You hire a tipper if you intend to ‘bulk haul’ materials, but it’s not a subcontracted service. It's a hire contract, either on wet hire (with operator and fuel) or dry hire (machine only) terms. Contractors with tippers for hire will lease you a truck for a defined period of time. There are big swings in the rates below because truck capacities vary so substantially.
Type | Capacity Range | Dry Hire (Per Hour) | Dry Hire (Per Day) | Wet Hire (Per Hour) | Wet Hire (Per Day) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bogie Tipper | 3 - 10 Tonne | $50 - $250 | $230 - $1,800 | $90 - $140 | $680 - $1,100 |
Truck & Dog | 15 - 30+ Tonne | $100 - $400 | $700 - $2,500 | $160 - $200 | $1,100 - $1,500 |
Semi Tipper | 20 - 165 Tonne | $70 - $500 | $500 - $3,600 | $135 - $600 | $970 - $4,300 |
Side Tipper | 20 - 30 Tonne | $70 - $200 | $500 - $1,440 | $100 - $200 | $720 - $1,500 |
