Plant hire businesses rent out machinery and equipment used for construction, groundworks, landscaping, demolition, road maintenance and other site work. Their fleets may include excavators, dumpers, rollers, telehandlers, access platforms, cranes, generators, compressors, pumps and smaller tools. The range varies by supplier, and equipment is generally available for short or longer periods, subject to availability and the requirements of the job. Hire can be supplied without an operator, known as dry hire, or with a trained operator, often called wet hire. Services may include delivery and collection, advice on choosing suitable machinery, and arrangements for routine maintenance or replacement equipment if a machine develops a fault. Customers are usually responsible for checking that the equipment is appropriate for the site, that operators have the necessary competence, and that safe working arrangements are in place.
