what would you charge?

[Stephen Blair]

are you near calidonian foresterys yard? i am going there tomorrow morning

[b101uk]

So based on an 8h day which includes travailing the p/h cost is

 

Valmet 6400 front loader with 11tonne botex trailer, 560tl trailer mounted crane £350 per day = £43.75 per hour and less than 8 hours on site/work.

 

Valmet 6400 front loader with tp200 woodchipper £275 per day = £34.37 per hour and less than 8 hours on site/work.

 

Valmet 6400 front loader with 31/2 tonne winch £225 per day = £28.12 per hour and less than 8 hours on site/work.

 

You then seemingly want fuel cost on top and all the above is for an old Valmet 6400 which are ~95hp 4 cylinder and working somewhat less than 8h on site, I wish you luck though there are many fools about especially in arb now!

 

 

 

Volvo 2.7 tonne digger £160 per day £210 with timber grab and rotator. = £20 per hour to £26.25 and less than 8 hours on site, Also a grab and rotator is hardly specialized or more importantly costly in comparison to the digger its on so to say £50/day is really a little wide of the mark, your rate for just the digger isn’t to far off but in realistic terms you would have to look at 10h on site for £160/day given what you can hire 2.7t diggers for per day and the amount of hours you can use it if you operate it yourself

Im about 5 miles from the roundabout at the end of the M80 where you would come off to join onto the M9 outside Stirling. Thought Caledonian were on holiday till tuesday?

at those prices i would hire you on a regular bases as long as the kit was in good condition and the operators were on the ball, anymore than that and i wouldnt. I think you arent far off the mark mate

 

It's 100 quid plus vat just to hire a 6" chipper for the day, then you have fuel, van and a worker to pay, 160 for all that is way too cheap.

[Stephen Blair]

one of their employees told me they were open tomorrow although jim might not be in but i am calling tomorrow morning to double check before i set off, if they are closed it will be a major ball ache for me.

Fair comment mate. Up hear you will be hard pushed to get most companies to work 8hrs never mind longer. Must be hard down there, your working too long:001_tt2:

Would you consider a "Rigging" cost?

 

We and most companies here charge two hours working time to cover getting to the job.Once you have greased,Fueled,loaded and checked the Fluid levels plus factored in travel time the two hours often barely covers it.

 

That way at least,the client has a machine arrive ready for work and you have been paid for the entire time you were working for the client.
