Document background
The Machinery Hire Agreement is essential for businesses in New Zealand that either provide or require temporary access to industrial equipment and machinery. This agreement type is commonly used when companies need specific equipment for projects or operations without the capital investment of purchasing. The document establishes a clear framework for the hiring arrangement, covering critical aspects such as payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, operator requirements, and risk allocation. It ensures compliance with New Zealand legislation, particularly regarding health and safety, commercial law, and personal property securities. The agreement protects both parties' interests by clearly defining responsibilities, liabilities, and operational requirements throughout the hire period.
