01

Machines You Can Rent

Tell us the job and we match the machine. The range covers earthmoving, haulage, compaction, lifting and concrete work:

02

Operated Hire or Machine Only

Most clients hire machinery with an experienced operator, which keeps productivity up and puts machine handling with someone who knows it. Machine-only (dry) hire can be discussed for clients with their own qualified operators. Either way, the quote states who operates, who supplies fuel, daily working hours, and who is responsible for the machine on site.

03

Hire Periods

Machinery can be booked for a few hours, by the day, week or month, or for the full length of a project. Longer hires are usually priced more favourably per day — ask for a monthly or project rate when the scope is clear. Minimum hire periods, standby time and overtime are stated in the quote.

04

Delivery to Site

Tracked machines such as excavators, dozers and crawler cranes move between sites on a low-bed trailer. Transport to and from site is quoted separately, based on the distance, the machine's weight and the access route. Wheeled machines and trucks can usually drive to nearby sites.

05

Where We Work

Machines are dispatched from Addis Ababa for sites in the city and surrounding areas such as Sebeta, Sululta, Burayu, Legetafo, Bishoftu and Adama. Sites further out are accepted job by job after we confirm the route, access, accommodation for operators and the length of the hire.

06

What to Send for a Quote

The fastest way to a firm quote is a short description of the job. Include:

  • the machine type and size you think you need, or the job if you are not sure;
  • the quantity of machines;
  • site location (town, sub-city or woreda, or GPS pin) and how heavy equipment reaches it;
  • start date and expected duration — hours, days, weeks or the whole project;
  • whether you need an operator, and who supplies fuel;
  • whether the machine must be delivered to site on a low-bed, or you will collect it.
  • ground conditions and anything unusual about the site.

Use the machinery enquiry form, phone or WhatsApp. An enquiry does not reserve a machine until we confirm in writing.
