Frequently asked
- What counts as a new machine?
- Rent-to-own applies to new, unused machines supplied through IronYard and AAC. Used stock is offered on standard rental terms.
- What happens at the end of the term?
- Ownership transfer at the end of the term is governed by the signed agreement, which sets out the final settlement position before the machine transfers to you.
- Can I rent first and convert later?
- Yes — many contractors start on standard hire while utilisation is proven and then move onto a rent-to-own structure on a new machine. Subject to approval. T&Cs apply.
- What documents are needed?
- Company registration and director details, recent bank statements, financials or management accounts, and details of the contract or site the machine will work on.
- Which areas are served?
- Cape Town, Johannesburg and Mpumalanga are the primary campaign metros. Machines are placed elsewhere in South Africa on enquiry.
- What if my contract ends early?
- Talk to us before the contract ends. Options depend on the agreement in place and the remaining term — the position is confirmed in writing, subject to approval.
