Below is a list of advantages of hiring rather than buying manhole forms:-
No need to store your manhole forms when not in use.
If it is a one-off use, then hiring manhole forms is the best option if that size is available to hire.
Hiring means someone else has the responsibility to deliver manhole forms to your work site.
Single hire cost (e.g. one week only) allows for multiple pours and can be cost-effective if you can setup and pour with minimal wait time.
There can be increased safety due to the hire company having insurance and safety regulations that cover the use and transportation of the forms.
