Choosing plant & machinery

Check site access, ground conditions and transport arrangements. Use the listed dimensions and operator requirements to assess suitability; ask the team about any specification that is not supplied.

Typical jobs

Plant and machinery is usually hired for digging, trenching, levelling, moving material and preparing ground before building or landscaping work. Compact excavators suit foundations, drainage runs and garden projects. Larger machines move more material in a day but need more room, firmer ground and a bigger transport arrangement. Work out the depth, width and volume of the job first, then choose the smallest machine that can do it comfortably.

How to choose

Use the specifications on each equipment page: operating weight, minimum width, digging depth and fuel type. Compare operating weight with the ground you will work on and the way the machine will be moved. Compare minimum width with the narrowest gate or passage on its route. Check digging depth and reach against the deepest or furthest point you need. If a figure you need is not listed, ask the team before you book rather than assuming.

Before you hire

Plan how the machine will arrive and where it will be positioned. Look for overhead cables, underground services, soft or sloping ground and neighbouring property. Each equipment page lists any operator requirements and whether ID verification or a security deposit applies, so read these before requesting your hire. Wear suitable protective equipment, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ask the team what handover guidance is included if anything is unclear.

Questions to ask before you book

Can the machine reach the work area through the narrowest gate on its route? Which attachments are included with it? Who can operate it, and what ID verification or deposit applies? How will it be delivered or collected, and when? What happens if the job runs longer than planned? If any answer is unclear, ask the team before you request your hire.
