Contract Hire
The most popular option for getting new equipment is contract hire (long-term rental). By choosing long-term rental, you hire equipment from us at a fixed rate for an agreed term.
For many businesses, contract hire is more cost-effective than buying outright, especially with our free site surveys and BE Finance packages. Our large stock of equipment means you can access the machines you need with the shortest possible lead times and all our long-term hire equipment comes with scheduled servicing. We have manufacturer-approved engineers who will take care of repairs and breakdowns promptly, and our AITT and IPAF accredited courses can provide all necessary operator training, from beginner to advanced. Contract hire can also offer potential tax benefits as businesses can often claim tax deductions on their rental payments, which contributes to overall cost savings.
BE Finance
We finance our contract hire agreements in-house through BE Finance, which means more flexibility for our customers.
Unlike standard third-party providers, we can tailor your payment plan to your specific needs and circumstances. This approach allows you to choose terms that allign with your financial goals. Our convenient invoicing and direct debit options will also ensure seamless transactions. BE Finance sets us apart from other equipment providers and demonstrates our commitment to find the best solution for each individual customer.
Site Surveys
To ensure our customers get the ideal machinery for their specific needs, we offer free and thorough site surveys.
This personalised approach allows us to recommend the most suitable equipment, which will maximise your productivity and efficiency. Whether you need a forklift, access equipment, telehandler or electric tug, our experts will ensure it’s customised to your requirements.
