Cheap digger hire 😳

Just came across this on Facebook, talk about a race to the bottom. They’ll be paying customers to hire them before long.

Mental! £220 for a week's hire of a 9 tonner.

I was having a conversation this morning..... Basically manufacturers want a punch in the face as it's partially them driving the rent a wreck debacle that kills one man bands and small contractors by selling in bulk to hire companies for ridiculous discounts.

I'm assuming that's £50/week etc on a HP/long term agreement.... Even still it's somewhat daft

Then again if they're buying Chinese diggers at discount prices they can afford to undercut the small contractors- if you can't beat em join em!?

Yes I looked again and I think it is for buying rather than hire. The advert didn’t really make it clear though.
