Four reasons why you should hire manhole forms instead of buying them

As anyone in the civil works or construction industry will tell you, manholes are extremely important for a variety of reasons. If you've taken a walk in Sydney or Brisbane or up to Sunshine Coast, you've most likely seen a manhole cover in the street.

They're often constructed using manhole forms, which allow you to construct and form manholes for access chambers for sewer access, inspection chambers, and maintenance holes onsite instead of trucking in preformed units.

There are more than just a few reasons why you should hire rather than buy when it comes to manhole forms. To help out, we’ve compiled a quick list of common myths, tips, and questions to demonstrate why you’re better off hiring manhole forms than purchasing them. The more you know, the more money you can save.

1. Purchasing can be restrictive

Considering the vast differences in manhole forms across Australia (with over 200 types of forms), buying will generally limit you to projects in the same jurisdiction, as type preference typically varies per location or council area, like between Brisbane and Sydney, so you’d likely need to purchase a different manhole form for a project in a different region.

With 10 standard size access chambers across various councils and authorities, along with about 20 different wall thickness options, there are 30 sizes of structures any contractor could possibly tender for. Manhole Form Hire have all types and sizes.
2. Hiring allows more variety to meet unique specs

It’s likely that you’ll come across projects that require slightly different specifications to what you normally deal with and that’s okay if you have a versatile stock list of manhole forms, but if you don’t, it can mean additional costs to purchase a form you might only use once. The greatest benefit to hiring is that you don’t need to worry about whether you have the right forms, you don’t need to worry about losing out on a contract or need to find space to store seldom used forms.

A common situation faced nowadays is when the structure needs to be built is deeper than your form, and if you don’t have a deep enough form or if they don’t stack, this can be problematic and might force you to delay work. If you hire, you can easily get the right form or stacked forms for a single-use price, saving you money long-term.
