How much does it cost?

$130/hr + GST + 18% fuel surcharge as a baseline. 4-hour minimum on every job. Half-day, full-day and project work quoted per job. Itemised invoice with GST-inclusive total — no hidden fees.

Do I need a licence to hire the truck?

No. Our HR-licensed operator drives the truck on every job — this isn't a self-drive rental. You just need clear site access and a hazard brief; we handle everything to do with the vehicle.

What areas do you cover?

All Gold Coast suburbs from Tweed Heads to Coomera, plus surrounding areas. A travel surcharge may apply outside the metro area.

Do you take small / one-off residential jobs?

Our focus is civil and commercial work. We'll consider larger residential or owner-builder jobs case-by-case — just call to discuss. Smaller one-off rentals or casual hire isn't our model.

What if bad weather cancels the job?

We'll reschedule at no extra cost — just let us know at least 6 hours ahead. If we can't safely operate on the day, we work with you to find the next available slot.

Operated tipper hire in Mermaid Beach for civil and commercial work

Operated tipper hire in Mermaid Beach done right means a SITRAK G5S 6×4 with an HR-licensed driver showing up on time, doing the job, and getting off site without you having to think about it twice. We're based in Mermaid Beach (4218) — most of our work is within 20 minutes of the depot, so we're rarely the reason a job slips.

Civil contractors, commercial builders, and earthmoving subcontractors use us for fill removal, spoil disposal, road-base delivery, site clean-ups, and material runs across Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Miami and the rest of the central Gold Coast. We're not a self-drive rental and we don't sub the work out — same operator, same truck, every job.

Pricing is straightforward: $130/hr + GST + 18% fuel surcharge, 4-hour minimum, $200 deposit at booking, $2,000 bond pre-auth released on clean return. No hidden penalty rates for Saturday work and no day-rate switch if your job runs long.

Booking us for a Mermaid Beach job — what to expect

Send us the job details (site address, materials, rough hours) and we'll text back the same day with a firm quote and the next available slot. Most jobs we book within the week. The truck turns up at 6am if you need it — we work Mon–Sat 6am to 5pm.

On arrival the operator runs a 2-minute site induction with your supervisor, signs off the SWMS, and we're working. Hours are tracked from on-site, not from the depot. End of job, you sign off the completion form on the operator's phone, the GST invoice is auto-drafted, and the bond is released within 24 hours assuming no damage.

What's included in $130/hr

Itemised so you can plug it straight into your project budget. Plus 18% fuel surcharge and GST on top.

Why operated, not dry hire

No HR licence chase

Operated means we drive. You don't need to find a tipper-licensed worker on your team or pay an extra body to sit in the cab. The hourly rate already includes the operator.

Same operator every job

Our regular operator — not a rotating roster. By job two we know your sites, your supervisor, and the access constraints around your usual yards.

All-in pricing

$130/hr + 18% fuel + GST. No 'plus operator', no 'plus weekend rates', no 'plus tip fees we forgot to mention'. What we quote is what the invoice says.

Frequently asked

Do you cover Mermaid Beach and surrounding suburbs same-week?

Almost always. Mermaid Beach is our base — most jobs we book within the week, often 24–48 hours out. If we're full, we'll tell you straight up rather than stringing you along.

What's the minimum hire?

4 hours. If your Mermaid Beach job genuinely fits in less, we'll still quote it — at the 4-hour minimum. For most civil work in the area (subdivision spoil, commercial fill removal, multi-load deliveries), 4 hours is on the low end anyway.

Do you handle fill removal AND material delivery in the same booking?

Yes. Common combo on Mermaid Beach jobs is taking spoil out on one run and bringing road base or topsoil back on the next. You're billed for the on-site time, not per direction.

What materials do you carry?

Fill, spoil, sand, gravel, road base, crushed rock, topsoil, garden soil, green waste, construction rubble, demolition waste. We don't carry asbestos or EPA-regulated contaminated waste — that needs a specialist licence we don't hold.

How do you handle access in older Mermaid Beach streets?

The SITRAK 6×4 is a mid-size rig — fits through tighter access than a truck-and-dog combo. For the older parts of Mermaid Beach with narrow kerbside access, we'll usually do a quick site visit if you're not sure.

What's the deposit and bond?

$200 flat deposit at booking (held via Stripe pre-auth), $2,000 bond pre-auth released on clean return. Insurance excess is $5,000 if there's a damage claim. Standard B2B civil terms.

Where do you tip the load?

We have established tipping arrangements across the Gold Coast. Tip fees are passed through at cost on your invoice — we don't mark them up.
