Below we cover the costs for wet and dry grader hire, the range of graders available for hire, along with their average payload capacities.

Dry Hire Grader Rates

Hiring a medium-sized grader for a long-term project is typically an easy process, however, it can be difficult to get rates for 10ft mini graders and the massive 24ft graders, because they're so rare. Also, note that you won't likely have much luck hiring a grader for a short-term job (like a couple of hours or even a day).

Mobilising graders can be difficult due to their blade width, so you might get push back from suppliers if you have a very short-term job. If you are trying to do a small leveling job, we suggest you post a quote request for a skid steer, loader or excavator with a blade attachment.

All quoted prices are averages and exclude GST.

Grader Rates Dry Hire Low Hourly Dry Hire High Hourly Av Day Rates Hourly Min
10 Ft Blade Grader POA POA POA N/A
12 Ft Blade Grader $75 $135 $756 1-3 Days
14 Ft Blade Grader $90 $145 $846 1-3 Days
16 Ft Blade Grader $105 $160 $954 1-3 Days
24 Ft Blade Grader POA POA POA N/A

Wet Hire Grader Rates

There is more to wet hiring a grader than meets the eye - precisely the operator's skill level, as leveling is a precision earthmoving task. There are two types of operators - people who have been trained to use all yellow gear and have the basics of operation, and niche grader operators called 'Final Trim' operators.

Final Trim operators are highly skilled individuals, trained to operate a grader within millimeters tolerance of the earthworks design. If you are hiring on wet hire, be sure to specify what type of operator you're chasing, because good Final Trim guys are hard to find and come at a premium to the below cited rates.

All quoted prices are averages and exclude GST and don’t include Final Trim operators (which are often more expensive).

Grader Rates Wet Hire Low Hourly Wet Hire High Hourly Av Day Rates Hourly Min
10 Ft Blade Grader POA POA POA 1-3 Days
12 Ft Blade Grader $145 $205 $1,260 1-3 Days
