We take 8%.
That's it.
No subscriptions. No listing fees. No monthly costs. No surprises at checkout. Idler only earns when your machine earns.
A different model, not a replacement.
The big hire yards do what they do well. Idler isn't trying to replace them — it's a different option for owners and renters whose needs sit between the corporate yard and a private classifieds ad.
Big fleets, full backup, formal accounts, delivery networks. The right call for major civil work, site contracts and corporate hire arrangements.
Owners with idle iron earning 92% on what would otherwise sit. Renters paying owner-set rates — often less than corporate hire — with hand-vetted listings and optional GroundSpec inspection for confidence. Stripe escrow coming soon.
Free to list, but no payment protection, no bond handling, no inspection option. You're on your own if anything goes sideways.
Separate from the 8%.
A GroundSpec inspection is optional. It earns the GS badgeon your listing — the trust signal renters look for.
Inspections are billed directly by GroundSpec Contracting (Austin's diesel mechanic Pty Ltd). Base fee + travel for yards outside SE-QLD. Pricing confirmed on request.
