    FAQs

    Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services to help you understand what to expect.

    Can I clamp gear to poles/rails/truss?

    Yes with the correct rated clamps and safe mounting points. Always consider load rating and safety. If unsure, ask us or book a technician.

    Do I need sandbags or safety gear with stands?

    For lighting stands and outdoor setups, sandbags are strongly recommended. We can supply shot bags/sandbags and advise on safe rigging.

    Can lighting be used outdoors?

    Yes, but wind/rain can be a safety risk. Use appropriate stands, sandbags, and weather protection. For outdoor setups we recommend delivery/setup support.

    Are light stands and sandbags included?

    Inclusions depend on the kit. Many lighting hires can be bundled with stands, clamps, and sandbags—just ask when booking.

    Can I bundle multiple items together?

    Absolutely. Bundles are common (e.g., light + stand + sandbags). Tell us what you’re doing and we’ll recommend a suitable kit.

    How do I book a hire item?

    Send an enquiry with the item(s), dates, and location. We’ll confirm availability, pricing, and pickup/delivery details.

    Do you have insurance?

    Yes. We carry appropriate business and equipment insurance. If a venue requires certificates, we can provide them on request.

    Am I responsible for damage or loss during hire?

    Yes. The hirer is responsible for loss, theft, or damage during the hire period. We recommend appropriate insurance for larger hires.

    Is a bond or security deposit required?

    Some items require a refundable bond/security deposit. We’ll confirm the amount (if any) before your hire starts.

    Do I need to provide ID for hire?

    For some hires we may request photo ID (and/or business details) to confirm the booking and protect high‑value equipment.

    Can you set up and pack down the equipment?

    Yes. We can supply an operator/technician for setup, operation, and pack‑down for complex or mission‑critical setups.

    Do you offer delivery?

    Yes. Delivery is available across the Gold Coast and surrounds (Brisbane and further by request). Fees depend on distance and timing.

    What happens if I return equipment late?

    Late returns may incur additional hire charges and can affect other bookings. Please contact us immediately if you’re running late.

    Where do I pick up and return hire equipment?

    Pickup/return details are confirmed at booking. If you need delivery or after‑hours arrangements, let us know.

    Do you provide basic instructions at pickup?

    Yes. We’ll run through setup and operation for the gear you’re hiring and answer any questions before you leave.

    Can I extend my hire if I need it longer?

    Often yes, depending on upcoming bookings. Contact us as early as possible so we can confirm an extension.

    Can I hire for multiple days or longer periods?

    Yes. Multi‑day and longer hires are available. Let us know your dates and we’ll confirm availability and pricing.

    What is included with a standard hire?
