The HV test equipment hire fleet by category, with calibration, hire terms and delivery.
How the hire works
Hire terms in brief
After you enquire
We confirm availability, rates and freight in a written quote, valid for the period it states (usually 14 days). An enquiry or quote does not reserve equipment: the hire is booked when your purchase order, signed quote or email acceptance reaches us.
Hire period
Our carrier: up to 72 hours of transit each way is not charged as hire. Hire starts at delivery or 72 hours after dispatch, whichever is earlier, and ends at handover to our carrier or 72 hours before the equipment arrives back, whichever is later. Delay caused by us or our carrier is not charged. For example, dispatched Monday 10am and delivered Wednesday 2pm: hire starts Wednesday 2pm. Routes that normally take longer than 72 hours are marked on the quote. Your own freight: hire runs from handover to your carrier at our office until the equipment arrives back at our office. Collect in person: from collection to return.
Extensions and early return
Contact us before the return deadline to extend; your quoted rates stay fixed and extended hire is invoiced every 7 days. Return early and you pay only for the days used, at the rate band for the days actually hired.
Delivery and returns
Freight for each leg, the handling fee and any express dispatch are on the quote, before you accept. Returns go to the dispatching office named on the quote, by carrier or in person, never by post.
Counter times
Returned to our counter before 9am on a business day counts as the previous day. Collected after 4pm on a business day, hire starts the next day. Weekends and public holidays count as hire days.
Calibration and checks
Supplied in working order with listed accessories, leads and manuals. Each measuring instrument is calibrated, and its current NATA-traceable calibration certificate is available on request. If calibration falls due during your hire, we tell you before dispatch.
Cancelling or moving a booking
Cancel 5 or more business days before dispatch or collection and nothing is charged. With 2 to 4 business days’ notice, the charge is the greater of one day’s hire and 5% of the booked hire; with less notice, the greater of one day’s hire and 10%. You can ask once to move the start by up to 30 days, with at least 2 business days’ notice.
Loss, damage and insurance
The equipment is your responsibility, other than fair wear and tear, from the start of hire until it is back with us, including in transit, up to the replacement value cap shown on the quote for each item. No damage waiver is offered. We recommend you insure the equipment for its replacement value.
Payment and bond
Account customers pay each invoice within 14 days. Without a credit account, or paying by card, you pay the booked hire, freight, handling fee and any bond before dispatch. A bond applies only where the quote states one, and is refunded after return and inspection, less anything owed.

Frequently Asked Questions Testing Equipments
How do I hire equipment?
You can submit a hire request through our website, email us directly, or give us a call. Once we confirm availability, we’ll send you a written quote. The hire is booked when you accept it by purchase order, signed quote or email, and we arrange delivery or pickup.
Is there a minimum hire period?
Yes, the minimum hire is one day. Day rates are published in four bands: 1 to 7 days, 8 to 14 days, 15 to 28 days and 29 to 90 days.
What types of test and measurement equipment do you offer?
We stock calibrated HV test equipment: relay test sets, primary injection and CT and VT test sets, transformer diagnostics, VLF and AC resonant hipot sets, partial discharge, insulation resistance and micro-ohm meters, earth testing, battery testing and thermal imaging. Contact us for specific models or requirements.
Do I need to pay a bond or deposit?
Only where your quote states one. A bond is paid before dispatch and refunded after the equipment is returned and inspected, less anything owed. Without a credit account, or paying by card, you pay the booked hire, freight and handling fee before dispatch.
Is the equipment calibrated and tested?
Yes. Equipment is supplied in working order with its listed accessories, leads and manuals. Each measuring instrument is calibrated, and its current NATA-traceable calibration certificate is available on request.
How quickly can I get the equipment?
In-stock items can usually be dispatched the same day for delivery or pickup. We offer express courier and shipping across Australia.
What happens if the equipment is damaged or lost?
The hirer is responsible for the safe return of all equipment. If an item is damaged or lost during the hire period, repair or replacement costs may apply as set out in our Terms and Conditions: Test Equipment Hire.
Can I extend my hire period?
Yes. Contact us before your return deadline. Continuing hire is invoiced every 7 days at the rates on your quote.
When does hire start and stop if you freight the equipment?
When we ship with our carrier, up to 72 hours of transit each way is not charged as hire. Hire starts at delivery or 72 hours after dispatch, whichever is earlier, and ends at handover to our carrier or 72 hours before the equipment reaches us, whichever is later. If you arrange your own freight, hire runs from dispatch until the equipment is back with us. If you collect in person, hire runs from collection to return. Full rules are in our Terms and Conditions: Test Equipment Hire.
