Mini digger hire software for small operators
Opeux Hire is built for small mini digger hire firms running 0.8t, 1.5t, 2.7t and 3t excavators with breaker, auger and bucket attachments. Quote a weekend hire from a phone, take a deposit, send an e-signed agreement and bill weekly without ever opening a spreadsheet.
The problem
Mini digger hires are mostly short notice — weekend DIY jobs, small landscapers, one-off site clears. Quoting, deposits and weekend collection chasing eats your Friday and Sunday evening.
How Opeux helps
Opeux Hire turns the enquiry into a quote, the quote into an e-signed agreement with deposit, and the return into a clean off-hire with damage capture — all from a phone.

Why small hire firms choose Opeux
We aren't an enterprise rental platform. We're the hire system small operators actually use day to day.
Designed for owner-run and small-team hire firms (typically under 25 staff), not enterprise rental departments.
Import a catalogue CSV and start booking the same day. No implementation project, no consultant fees.
Quote and invoice in GBP, EUR, USD and more — no enterprise upgrade required.
Every hire, contract, invoice and asset exports cleanly to CSV or PDF whenever you need it.
Built in the UK for UK and European hire firms — sterling pricing, EU VAT-aware invoicing.
Hire sits alongside Quotes, Invoices, Assets and Suppliers in one login. No bolt-on subscriptions.
