Finding a reliable company is obviously important, so you get what you need when you need it, and your timelines don’t get interfered with.

So, what should you look for when choosing a heavy plant hire company?

Here are 5 things to bear in mind the next time you need plant…

Experience

It stands to reason that a long-established company will have the knowledge and experience to look after your needs properly.

After all, they must be doing something right if they’ve been in business for so long.

Choice

Do they have a lot of choice when it comes to the plant on offer?

Diggers for example, is there a large selection to choose from? Do they have the right one for your requirements? Find a company large enough to make sure you get the kit you need.

Customer Service

Are the staff friendly, knowledgeable, helpful?

Will they go out of their way to help? Is there a speedy response service in the event of something going wrong? You could ask to see testimonials, or look at online reviews from happy customers.

New Equipment

Is the plant on offer new?

Are the latest models available to hire? One of the best things about hiring plant instead of buying, is that you get the latest, most updated and modern equipment – if you choose the right hire company of course.

Accreditations

Is the company serious about their business?

If so, they’ll have industry accreditations and be affiliated with leading industry organisations to ensure compliance with Health and Safety, as well as any other industry legislation.
