If you are hiring
Ask about the minimum hire period, delivery and collection, maintenance cover, breakdown response, replacement equipment, damage charges and notice to end the agreement. Confirm what happens if your project runs longer than expected.
If you are buying used
Ask for service records, operating hours, the condition of key components and the written warranty. For an electric truck, request battery details and charger specifications. Arrange an inspection or demonstration suitable for your intended use.
Compare the full quotation
A weekly rate or sale price may exclude transport, attachments, tax and other charges. Request a written breakdown, then compare the total against the same specification and period.
