Why contractors choose our small plant hire
Simplicity, uptime and practical support for compact jobs.
Reliable, Maintained Machines to Keep Jobs Moving
Downtime on a small site can be disproportionately expensive. We maintain strict service intervals and pre-rental checklists so items leave our yard in working order. Each machine is inspected for fluids, fasteners, hydraulic integrity and safety guards before dispatch. Consumables such as battery charge, fuel, filters and belts are checked and replaced when needed. For high-utilisation hires we offer mid-hire checks and emergency swap-outs so contractors can continue work without costly stoppages. Our maintenance records are logged per unit, providing traceability and an audit trail to support long-term reliability planning.
Compact Machines for Tight Urban Sites
Not every site can accommodate large plant. We stock compact excavators, micro dumpers and low-profile mixers that are designed for narrow lanes, garden renovations and inner-city accesses. These machines are chosen for low ground pressure, easy transport on small trailers and intuitive controls that reduce the need for specialist operators. Our team can advise on machine selection based on site constraints and expected workloads so you hire a machine that fits your site rather than paying for something oversized.
Transparent Pricing with Practical Options
Quotes include hire duration, per-day or per-week rates, delivery/pickup and clearly listed optional extras such as fuel, operator briefings and insurance. We avoid hidden fees: every quote shows expected charges, deposit terms and conditions for damage or late returns. For regular contractors, bespoke account terms and volume discounts are available, including consolidated invoicing and priority equipment holds during peak periods. Transparent billing helps project managers forecast costs accurately and reduces administrative surprises.
Safety & Compliance Built Into Every Hire
Safety is embedded into our hire process. Each piece of plant comes with a safety pack that includes operational checks, a basic toolbox for adjustments, and an on-site briefing option. We provide PPE rental and guidance for safe operation and, where required, offer operator-led hire packages so less experienced staff can work under supervision. Equipment is supplied with instruction sheets, recorded maintenance history and guidance on site-safe procedures; for larger projects we can supply a written method statement tailored to common tasks to support client risk assessments.
Flexible Durations — From a Few Hours to Weeks
Our booking model supports micro-hires for a few hours up to extended weekly hires. This flexibility helps tradespeople avoid owning rarely used gear while still accessing professional equipment when needed. Weekend hires, overnight pickup slots and staged deliveries are all possible to match trade schedules. Longer hires benefit from reduced daily rates and scheduled mid-hire maintenance if required, ensuring machines remain productive through longer engagements.
Logistics & Last-Mile Delivery Solutions
We coordinate deliveries to minimize disruption: timed windows, crane-offloading for heavy items, and secure placement within site boundaries. For multi-location contractors we operate consolidated drop-offs and collection schedules to reduce travel time and cost. Our drivers are trained in safe handling and can assist with initial setup or orientation on request. This last-mile service removes the burden of complex logistics from site teams and helps maintain tidy, efficient workflows.
