Mobile Screening Plant Hire Rates Guide
This table outlines the average rates, offering insight into both wet and dry hire options:
| Plant Size | Dry Hire Rate (per day) | Wet Hire Rate (per day) |
|---|---|---|
| Small | $250 - $400 | $450 - $600 |
| Medium | $400 - $550 | $600 - $750 |
| Large | $600 - $800 | $800 - $1,000 |
Note: Rates vary depending on the machine's age, brand and location within Australia. All listed prices are estimates, exclude GST and are in AUD.
It’s rare to dry hire a screening plant unless you can demonstrate operator training, maintain safety standards, and the ability to maintain and troubleshoot the equipment. Hiring companies are often liable for safe operation, requiring extensive waivers or proof of competency.
Since the screen typically operates in a circuit with a crushing plant and conveyor belt, suppliers may insist on proper installation to ensure compatibility with related equipment, such as triple deck screens or mobile crushing setups. This approach minimises downtime costs and maximises cost effectiveness, ensuring seamless integration for crushing screening applications.
