Service

Plant Hire

Plant and machinery from a working contracting fleet, hired with or without an operator for jobs that need the right equipment rather than whatever's already on site.

Capabilities

What this covers.

Provision of specialist plant and machinery.

  • Excavators and wheeled plant
  • Flail and mulching attachments
  • Agricultural and forestry machinery
  • Operated or self-drive hire

Hire from a fleet that's actually used, not sat idle.

This is a working fleet first — the same machinery used on the business's own clearance, agricultural and pipeline contracts is what's available to hire, kept in the condition that day-to-day contracting demands.

  • Machinery drawn from an active contracting fleet, not a hire-only yard.
  • Operators available who know the equipment because they run it on other jobs.
  • Attachments matched to the job rather than to whatever's free that week.
  • Straightforward to scale up if a hire turns into a bigger piece of work.

The right machine for the job in front of you.

Plant hire covers excavators, wheeled machinery, flail and mulching attachments and forestry and agricultural equipment, supplied with or without an operator. Because the same business runs site clearance, agricultural contracting and pipeline reinstatement, the machinery available for hire is equipment that's proven on real contracting work, not just held in a yard.

  • Machinery matched to the ground conditions and access of your site.
  • Operated hire where local knowledge and experience matter.
  • Short-term and longer hire periods, sized to the job.

Where this applies

Site clearance and groundworks

Excavators and wheeled plant matched to the ground conditions and access of the site.

Agricultural contracting

Machinery drawn from the same fleet used on the business's own farming and land contracts.

Pipeline and utility projects

Equipment sized to corridor and working-strip work, operated or self-drive as the job needs.

Estate and land management

Flail, mulching and agricultural attachments for ongoing land and boundary work.

How it runs

From enquiry to machine on site.

Hire is scoped around the job, not just the machine — access, ground conditions and whether an operator is needed all shape what's supplied.

Agricultural machinery working across open farmland.

What the machine needs to do, the site's access and ground conditions, and whether an operator is required.

Cleared land with machinery working in the background.

Equipment and attachments are matched from the fleet to what the job actually needs.

Tractor working across open ground.

Machinery is delivered and, where hired with an operator, working to brief from day one.

Machinery is collected at the end of the hire, or the period extended if the job runs on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can machinery be hired with an operator?

Yes, and it's often the better option — operators know the equipment because they run it on the business's own contracting work, not just on hire jobs.

What if my job turns out to need a bigger machine than I hired?

Because hire is drawn from an active contracting fleet with a range of plant and attachments, scaling up mid-job is usually straightforward to arrange.

Do you hire for short jobs or only longer periods?

Both. Hire is sized to the job, whether that's a few days or an extended period — get in touch with what you need.

Is plant hire the same as your contracting services?

No — plant hire supplies the machinery, with or without an operator, for you to direct the job. If you'd rather the work itself was carried out and managed, that sits under our other contracting services.

Land and vegetation services

Often delivered alongside.

Most sites need more than one of these. Each is planned and resourced by the same team.
