Hourly Rate for 7 tonner

[Spruce Pirate]

Does anyone have a ball park rate per hour for a 7 ton excavator with operator? Been asked if I know, and I don't. Had a quick search on here, but couldn't find anything.

 

No transport to site required, just a rate.

 

Thanks

35 pound an hour I would charge,that's with fuel supplied by operator

Got to be at least this really.

 

Id reckon on 300 a day which works out near the same thing.

 

Fuel included but not transport.

Too cheap. Get that for a 3 tonner.

We pay £40 per hour for a 14 ton with buckets,£45 with attachments demo grab,hammer etc

Such a huge variation in rates both geographically and in terms of what you actually get for your money it's incredible, and that's before anyone even starts on the whole Self Drive debate?

 

It's incredibly hard as someone doing it professionally with newish kit, some attachments perhaps, fully insured and plenty of experience is going to be miles away from someone taking out the Farm machine between Milking times?

 

I don't have to tell anyone here, it's always the same when someone asks the rate for a Gang with Chipper?

 

 

I always give full credit to Drew Graham for sticking up a full menu of his prices, I assume they will have a bit of negotiation for longer hires etc, but it's always worth a look? Some serious kit available too!

That Komatsu forwarder is in at JCC Engcon just now, I don't think it's had sympathetic operators.

That doesn't sound too good? Such a shame if kit gets abused.

 

I've never seen it but it must be a monster with the pads on!

Pads were off it as was getting rear bogies fixed, from memory I think it's got cog like digger has for driving the tracks. As for abuse, all I can say was it has that look. When you see something bent or broken and you think how did they manage to bend that... And there's a few bits on machine like that!

£350 a day plus fuel.
