For tool and plant hire firms serving trade and DIY customers - excavators, loaders, dumpers, rollers. Written for someone who already knows what they need and wants a yes/no for Tuesday, so availability search leads the page instead of a brand story. The vertical is set to equipment, which strips the booking form back to a damage waiver alone.
Set the units count per item properly - it is the whole point of a hire business, and it is what lets you take four bookings for four breakers but refuse the fifth. Put the specification a trade buyer checks in each description (operating weight, dig depth, drum width, power supply) and state delivery, collection and out-of-hours rates on the booking path. If items need a ticket or certificate to operate, say so on the listing rather than at the counter.
Tool and plant hire customers arrive with a machine in mind and a date. They are checking availability and rate, and anything that slows those two down sends them to the depot down the road.
Day, week, weekend, month. Trade customers compare weekly rates and DIY customers compare day rates, and a page that shows only one loses half its visitors.
Weight, reach, capacity, power, whether attachments are included and what fits on a trailer. This is the detail a site foreman checks before booking anything.
Licence or ticket needed, deposit, delivery and collection charges, fuel, damage waiver and who loads it. Surprises at collection cost the repeat hire that this trade depends on.
Machines, hire periods and damage waivers are entered once in set up your fleet, with the money side in pricing, fees and deposits. More in how to hire out equipment online.
Yes - you can start building and customizing the Equipment Hire template for free. The Rentals features need a paid plan (included in Starter), and the 14-day Starter free trial covers everything in this template.
It comes with 5 ready-made pages: Home, Inventory, About, Manage Booking, Contact.
It is set up for Rentals. Those are built in rather than add-ons, so they work from the moment the site is created.
It arrives with 4 pieces of equipment priced and ready to hire, so you are editing a working business rather than filling in an empty layout. Replace the demo content with your own as you go.
Work Sans for headings and IBM Plex Sans for body text, on a palette built around #1c1c1c and #ff7a00.
No. The Equipment Hire template is edited visually in the drag-and-drop builder - no coding at any point.
