Equipment hire: say what exactly you’re looking for

Equipment hire in Singapore

Updated 4 November 2026

Equipment hire in Singapore usually costs from about S$340 a day for a boom lift, while a mini excavator is around S$1,700 to S$2,200 a month. Event furniture and décor packages start at about S$300. For a price on the exact machine and dates, send a request on BlaBlaPrice, and local firms will reply in the chat with their own offers.

Licences and what the firm should confirm

Licence fees in Singapore vary widely by activity and by the agency that issues them, so the rate on your quote may depend on what the equipment is used for. Ask the hire firm in writing which licences apply to the machine and to the work it will do on your site. If you hire tents or stages for an event, ask the firm what permits the event needs before you book.

Rain and humidity in the wet season

Singapore is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season, so outdoor jobs and events can be disrupted by rain. Allow a spare day in a boom lift or excavator booking, and ask whether the rate changes if work has to pause. In a humid climate, dehumidifiers are usually more useful than heaters, so check that option too.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Longer hire brings the daily cost down. A boom lift typically costs S$340 to S$1,200 a day, S$1,100 to S$4,400 a week or S$2,900 to S$11,500 a month. Work out how many days you really need before you ask for a quote. Delivery and pickup are not always part of the price, so ask whether transport to your site in Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio is included.

What to put in your request

Name the equipment, such as a generator, scaffolding or a mini excavator, and the start and end dates. Give the site location in Singapore and whether there is power on site. Say whether you need an operator or only the equipment. For events, list how many guests you expect and the size of the space in square metres, so the firm can recommend the right amount of furniture and canopy.

BlaBlaPrice sends your request to registered sellers, who reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. To compare more options, see generator hire, event supplies hire or the whole rentals and hire section.
