Flat hire rate. Delivery priced by distance.

AVAILABLE NOW

Collect and return the dolly from our Manchester base and pay only the hire rate.

All rates ex VAT. Delivery is charged on top of the hire rate — see below for how it is worked out.

Delivery

55p a road mile from Manchester

The hire rate stays the same nationally. Delivery is charged by the road mile from our Manchester base, at 55p a mile for each trip, so it follows the real cost of getting a heavy, awkward item to site and back.

Drop-off and collection

£2.20 a mile

Four trips: there and back to drop the dolly off, and again to collect it, priced on the one-way distance. Used for every hire longer than a day.

Driver stays

£1.10 a mile + £60

On a one-day hire the driver can wait on site, help with the install and bring the dolly back the same day. We price both ways and charge whichever is cheaper.

Minimum charge

£55

Delivery is rounded up to the next £5 and is never less than £55, which covers most of Greater Manchester. Tolls are added at cost.

All prices ex VAT, before any tolls. A one-day hire is charged the cheaper of drop-off and collection or the driver staying on site; longer hires are drop-off and collection.

Add-ons

Bring a pair of hands with it

Our trained technician will give you a hand from clamshell to cleats making your installation as smooth as possible.

Delivery + man

+£35

A pair of hands comes with the dolly to get it to the wall and into position, £35 per hire on top of the delivery price, and free on your first hire with us. Handy for solo installs and short-staffed days.

Delivery + electrician

POA

A Tesla-certified electrician comes with the dolly and stays for the install itself, not just the equipment handling. Booked in advance, subject to availability.

Against buying, and against making do

Buying outright runs £2,500–£2,833 including VAT, so whether hire is the cheaper option comes down to how often you fit Powerwalls and how far the jobs are from Manchester. The hire-vs-buy calculator works out your break-even, and our guide to the Tesla Powerwall dolly walks through it job by job.
