How does BuildHire deliver excavators across NSW?

## BuildHire Excavator Delivery Across NSW BuildHire's delivery service is one of the key reasons customers choose us over local hire depots. You don't need a trailer, a tow vehicle, or a loading ramp — we bring the machine to your site and take it away when you're done. ### How Delivery Works BuildHire's delivery driver arrives at your site with the excavator loaded on a low-loader trailer. The driver: 1. Positions the trailer at a suitable unloading point on or near your site 2. Lowers the trailer ramps 3. Drives the excavator off the trailer under its own power 4. Positions the machine at your preferred starting point 5. Provides a brief operating handover At the end of your hire, the process is reversed. You position the machine near the road or driveway access; the BuildHire driver loads it back onto the trailer. ### Delivery Pricing **Greater Sydney (all suburbs):** From $150 per hire (delivery + collection) — $150 for 0.8T, 1T, and 1.7T; $250 for the 3.5T.
