Equipment hire on Bidly — frequently asked questions
What kinds of equipment can I hire through Bidly?
Anything from a 2-ton scaffold tower to a 50kVA silent generator, breakers, mixers, levellers, lighting towers and small site tools.
Is delivery and pickup included?
Some suppliers include it, others quote it separately. Specify your address in the job so bidders can quote accurately.
Are deposits required for equipment hire?
Most rental yards require a deposit on long-running or high-value items. Bidly leaves the contracting between you and the supplier.
Can I extend a hire after it starts?
Yes — coordinate directly with the supplier. Most yards charge pro-rata day rates for extensions.
Is fuel included on generator hire?
Usually no — most suppliers deliver with a starter tank only. Confirm in the bidder's quote.
