FAQs

Plant hire questions

If you are not certified to operate plant, we can supply a qualified CPCS operator with any machine in our fleet. Safety comes first, so machinery is only ever handled by someone trained to use it. You can hire an operator directly from us when you book, or arrange your own independently.

If you have a project manager, they should already know the equipment required. If you are organising the job yourself or working on a personal project, contact us for a free consultation. Tell us about the site and the task and we will recommend the right machine, attachments and access route.

As long as you need. We agree costs and hire terms during your consultation and give you an estimated period and quote up front. If the job runs on, extensions are arranged with a quick call so you have enough time to finish.

Over 120 machines in the yard, from micro diggers to large tracked excavators, plus a full range of small tools and equipment.

Yes, both our Truro and Launceston depots hire from the same fleet, so whichever is closer to your site, you have access to the full range.

Yes. We are Constructionline Gold accredited and SSIP assessed, which qualifies us to supply plant hire on public-sector and larger commercial projects.
