: Detection Equipment
Size the machine to the job, not to the budget. Undersized detection equipment costs more in the end, because the hire runs longer and the operator works harder for the same result.
The main classes here are cable and pipe locator, ground penetrating radar, leak detector, metal detector, thermal camera. Work out which class you are in first, then compare suppliers inside it - comparing across classes on price alone is how the wrong machine ends up on site.
Ask what the rate actually includes. Delivery, collection, the damage waiver and any environmental fee are all real money, and a low headline rate can lose to a higher one once they are added.
Most of this class can be run without a formal ticket, but read the machine notes: site rules and insurers often ask for more than the law does.
How much does it cost to hire detection equipment?
It depends on the size of the machine and how long you need it. Pick your dates on this page and each supplier shows the all-in price for exactly those days, including delivery and any fees, before you commit to anything.
How far ahead do I need to book?
We need 24 hours notice, and popular sizes go early in busy weeks. Booking two or three days out gives you the most choice of supplier.
Is delivery included?
Delivery and collection are priced separately by each supplier and shown in your quote before you pay. Where a machine can be collected from the yard, pickup is free.
Do I need a licence to operate detection equipment?
Generally no formal ticket is needed, but check the listing: the supplier notes any training or certification they require before releasing the machine.
What happens if I need it for longer?
Tell the supplier before your off-hire date and they extend the booking at the same rate. If the extension crosses into a weekly or four-week band, the cheaper band applies.
What if the machine breaks down?
Call the supplier through your booking. Breakdowns that are not caused by misuse are their responsibility, and the hire clock stops while the machine is down.
