The answer to this question depends on the circumstances and the complexities of your situation. If the haulage distance or duration is unpredictable, then a tipper hire rate per hour would probably be more appropriate. But if the truck is loading material in a consistent way, then a tipper hire per tonne rate might be more appropriate.

Dry Hire – Long term contracts

If you’ve got a decent amount of time to spend on a project – then many enterprising plant hire Company will offer dry hire to their clients. This usually means a long term contract with them that is based on a per tonne or per hour hire.

However, you will have to pay extra for stand down rates if the tipper isn’t being used, or penalty rates if the plant hire company has to charge more than usual. These are generally charged in accordance with the award that governs the construction industry. It’s worth making sure you ask your plant hire company for these terms before agreeing to anything.
