Plant hire on Bidly — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between wet rate and dry rate plant hire?
Wet rate includes the operator and usually fuel; dry rate is the machine only — you supply the operator. Bidly lets you specify which on the job listing.
How quickly can I get a TLB on site?
Plant operators typically have machines available within 24–48 hours of a Bidly award, depending on your location.
Do Bidly plant hire bids include float and transport?
Operators usually quote transport separately or include it explicitly. Mention your site location accurately to get all-in bids.
Can I hire on hourly, daily or weekly rates?
All three. Pick the rate type when you post the job and bidders quote against it.
Is plant available for weekend work?
Yes — a portion of plant operators run weekend rates. Add weekend availability to your job description.
