The real occupied span

The hire ends after the hand-back

The fleet view follows the complete mini excavator hire through the clean-down and condition check rather than reopening at the nominal event finish.

Three diggers out on Friday and one float.

A van drives itself to the job. A machine has to be taken there, and most people hiring one for a weekend have nothing that can tow it.

  • Delivery is a resource, not a note

    Book the float like you book the machine and the Friday that cannot physically happen is one you spot on the Tuesday.

  • A breaker is separate stock

    Attachments go out with a machine and come back on their own, so a free digger does not always mean the job on the phone is possible.

  • Out is out

    A hired machine leaves the page from drop to pickup, so a digger sitting in a garden all week is never sold to a second customer.

Built for your yard

Built for every kind of plant hire

A farm-drainage mini excavator

Hold the machine through yard check, Eircode delivery, site days and clean-down.

The garden landscaping job

Keep the compact machine and access note together.

A wet return needs inspection

Leave wash and condition time before the excavator returns online.

Inspection before the next hirer

The garden landscaping job: hold the mini excavator after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first Eircode

A farm-drainage mini excavator: public booking captures one Eircode; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A wet return needs inspection: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Compact excavator or larger mini excavator

The garden landscaping job: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

Bank transfer reaches the office

A farm-drainage mini excavator: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

A wet return needs inspection: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one mini excavator

The garden landscaping job: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

A weekend that becomes a week.

Ground is always worse than they thought. Move the pickup and the price follows the new span, off your day and week rates.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A farm-drainage mini excavator: the accepted quote and manually recorded bank transfer keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A farm-drainage mini excavator: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The garden landscaping job: apply bank transfer or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    A wet return needs inspection: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your plant hire business.

Online booking

Show the mini excavators that are actually free, then collect the selected option, time and first Eircode in one request.

Scheduling

The selected mini excavator stays unavailable through the clean-down and condition check; other units keep their own hours.

Standing bookings

Regular mini excavator hire stays on one selected weekday and can finish on a date or after the agreed count of bookings.

The float is bookable too

Most customers cannot tow a machine, so delivery is a resource with its own limit and usually the one that runs out before the diggers do.

Attachments are their own stock

A breaker or an auger goes out with a machine and comes back separately, so a free digger does not always mean the job can be done.

One machine, one site

A hired machine leaves the page from drop to pickup, so a digger sitting in somebody’s garden is never promised to a second job.

Customers

Keep bookings and offline payment history beneath each customer, whether the enquiry comes from hirers, venues and local organisations.

Team

Use working hours when assigning a late mini excavator return, so the named plant-yard staff is genuinely available for the handover.

Payments

Apply bank transfer to the matching hire and show what remains due. Settlement stays offline, with no card checkout or payment link.
