How long can I hire a tool for?

The average hire period is usually between one and two weeks, depending on the requirements of your job.

How much does it cost to hire a tool?

The cost of hiring a tool depends on the type and size of tool, as well as the length of time you need it for. Generally speaking, smaller tools such as drills or saws can be hired for around £27/day while larger tools such as Genie lifts start at around £100/day.

What happens if the tool breaks or malfunctions during my rental period?

If the tool malfunctions or breaks during your hire period, we will replace the tool as soon as possible. Please don't try to repair broken equipment as we have trained technicians for maintenance and repair work.

Questions about Plant Hire

Q. What types of plant machinery are available for hire?

We have a wide range of plant machinery available for hire, including diggers, dumpers, scissor lifts and road rollers.

Q. How long can I rent plant machinery for?

The length of your hire period will depend on the size and complexity of your project. We offer hire periods ranging from a few days up to several weeks or months, depending on your needs.

Q. Can I operate the machinery myself or do I need to hire an operator?

Most small to medium-sized plant machinery can be operated by yourself, however larger and more complex machinery such as excavators or cranes will need an experienced operator. We offer both self-operate and operator-operated hire packages for all of our equipment.
