Tool Hire in Potchefstroom, by the Day

Hire instead of buy

Lambsons Hire do tool and equipment hire for builders and weekend projects in Potch, at daily rates on serviced machines. For anything you use once or twice a year, hiring is not just cheaper — it is a machine that has been maintained by someone whose business depends on it starting.

Plan the day, not the job

Hire is charged by the day, so the money is won or lost before you collect. Have your materials on site first, know where the power and water are, and line up a second pair of hands. A mixer standing idle while someone fetches cement costs exactly the same as a mixer working.

• Collect early. Lambsons open at half past seven on weekdays; a full day starts at eight, not at eleven.
• Check the transport. A concrete mixer and scaffolding frames need a bakkie or a trailer. Confirm what fits in what before you drive in.
• Weekend jobs need Saturday planning. Saturday hours are short and Sunday is closed — work out the return before you commit to a two-day job.

Check it before you sign

Start the machine at the counter, look over the leads, guards and hoses, and photograph anything already damaged. Ask what the deposit is and what condition it comes back in — most hire disputes are about fuel and cleaning, both of which are easy to get right on the way back.
