Please read the following terms and conditions of hire carefully before engaging our services. By hiring equipment from KLC Earthworks and Demolition, you agree to these terms.

1. Minimum Hire Charges

All machines and attachments are wet hired at their hourly hire rate. Each minimum hire is under the machine prices except for after-hours work.

5. Cancellations

Minimum hire will be applicable if the machinery is not cancelled 1 hour prior to commencement time (or 1.5 hours if outside 30km from the CBD).

It is solely the customer's responsibility to cancel due to wet weather — failure to do so will incur a minimum hire charge.

Float cancellation must be made 24 hours prior to scheduled job commencement. Failure to do so will incur a full float charge.

8. Carryover

Carryover of machinery to the next day incurs full travel charge each day.

9. Toll Charges

Toll charges apply when incurred travelling to and from tip sites, or between jobs for the same customer on the same day.

10. Tip Fees

Tip fees charged to our tip accounts will attract a surcharge. All dumping arrangements must be communicated to our office prior to tipping.

11. Payment Terms

COD customers must supply valid credit card details that can be used to take full payment at the end of each day.

A credit card surcharge of 1.5% applies.

12. General Terms
