Earthmoving & Civil Hire FAQs
Answers to the questions Perth civil contractors and builders ask most about hiring earthmoving equipment, from delivery to site and dry hire to licences and long-term project rates.
Yes, absolutely. Classic Hire operates a dedicated internal transport fleet consisting of a minimum of three transport vehicles per branch across all nine Perth locations. We deliver excavators, Bobcats, rollers, and trenchers directly to civil construction sites across the Perth metro area down to Mandurah. Transport is arranged seamlessly during your online enquiry or phone quote, with exact mobilisation times scheduled to match your site setup timeline.
We specialise exclusively in dry hire. All machinery is supplied site-ready, fully serviced, and thoroughly tested to manufacturers’ specifications for your own qualified operators to run. Dry hire gives civil contractors complete operational control over daily site schedules while avoiding operator markup costs. Our branch team provides a full operational handover and technical briefing at dispatch so your operators can get straight to work.
For standard earthmoving machinery operated on private property or commercial job sites in WA, a formal WorkSafe high-risk work licence is generally not required by law. However, operators must be competent and trained in machine controls. On Tier 1 civil infrastructure projects, site managers may require a Statement of Attainment or Verification of Competency (VOC). If you are towing plant on a trailer yourself, ensure your vehicle has the appropriate towing capacity and driver’s licence class.
Yes, we do. Classic Hire provides custom commercial agreements and discounted weekly or monthly rates for extended civil infrastructure, subdivision, and roadwork projects. Our Commercial Manager, Craig Palmer, acts as a single point of contact to structure tailored logistics, billing terms, and fleet allocation to match your project timeline.
