Reliable Plant Hire for Every Project Plant & Equipment Specialists

Question 1

Answer

Plant hire is usually priced per day, per week, or on a longer-term rate, and the cost depends on the size and type of machine, how long you need it, whether you want it operated or self-drive, and how far it has to be delivered. A 1-tonne mini digger sits at a very different rate to a 14-tonne excavator or a telehandler. Every hire is different, so we give a clear, itemised quote before anything leaves the yard — no obligation and no surprises.

Question 2

Answer

Yes. We deliver plant and equipment direct to your site and collect it again when you're finished, across Telford, Shrewsbury, and the surrounding areas. Delivery and collection are arranged as part of your hire, so you don't need a trailer or the right licence to move heavy machines yourself. We'll confirm access requirements and timings when you book.

Question 3

Answer

Both options are available on most machines. If you hold the right tickets and competence for the equipment, you can self-drive. If you'd rather have an experienced operator who knows the machine and the job, we can arrange operated hire instead. For larger or more specialised plant, an operator is often the safer and quicker choice — we'll advise on what suits your project.

Question 4

Answer

For self-drive hire you'll need the relevant competence or ticket for the machine you're operating — for example a CPCS or NPORS card for excavators and telehandlers. If you don't hold the right qualifications, operated hire means a trained operator runs the machine for you. We'll always check this with you before the hire so the right arrangement is in place and the work stays safe and insured.

Question 5

Answer

Anything from a single day to several months. We offer daily, weekly, and long-term rates, and the longer the hire, the better the effective rate usually works out. If you're not sure how long a job will take, talk to us — we can advise on a sensible hire period and extend it easily if the project runs on.

Question 6

Answer

Yes. All our plant is regularly serviced, inspected, and maintained to keep it reliable and safe on site. Machines are checked before they go out, and lifting equipment is thoroughly examined in line with LOLER requirements where it applies. If anything develops a fault during your hire, let us know and we'll sort it out quickly.

Question 7

Answer

It depends on the work and the access. Tight garden access often calls for a 1 to 1.5-tonne micro digger that fits through a standard gateway, while foundations, drainage, or larger groundworks may need a 3-tonne or bigger machine. If you're unsure, describe the job and the access to us and we'll recommend the right size — getting this right saves you time and money on site.

Question 8

Answer

We provide plant and equipment hire across Shropshire and the West Midlands, including Telford, Shrewsbury, Newport, Bridgnorth, Market Drayton, Wellington, Wolverhampton, Stafford, Oswestry, and Whitchurch. Not sure if you're in our delivery area? Give us a call — we cover most of Shropshire and the surrounding counties. See our areas we cover.

Question 9

Answer

Yes. We carry full public liability and plant insurance, and our equipment is maintained to keep you covered while it's on your site. For self-drive hire you'll be responsible for safe operation, so it's worth checking your own site or contract insurance too — we're happy to talk through what's covered before you book.

Question 10

Answer

Get in touch with a few details about your project — the type of work, the access on site, and roughly how long you'll need the equipment — and we'll provide a free, no-obligation quote with clear pricing. Contact us here or give us a call, and we'll recommend the right machine and get it booked in.
