Hi
Most places have their own equipment that can be borrowed but in Australia
you are governed by laws that prevent you from certain things and you do
indeed are required to to have that piece of paper that says that you can
drive or you are allowed to use that equipment.
For us we hire and put in the cost to the work entailed,storage of these
items cam be a problem, not to mention the cost of maintaining this items,
and in many cases transportation of the same.
And then you need a bigger van all these things, go hand in hand,regretfully
it looks that you will have to do a lot to of home work.
