Large Print
You will find our full conditions of hire in small print on the reverse of our Hire Contracts and copies are available on request. They are drawn up by very hard working lawyers for the Hire Association of Europe and reflect ever-changing legislation. While they are very important we selected some of the new interesting ones for you to read without your magnifying glass.
Insurance This is very important. When the equipment is on hire it is the hirers (that’s you) responsibility to look after it and not to lose it. If you do lose it we will charge you for its replacement. This may seem a bit hard but it is the only workable system where the person in possession of our equipment is also responsible for it. You should therefore ensure plant and tools are properly secured and that you Home Contents Insurance or Hired Plant Policy provides adequate cover. We, for our part, ensure all equipment is individually marked.
Payment A deposit is normally required while the equipment is on hire. This is variable depending on the type of equipment but will approximate three weeks hire charges. Payment may be by cash, cheque, or credit card. We accept MASTERCARD, VISA credit card and SWITCH debit cards. Company cheques and personal cheques beyond guarantee limits are accepted subject to authorisation by TRANSAX.
Errors and Omissions Excepted Whilst every care is taken in compiling this price list change in model or supplier can lead to variances in specification and dimensions. If these are critical to the task being performed you should obtain confirmation of exact sizes and weights before hire commencements.
Additional Items While our price list is comprehensive we are always adding new items. If the equipment you require is not listed please enquire, as it may be available or can be obtained for you. |
