FAQs

All units are meticulously maintained and ready for deployment to the most demanding sites. Our expansive fleet features leading global brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr and Hitachi — giving you reliable access to the right machinery for each production stage.
Can I rent mining equipment for short-term or long-term projects?
Yes. National Plant & Equipment offers both short-term and long-term mining equipment hire. Whether you need machinery for a few months or several years, we tailor rental agreements to match your production schedule. Flexible dry hire, wet hire and rent-to-buy options are also available to suit the scale and duration of your project.
Do you offer support and maintenance for your mining equipment rental?
Yes. Our seasoned maintenance team provides full support across all rental contracts, with options for self-maintained or fully maintained machinery depending on your needs. Every unit is serviced to the highest standards before deployment, with proactive upkeep built in to minimise downtime. If an issue arises, our rapid-response crews move fast to keep your operation running without delays.
How quickly can mining equipment be mobilised to the site?
Mobilisation time depends on equipment availability, site location and specific compliance requirements. Our in-house transport network and logistics partners allow us to move quickly even to remote or challenging sites. For an accurate estimate based on your project specifics, fill out the contact form above or reach out to us directly.
Can you supply multiple machines to the same site?
Yes. We regularly supply full fleets of mining equipment rentals to a single site. Whether you need a handful of machines or a large-scale deployment, we coordinate delivery to meet your production schedule and site requirements.
What are the advantages of mining equipment hire solutions over ownership?
While ownership can offer full control over assets and potential savings on multi-year projects, it also ties up significant capital and exposes operations to maintenance and compliance risks.
Hiring mining equipment provides far greater flexibility, preserves cash flow and allows companies to scale fleets up or down as project demands change. It also delivers access to the latest machinery without upfront investment, making it the smarter, more agile choice for large, fast-moving operations.
How does renting mining equipment reduce operational risk?
Mining equipment hire reduces operational risk by removing ownership burdens like depreciation, unexpected downtime and costly repairs. Moreover, the equipment rental agency’s personnel handle maintenance, and units can be replaced or upgraded quickly if operational needs change. This keeps projects more resilient, budgets under control and production schedules moving without disruption.
