Operated Plant Hire in Bracknell, Hounslow & the Wider South East | Legion Plant Groundworks & Drainage Contractors
There are numerous advantages that operated plant hire offers over traditional plant hire, where you’re left to find someone with the proper training to do so, or else operate it yourself. First and foremost, operated plant hire ensures that the machinery you require is used safely, and doesn’t endanger persons on site or cause damage to property. This is one of the most commonly cited reasons our clients in Bracknell, Guildford, Hounslow, Kingston and the wider South East choose this option.
Secondly you ensure that the work at hand is carried out to a high standard, and within a decent timeframe. This ultimately saves you on labour costs, and ensures the project is a worthwhile investment. Another benefit is you have someone at hand who can help deal with any issues that arise during the project, due to their operational experience. In short, you reduce risks and give stakeholders true peace of mind.
Plant Hire Options
Excavators – An absolute essential for an array of projects, excavators feature a long bucket arm which is joined with a pivoting cab that has a 360 degree range of motion. They make quick work of excavations, digging up dirt and heavy objects with ease. This operated plant hire option is ideal for digging trenches, moving large and cumbersome objects, demolition projects and many landscaping tasks. It’s a cost effective means of speeding up projects, potentially saving you massive amounts of time and labour.
Loaders – There are a few varieties of loader, with the most common being backhoe loaders, crawler loaders and skid-steer loaders. The backhoe loader is much like a tractor, and is ideal for digging and manuvering materials around a smaller site. Clients in and around our core service areas of Bracknell, Guildford, Hounslow and Kingston use this form of operated plant hire to assist with projects that require digging into the ground and scooping up debris. Even smaller sites with less room to move can make use of skid-steer loaders, which are smaller and light weight. The key difference that crawler loaders feature is that they’re track mounted. This gives them a degree of versatility, allowing them to operate on wet or icy ground, as the ground pressure they put out is comparatively low.
Bulldozers – Best known for being a workhorse that can enable demolition works and ensure you can quickly and easily move large quantities of debris across open tracts of land, these machines feature a blade and ripper. The former is positioned at the front of the bulldozer, the latter at the back. The ripper breaks up earth, stone and debris so the blade can more easily move it around. Bulldozers are the ideal operated plant hire solution for site clearances, and can work on the toughest of terrain due to their excellent grip, typically being track mounted.
Trenchers – The clue’s in the name with this plant being used to dig trenches. They have a large, heavy duty metal chain that isn’t too dissimilar to an oversized chainsaw, which is used to cut into the ground and rip up all that’s beneath it. We regularly employ trenchers for drainage installations around Bracknell, Guildford, Hounslow and Kingston, as they save huge amounts of time next to digging trenches by hand. For this same reason it can save on the labour costs attached to infrastructural projects.
