Disclaimer

General information

All content on Cab & Cargo (cabandcargo.com), including articles, rate tables, cost breakdowns, buying guides, comparisons and maintenance information, is published by KCS Global Group for general information and educational purposes only.

Our team researches and analyses every article before it is published, as described in our Editorial Policy. Even so, general information cannot account for every machine, job site or local market, so please use our content as a starting point for your own decisions.

Rates and cost estimates

Hourly rates, daily and weekly rental rates, operating costs, purchase prices and other figures on our website are researched estimates based on information available at the time of publishing or last update. They are not quotes, price offers or guaranteed amounts.

What can change a rate

How to use our figures

Unless an article says otherwise, figures are shown in the currency stated in that article. Before you set your own rates, sign a contract, submit a bid or buy equipment, confirm current prices with local rental companies, dealers, contractors or your accountant. A good starting point is our guide to equipment rates per hour by machine.

No professional advice

Our content is not professional advice of any kind, including financial, tax, accounting, legal, insurance, engineering, mechanical or agronomic advice. Reading our website does not create a professional or advisory relationship between you and KCS Global Group.

For decisions involving significant money, legal obligations or technical risk, speak to a qualified professional who knows your situation, such as an accountant, lawyer, equipment dealer, certified mechanic or agricultural adviser.

Safety

Always read and follow the operator’s manual for your specific machine, use required personal protective equipment, and follow your local workplace safety authority’s rules. In the United States, for example, this includes standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Never operate, repair or modify a machine you are not trained and authorised to use.

We are not responsible for any injury, death, property damage or equipment damage resulting from the operation, maintenance, repair or modification of machinery, whether or not you used information from our website.

Equipment specifications

Specifications such as operating weight, horsepower, dig depth, lift capacity, fuel use and service intervals can vary by model year, market, configuration and attachments. Manufacturers also change specifications without notice. Always confirm specifications with the manufacturer or an authorised dealer before buying, hiring or operating a machine.

Laws, licences and permits

Rules for operator licensing, equipment registration, road transport of heavy machinery, emissions, insurance, taxes and business permits differ by country, state and local area, and they change over time. Any mention of rules on our website is general information. Check the current requirements with the relevant authority in your area before acting.

Accuracy and updates

We work hard to keep our content accurate and up to date, and we revisit our guides as prices and conditions change. However, we cannot guarantee that every figure or detail is complete, correct or current at the moment you read it. Where an article shows a “last updated” date, the information reflects our research as of that date.

If you spot something that is wrong or out of date, please email contact@cabandcargo.com. We review every report, as explained in our Corrections Policy.

Brands and trademarks

Manufacturer names, model names, logos and trademarks mentioned on Cab & Cargo belong to their respective owners. We use them only to identify products. Their mention does not mean that any manufacturer, dealer or rental company sponsors, endorses or is affiliated with Cab & Cargo, unless we clearly say so.

External links

Our articles link to external websites, such as manufacturers, dealers, industry associations and government sources, to help you find more information. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, products or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Advertising and affiliate links

Cab & Cargo may show advertisements, including ads served by Google AdSense. Ads are selected by the ad provider, not by our team, and appearing on our website does not mean we endorse the advertiser or its products.

Some articles may contain affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. Advertising and affiliate relationships never decide what we write, recommend or how we rank products. See our Affiliate Disclosure and Privacy Policy for details.

Limitation of liability

You use our website and rely on its content at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, KCS Global Group, its team members and partners are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, information on Cab & Cargo. This includes financial losses from pricing, bidding, hiring, buying or selling decisions, and any injury or damage related to machinery.

Nothing in this disclaimer limits liability that cannot be limited by law. Full terms are set out in our Terms of Use.
