Plant hire range

We boast of a plant hire operation that continues to grow, with a focus on versatility and reliability. We’ve invested £13.5million into our fleet over the last three years and will spend a further £4.2million in 2020. This is to ensure that our customers continue to have access to market-leading brands such as CAT, Hyundai, Takeuchi and Yanmar excavators, JCB, Terex and Thwaites dumpers, Ammann and Hamm rollers and Merlo, JCB and Manitou Telehandlers.

Plant hire service

We value our exceptional customer service for our customers. As our business is built on plant hire and equipment knowledge and experience acquired over decades, we used that to create a bespoke tablet-based hire, making it quick and simple to hire from us. Whether it’s by fitting in an order last minute or adding QR codes to all of our equipment to minimise paperwork on-site and offer easy access to information, we always find ways to go the extra mile to make our customers lives as easy as possible. And, you’ll always get a friendly and welcoming response from our team.

Across our plant equipment hire branches, we are committed to Quality, Health, Safety and Environment and are one of the few companies in the UK to hold recognised standards in all of these areas. Find out more about our accreditations and memberships here.

Our plant hire team

From our plant hire desk to our drivers, a friendly and helpful team member is always available to assist you with whatever you need. We invest in our employees heavily and always ensure that our staff are trained to the highest industry standards.

We’re proud to say we have FORS Silver accreditation. To achieve this, our drivers must demonstrate continuous personal development. They can deliver plant to all manner of sites, including those that are less accessible, because of our range of delivery vehicles and our investment in the fleet.

Plant hire technology

In addition to our QR code and tablet-based hire system, we have partnered with Sure-Track to install vehicle monitoring technology across our fleet. We are pleased to be using Sure-Track technology to build on our reputation for exceptional service in plant machinery rental.

Safety and security are as important to us as they are to our valued customers. Our partnership with Sure-Track will ensure that we have live, real-time information on the location and use of our hired machines, prevent unauthorised use and enable our teams to schedule maintenance to keep downtime to a minimum.
