Who this template is for

Site Equipment Rental is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in construction.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 26 questions across 2 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 19 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a full postal address.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

Questions about this shared form

How is this different from an equipment rental booking?

That one is a customer booking with a hire company, priced and public. This is an internal site requisition: job number, cost code, phase, access and off-hire discipline.

Does it give a hire price?

No. Rates depend on your supplier agreements, so the coordinator confirms the rate when the hire is placed.

Can subcontractors use it?

Yes, if they hire through you. The cost code and approval fields make clear whose budget the plant lands on.

What about breakdowns?

Report those through your breakdown form and note the downtime in the daily site report, so lost hours are recorded against the job.

Is the Site Equipment Rental template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Site Equipment Rental on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Site Equipment Rental template ask for?

It asks 26 questions across 2 pages, 19 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Site Equipment Rental form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic layout, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

Where do responses to the Site Equipment Rental form go?

Can I embed the Site Equipment Rental form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Can respondents upload files?

Yes. This template includes a file upload question, so respondents can attach documents or photos with their answers. You can adjust the accepted file types and size limits on that question.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
