Mini loader wet hire FAQ

FAQ

Mini loader wet hire, rates, and coverage.

Are you a Dingo, Kanga, digger, or a dealer?

No. Wolf Mini Loaders wet-hires one Rhinoceros mini loader (tracked) with an operator. We are not a Dingo, Kanga, or Rhinoceros dealer, and we do not hire a digger or a 5-tonne excavator. Compact excavations, post holes, and trenches are this same mini loader.

What machine do you hire?

A Rhinoceros mini loader (tracked) — KS1000 / KS1000L class compact track loader. Operating weight about 1.6 tonnes. About 25HP Kubota diesel, rubber tracks, pilot joystick, 4-in-1 bucket included, and dual aux / multi-pump hydraulics so the auger and trencher have flow. Trencher cuts trenches 150 mm wide, up to 900 mm deep. Wet hire with operator only.

Is this mini loader hire with operator?

Yes — machine plus operator, tight-access tracked mini loader work. Wolf wet-hires a Rhinoceros mini loader (tracked). Same class of job.

Is this a track loader or Posi-Track?

It is a compact track loader — a rubber-tracked Rhinoceros mini loader (KS1000 / KS1000L class), not a sit-down Posi-Track. Wet hire with operator only.

Is this wet hire or dry hire?

Wet hire only. The Rhinoceros mini loader comes with a Wolf operator. You do not take the keys. We do not dry-hire, and we do not sell plant.

What does $110/hour include?

The published machine rate is $110 per hour + GST ($121 including GST). That is the Rhinoceros mini loader plus operator. The 4-in-1 / GP bucket is included in that rate. Transport from $55 + GST, quoted per job from Redcliffe. Transport is charged separately from machine hire. We'll confirm the transport amount when we quote your job. Auger (post holes) and trencher are $25 per hour + GST. Trencher cuts trenches 150 mm wide, up to 900 mm deep. Excavations use the $110 machine rate. We do not publish a breaker or forks price.

Is there a minimum hire?

Yes. Minimum call-out is 3 hours plus transport from $55 + GST, quoted per job from Redcliffe. Transport is charged separately from machine hire. We'll confirm the transport amount when we quote your job.

How does payment work?

For larger or new jobs we take a deposit covering transport (from $55 + GST) plus the 3-hour minimum before we mobilise; balance due on the day. Smaller local jobs can be paid on completion by transfer or card. Transport is charged separately from machine hire. We'll confirm the transport amount when we quote your job.

How can I pay?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and eftpos via Square. No card surcharge.

Do you take small backyard jobs?

Yes. We love them. Forget that wheelbarrow, give Wolf a howl. Soil removal and spoil load-out, levelling a garden bed, excavating for a small concrete slab — typical Rhinoceros mini loader wet hire on a tight residential yard. Same published rate: $110/hour + GST with operator. Minimum 3 hours plus transport from $55 + GST. Tipper cartage is available if the spoil or rubbish has to leave — quote on enquiry.

Do you offer a tipper service?

Yes. Tipper hire with operator for spoil removal, rubbish removal, and soil cartage from North Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast. We often load the tipper with the mini loader on the same job. Quote on enquiry — we do not publish a tipper hourly rate. Tip fees may apply. Tick tipper / spoil cartage on the enquiry, or mention it when you call.

Do you do excavations?

Yes — compact excavations on the same Rhinoceros mini loader: yards, pads, garden beds, small cut/fill, and load-out on tight residential, farm, and small-site jobs. Tell us the cut when you enquire.

Do you drill post holes and run trenches?

Yes. Same Rhinoceros mini loader, wet hire with operator. Hydraulic auger for fence posts and tree pits — post hole auger hire as an attachment, not a second machine. Trencher hire for irrigation, power, and data runs. Trencher cuts trenches 150 mm wide, up to 900 mm deep. Dual aux / multi-pump hydraulics feed those attachments. Those attachments are $25 per hour + GST. Tell us the hole count or the trench run when you enquire.

Where do you cover?

North Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast. We come to you from the Redcliffe Peninsula yard and travel to the Sunshine Coast — Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Kawana Waters, Buderim, Caloundra, Coolum Beach, Nambour, Noosa — plus Scarborough, Redcliffe, North Lakes, Caboolture, and northern Brisbane suburbs. Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, and south or west Brisbane are outside the core patch. You can still enquire. Transport from $55 + GST, quoted per job from Redcliffe.
