To celebrate this fact we are delivering all hire equipment Free Of Charge throughout September. Collection will still be charged as standard.

During our first three years in Basil Hill Road we have made numerous improvements to the site as well as to the hire fleet.

The extra space we now have has allowed us to branch out and offer a greater variety of equipment. New additions to the hire fleet include 5 and 6-Tonne Dumpers, Temporary Fencing and 5-Tonne Excavators.

We have also been able to increase numbers throughout the hire fleet to be in our current position where we have never offered such a large and diverse range.

Stay Cool When Temperatures Soar

Photos of Fans and Mini ExcavatorSoaring temperatures are lovely as long as you are not stuck in a hot office, stifling workshop or stuffy digger cab. So why suffer when there is something you can do about it?

The portable air conditioning units come with window discharge kits and can be set up for cooling within minutes.

The powerful ‘Rhino’ Fans are ideal for cooling in a multitude of locations including factories and workshops.

The Volvo EC55 5-Tonne Mini Excavator has a fully air conditioned cab making it a joy to operate whatever the weather.

So, suffer no longer!

More New Kit!

We have been investing in the hire fleet again this month and have added a new dumper and two new excavators.

The dumper is the new Thwaites 1-Tonne capacity Hi-Tip with hydrostatic drive. This dumper is designed for skip loading and is just 1115mm wide for sites with tight access. The high tipping skip has a variable discharge height up to 1.6m.

The two new excavators are an EC30 3-Tonne and an EC55 5-Tonne both manufactured by Volvo.

The EC30 is a new model to the fleet and offer all the usual neat design features and performance characteristics you’ve come to expect from Volvo machines.

The EC55 joins our 5-Tonne fleet to meet the demand for this increasingly popular size of machine.
