Bulldozer Hire

When Dozer Hire on the Sunshine Coast is the Best Option

If you have a construction project to start, a bulldozer can be an invaluable piece of equipment. It can save you a huge amount of time and effort, especially when preparing a site, by moving large quantities of soil, rocks and vegetation so you can quickly level the area, dig out trenches and foundations, and create the desired land contours.

The main problem with acquiring bulldozers is their cost, with each one being priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars. To justify that sort of investment, you’ll need to keep the bulldozer working hard and use it on a very regular basis. If you don’t have the level of work to justify an outright purchase, however, bulldozer hire is the answer and the most cost-effective way of tackling individual projects.

Choosing the Right Bulldozer Hire in Sunshine Coast

At Fraser Earthworks we have a range of options available, and you need to take several factors into account for dozer hire to select the one that’s best for you:

• Size. Large dozers are extremely powerful and are capable of moving very large quantities of material in a short period as well as being able to force their way through brush and rough terrain. Smaller ones are faster, more manoeuvrable and suitable for finishing works and general landscaping. By hiring, you can obtain the type that’s suitable for you at different stages.
• Dry or wet hire. Dry hire bulldozers on the Sunshine Coast are supplied without a driver while wet hire means the vehicle and a driver are supplied together as a package. If you have a qualified and experienced operator on your staff, dry hire is the best option and means you will be dealing with someone familiar with you and your methods. Otherwise, wet hire will be the best choice so that you will have an operator who will get the best out of the equipment. A compromise is to dry hire the dozer and then hire a driver for short periods as needed; this will save money providing the arrangement is possible and practical.
• Features. Some bulldozers have a number of features that include GPS tracking and control, grade and slope assist functionality, low-ground pressure tracks, rearview cameras, various sizes and styles of blades, and rippers to loosen compacted soil. Choose a machine that has options you really need but try to avoid paying for functions that you don’t want.
