Hire questions
What do dry and wet mean?
Dry is the machine only: you supply the operator and the diesel. Wet is the machine, a Baletta operator and fuel in one hourly rate.
Can it lift 4 tonnes at full height?
No. 4 tonnes is the maximum rated capacity. The capacity available falls as the load goes higher or further out, and depends on the attachment. Each lift is planned against the machine’s load chart.
Is there a minimum?
Five hours a day. Weekly and monthly rates are lower per hour, so tell us the whole job.
Can it get onto a residential plot?
It is a wheeled machine that needs firm ground and space to set up. Send a photo of the access and the work area and we will check before booking.
Can I buy a telehandler from Baletta?
No. The telehandler is hire only. The excavators and the tractor are available to buy.
