Learn more about plant hire

How do I start renting heavy equipment online?

The first step you can take to start renting heavy equipment online is to create an online booking website. This can be done easily using plant hire software like Twice. The website should include information on the different types of heavy equipment and machines you have available for rent, as well as the rates, contact details, and terms of the rental agreement. Although the sector generally operates on the basis of quoting and invoicing, you should also set up a payment processing system that allows customers to pay for their rentals online. As heavy equipment rentals tend to be long-term, it is important that your system offers the option to bill or charge on a recurring monthly basis. With Twice's integrated payment gateways you start accepting payments in no time.

How do I start a plant hire business?

The first step is to research the plant hire market and learn about the industry. This includes learning about the potential customers, the competition, the legal requirements, and the necessary equipment and personnel. The second step is to develop a business plan. This document will outline your business goals, strategies, and financial projections. The third step is to get started! Once you have your business plan in place, you can begin setting up your business and marketing it to potential customers.

Is a plant hire business profitable?

There is no definitive answer to this question because it depends on a number of factors, such as your client portfolio, the size of the market, and the prices charged. However, generally speaking, plant hire businesses can be very profitable if they are well run and offer good customer service. Your earnings will mainly consist of rental income from the heavy equipment and machines. You can earn extra income by selling additional services relevant to the construction industry. Rental fleet, storage space, insurance, transportation, and staff salaries are typically the most significant expenses.

Do I need plant hire software?

It is strongly recommended that you start using cloud-based plant hire software from the beginning of your business. Rental management software allows you to manage inventory, process orders, and run your plant hire business in one system instead of spreading all the information across several apps and spreadsheets. This gives you a better overview of your business and complete control of the rental operation.

What is meant by plant hire?

Plant hire is the act of renting or leasing heavy construction equipment. This can include bulldozers, excavators, and cranes. It is a common practice in the construction industry, as it allows companies to avoid the cost of purchasing their own equipment.
