Mobile Screening Plant Hire Rates Guide

Understanding the hire rates for mobile screening plant equipment is key to effectively budgeting for your project. This table outlines the average rates, offering insight into both wet and dry hire options:

Note: Rates vary depending on the machine's age, brand and location within Australia. All listed prices are estimates, exclude GST and are in AUD.

It's rare that any of our suppliers will be comfortable hiring a screening plant on a dry hire basis, unless they can be sure you have someone on staff who is trained to operate it. Screening plant can be dangerous and hiring companies are often liable for the machine's safe operation, even in a dry hire arrangement (or expect to sign an extensive waiver when hiring). In order to dry hire, you are going to need to prove to them that you can operate the screen, as well as maintain and trouble-shoot when operating.

Given that the screen often operates as part of a circuit, usually including a crushing plant and conveyor belt it's likely the supplier hiring the screen to you will really want to understand how the aggregate is coming into the screen and leaving, and will want to properly install the screen to ensure it works with it's contingent equipment.

Different Types and Capacities of Mobile Screening Equipment

Mobile screening plant equipment is crucial for sorting and processing various materials. They come in diverse types and capacities to meet different operational needs. Understanding these variations helps in selecting the ideal equipment.

Here is a list of different types and where they’re suitable for:

• Trommel Screens: Ideal for screening soil, compost, wood chips, etc. Their rotating drums separate materials based on size.
• Vibratory Screens: Use vibration to separate materials. Great for sorting sand, gravel, and other fine materials.
• Inclined Screens: These screens are set at an angle and use gravity to move material down the screen. Good for larger, heavier materials.
• Horizontal Screens: Offer high efficiency and precision in sorting. They work well for both wet and dry materials.
• Scalping Screens: Designed for heavy-duty applications like quarry work. They can handle large, rugged materials.

This quick comparison table details popular models, capacities and pros and cons of different screening equipment:

Other Essential Equipment

Apart from the main screening units, several other machines and services complement mobile screening operations. These equipment enhance efficiency, safety, and overall functionality:

• Excavators: Essential for feeding material into screening plant. Excavators offer precision and control.
• Wheel Loaders: If you go to different sites, you’ll see wheel loaders transporting and loading materials before and after screening.
• Conveyors: Conveyors transport sorted materials away from the screening plant for further processing or stockpiling.
• Crushers: Often paired with screeners, crushers complete material processing – crushing, then screening.
• Dust Suppression Units: Vital for controlling dust at screening sites, dust suppression units help improve air quality and safety in many sites.

Mobile vs. Stationary Screening Plant

When choosing between mobile and stationary screening plant, your project's requirements come first. Mobile plant offers flexibility and adaptability, but stationary plant excels in long-term, high-volume operations. In this section, we look at their key differences that can significantly impact efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Mobile Screening Plant: Advantages and Considerations

Mobile screening plant equipment is a go-to choice for dynamic project environments. Their key benefits include adaptability to diverse locations and swift deployment, making them ideal for projects with variable screening needs and shorter timelines. These are the main advantages of a mobile screening plant:

• Flexibility: Easily relocated to different sites, ideal for short-term projects.
• Reduced Setup Time: Quick to deploy and dismantle, saving valuable project time.
• Space Efficiency: Requires less space, suitable for smaller or congested sites.

Stationary Screening Plant: Benefits and Limitations

Stationary screening plants are tailored for high-volume, long-term projects. They offer unmatched stability and consistent performance, ideal for operations where a permanent, robust screening setup is a priority. Here are the benefits stationary screening plants offer:

• Higher Capacity: Designed for larger scale, long-term projects with consistent output.
• Cost-Effectiveness: More economical over time for continuous, high-volume screening.
• Stability: Offers robust and reliable performance in a fixed location.

This table provides a quick comparison between the two screen plant options:

The choice between mobile and stationary screening plants depends on your project's scale, duration and location. While mobile plant offers agility, stationary plants are unmatched in stability and capacity for large-scale operations.

Local and Regional Regulations for Mobile Screening

When hiring a mobile screening plant, knowing local and regional regulations is vital. These regulations usually cover the following areas: environmental compliance, safety standards and operational permits.

Environmental Compliance

Environmental regulations vary across Australia, ensuring a mobile screening plant operates sustainably. This table highlights the regulations that govern environmental compliance in work sites:

Safety Standards

Safety standards are crucial for the smooth operation of mobile screening plant. These safety guidelines can help improve site health and safety:

• Electrical Safety: Equipment must comply with electrical safety standards to prevent accidents.
• Noise Control: Operators must ensure noise levels are within the legal limits to minimise disturbance.
• Dust Suppression: Effective dust control measures are required to maintain air quality and worker health.
• Machinery Guarding: Proper guarding of moving parts to prevent injuries.

Operational Permits

Different states may have specific permit requirements for operating mobile screening plants. This table provides a quick overview of the permits you may need according to each state/territory:

Understanding and adhering to these local and regional regulations is essential for the legal and safe operation of mobile screening plant across different Australian territories.
