Three Benefits of Professional Plant Hire

P.R Weldhen • Apr 21, 2020

If you work in the building or construction industry, then you’ll be aware of the many different types of tools and machinery that are needed for different projects. While most companies will have their own extensive range of basic equipment, there will be times when a larger project will require bigger, heavy-duty machinery.

The term ‘plant’ refers to large types of machinery such as diggers, dumpers, loaders, excavators and ride on rollers. While some businesses may have invested in their own plant machinery, for some companies it simply doesn’t make sense to spend a lot of money on rarely-used equipment. This is where plant hire comes in, and there are many benefits to be gained from choosing professional equipment hire over buying your own. If you’ve got a large project coming up and want to know why it makes sense to hire equipment, read on for just a few of the benefits.

It’s cost effective

One of the most common reasons to hire equipment instead of buying it outright is the amount of money that it can save you and your business. Buying plant equipment can be very expensive, especially if you’re not sure how much use you’ll get out of the machinery in the future. Hiring means that you only pay for the equipment as and when you need it, and it also saves you money on extra expenses like maintenance and insurance.

Higher quality equipment

Budget restrictions might mean that the only machinery you can afford to buy outright is second hand, but with hiring services you can be sure that all equipment is in excellent condition. Hire machinery is regularly quality checked and you’ll often receive the latest up to date models.

No need for storage

Plant machinery can take up a lot of space and you may simply not have room to permanently store lots of equipment on site. Plant machinery is also unfortunately prone to theft, giving you the added worry of finding somewhere safe and secure to keep the machines. Hiring removes both of these issues, as the equipment can be dropped off when you need and collected again at the end of the day.
