How to Choose a Contract Plant Hire Service

When it comes to choosing a plant hire service for your company needs and upcoming projects there are various considerations to make. You must always think about the budget that you have to work with, the types of site location and any challenges or restrictions present in those sites, as well as the tasks and number of operators. This will all help to paint a clear picture of what type of machinery and equipment that you will need to perform tasks to a high standard, for operators to remain safe on site at all times, and for you to complete your projects on time and within budget.

A big part of any project, whether in construction, engineering, a renewable energy project, or highway construction and maintenance, to name just a few sectors and project types, is the equipment you have at hand. A long-term relationship with a plant hire contract service, such as the service that Ardent Hire offers clients, makes sense within any industry.

Factors when choosing a plant hire company

Here are a few good reasons why you should consider a plant hire service for your company and project needs, helping you to see what makes a good plant hire company.

A range of options

The best thing that we do is to continuously look to upgrade and improve our fleet. This means a wider range of options for our customers, and the latest models to ensure a higher standard and constant improvement of our service.

Environmentally-friendly

By choosing to upgrade our fleet at regular intervals, the plant hire options open to our clients includes machinery that meets the latest, strictest emissions standards. This helps to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of each project your company works on.

Helpful delivery schedule

We work with you to ensure that the correct plant hire is delivered to your site at the date and time that suits your project the most. This means there is less chance of machinery sitting idle on site, waiting to be used, and keeps projects running as smoothly as possible.

Improved safety on site

With the latest models of machinery and equipment, you’ll automatically have the safest models available to you. This is down to the fact that with every new model of a machine, the design and manufacture has been tweaked to improve parts and components, improve processes and ensure that actions are as safe as they can be.

Fewer instances of downtime

By working alongside a reputable plant hire service and bearing in mind the different factors that have already been mentioned above, you’ll experience fewer instances of downtime on site. This is due to the fact that every piece of equipment and machinery that we lease out to our clients will go through a thorough maintenance and repair check between hires, ensuring that you are less likely to suffer from breakdowns and downtime on site. If there is a breakdown on site, we’ll provide a replacement for you as soon as possible to ensure that the impact on your schedule is minimised.

Flexibility

Flexibility is key in many industries. With the support of a good plant hire service you can shift towards the use of a different piece of equipment or machinery when the need arises, in a much faster and more efficient way than if you just owned your own plant machinery.
