We’ve got some really exciting news to share with our customers across Cornwall and Devon. At J Keane Plant Hire, we’ve officially opened a brand new depot at Pennygillam Industrial Estate in Launceston!
This is a really proud moment for us and a big step forward for the business. It means we can now offer even better plant hire in Launceston and North Cornwall, with quicker response times, improved availability, and the same friendly, reliable service our customers already know and trust.
Plant Hire in Launceston, Cornwall
Launceston has long been known as the gateway to Cornwall, sitting right on the A30 where so many of us know the feeling of spotting the much-loved “Welcome to Cornwall” sign for the first time as we cross into the county.
For us, it is the perfect location to expand our services. The town sits at the heart of a wide coverage area including Callington, Bude, Holsworthy, Lifton, Tavistock, Okehampton, Liskeard, Tintagel, and even Plymouth, making it an ideal base for supporting construction projects across the region.
Whether you are managing a small domestic job or a large commercial build, our new depot means plant hire in Launceston is now quicker, easier and more accessible than ever before.
Why We Are Expanding to Launceston
For the last 10 years, we have proudly operated from our base near Truro, supplying plant hire, operated plant, garden machinery, groundworks equipment and building materials across mid and west Cornwall.
Over time, demand has grown significantly from contractors, builders, and homeowners across North Cornwall and the Devon border. Expanding into Launceston is a natural next step that allows us to better support our loyal customer base while improving service coverage.
Launceston’s location is also a major advantage. Positioned just off the A30, it provides excellent access to key routes across Cornwall and Devon. This makes it a strategic hub for delivering equipment quickly and efficiently to active job sites.
