Arrange collection
Off-hire and physical collection are separate steps. Keep the equipment secure and accessible until it has been collected.
Plan your delivery
Transport is quoted separately
Transport is quoted separately. The cost depends on the machine, the number of machines being moved, whether multiple machines can travel on the same load, the distance from the supplying depot and the transport required.
Allow time to arrange your machine
Next-day delivery may sometimes be possible, but Plant and Powered Access normally need around 2–3 days’ notice. Lead time depends on the machine required, available stock, the distance from a suitable supplying depot, transport availability and depot workload.
This is planning guidance, not a guaranteed delivery window. Give us as much notice as you can.
Your requested delivery date
Tell us when you need the machine and we’ll confirm the delivery arrangements. We arrange supply and transport around your requested date, but machine and transport availability must be confirmed.
Delivery day and arrival times
The supplying depot plans its transport and routes, so an exact delivery time cannot always be guaranteed. Contact us on the day and we can try to obtain an ETA for you.
Tell us about any access or time restrictions in advance so they can be considered when planning the delivery.
Prepare for delivery
Tell us about site access
Let us know about narrow roads, restricted entrances, gates, low bridges or other height restrictions, and poor or unsuitable access. Include any parking or loading restrictions.
Transport varies with the machine’s size and type and may involve specialist vehicles. Check the whole delivery route rather than just the machine’s dimensions.
Keep the unloading area ready
Tell us about soft ground, slopes or anything else that may affect unloading. Make sure there is suitable access and space for the delivery vehicle and machine.
Keep the area clear and give us a site contact who can help the driver find the right place.
During your hire
Fuel
Fuelled machines are supplied with a full tank. We recommend refilling them before collection. If a fuelled machine is returned without a full tank, the supplying depot will charge for the fuel needed to refill it.
Extending your hire
You can keep the equipment on hire for as long as you need. Contact us before the current hire period ends and we’ll add the extension and take payment for the additional hire.
Extensions are paid for as they are added, rather than waiting until the end of the overall hire.
Off-hire & collection
When will it be collected?
We arrange collection transport with the supplying depot. Same-day collection should not be expected, and collection may take a few days depending on depot and transport workload.
Keep the machine secure and accessible until it has physically been collected. It remains your responsibility until then.
Preparing for collection
Leave the machine accessible and keep the route clear for the collection vehicle. Remove your personal tools and materials, and return any supplied attachments or components with the machine.
For fuelled machines, refill the tank before collection where possible.
Quick answers
Can I extend my hire?
Yes — keep the equipment for as long as you need. Contact us before the current hire period ends so we can add the extension and take payment. Extensions are paid for as they are added.
Can you guarantee a delivery time?
An exact time cannot always be guaranteed because the supplying depot plans its transport and routes. Tell us about restrictions in advance, or contact us on the day and we’ll try to get an ETA.
Can the machine be collected the same day I off-hire it?
Same-day collection should not be expected. Transport must be arranged with the supplying depot, and collection may take a few days depending on workload. Keep the machine secure and accessible until collected.
Do I need to refill fuel before collection?
For fuelled equipment, we recommend it. Fuelled machines arrive with a full tank; if returned without one, the supplying depot will charge for the fuel needed to refill it.
