In the dynamic world of construction, the right equipment can make all the difference in the efficiency and success of a project. Not to mention keeping costs down if you’re choosing the versatile construction equipment. For construction companies looking to optimise their projects, hiring the right machinery is a strategic move. Take a look at our top 5 essential types of construction equipment that every company should consider hiring. From excavators to tractors, each of these machines plays a crucial role in the construction process, offering unique advantages to enhance productivity on the job site.
Excavators
Excavators, often hailed as the backbone of construction sites, are versatile machines designed for many tasks crucial to the building process. Ranging in size from compact mini diggers to heavy-duty long reach excavators, these powerful pieces of equipment are used for tasks such as digging trenches, foundations, and holes, as well as handling materials such as debris and rocks.
The benefits of hiring a digger on a construction site are multifaceted. Precision in excavation tasks is a standout advantage, allowing for accurate and efficient digging while minimising disruption to the surrounding environment. Versatility is another key asset, as excavators can be equipped with various attachments to perform tasks beyond standard digging, such as grading, lifting, and demolishing structures. Their adaptability makes them an invaluable asset in construction, helping to streamline workflows and enhance overall project efficiency.

Telehandlers
Telehandlers, also known as telescopic handlers, are indispensable types of construction equipment to have on sites, combining the functionalities of a forklift and a crane. These versatile machines are equipped with a telescoping boom, allowing them to extend and lift loads to varying heights. Telehandlers find extensive use in material handling tasks, such as lifting and placing construction materials, pallets, and equipment. With their ability to reach over obstacles and access difficult-to-reach areas, telehandlers contribute to the efficiency and flexibility of construction projects.
The benefits of having telehandlers on a construction site are multifaceted. Their adaptability makes them valuable across different phases of a project. Telehandlers can be used for:
- Loading and unloading materials
- Reaching high elevations for tasks such as placing roof trusses
- Installing structural components
Hire a Telehandler
The versatility of telehandlers is further enhanced by their compatibility with various attachments, including buckets, forks, and lifting hooks, allowing them to tackle a wide range of applications. This versatility translates to increased productivity and streamlined operations on the construction site.
H. E. Services offer a range of telehandlers available for hire. Our fleet encompasses machines with lifting capacities ranging from 4 metres to an impressive 20 metres. All of which are from reputable manufacturers including JCB and Manitou.
Dumpers
Dumper trucks are designed to transport and unload bulk materials efficiently. These versatile machines come in various sizes and configurations. Their primary function is the transportation of materials such as soil, gravel, and debris within construction sites. Dumper trucks are particularly invaluable for tasks that involve the relocation of large quantities of materials from one part of the site to another.
The benefits of having dumper trucks on a construction site are significant. Firstly, they streamline the material handling process, enabling the quick and efficient transport of heavy loads. This enhances overall project efficiency by minimising manual labour and reducing the time required to move materials across the site. The versatility of dumper trucks, especially those with swivel skip capabilities, allows for precise unloading in specific locations, contributing to a more organised and orderly construction site.
Hire a Dumper
For anyone looking to harness the advantages of dumper trucks without the long-term commitment of buying one, H. E. Services (Plant Hire) Ltd provides an extensive range of Thwaites, Yanmar and Hydrema dumper trucks available for hire. Our fleet includes options ranging from nimble 1 tonne dumpers to robust 10 tonne dumpers, accommodating projects of varying scales. Additionally, the availability of tracked and swivel skip dumpers adds another layer of flexibility, ensuring that whatever the terrain or project, our dumper trucks can assist!
Rollers
Construction rollers are specifically designed for the crucial task of compacting various materials, including soil, asphalt, and aggregates. These rollers play a pivotal role in achieving a smooth and stable surface for roads, pavements, and other construction areas. Their primary function is to apply pressure to the material beneath them, reducing air voids and ensuring proper compaction.
The benefits of having construction rollers on a construction site are extensive. Firstly, they contribute to the durability and stability of constructed surfaces by creating a tightly compacted foundation. This is crucial for preventing settlement issues and ensuring the longevity of infrastructure. Construction rollers also enhance safety by providing a smooth and even surface for vehicles and pedestrians.

Construction rollers are available to hire in a variety of widths, ranging from 800mm to 1350mm, allowing them to cater to different project requirements. Additionally, specialised rollers such as the Bomag trench roller serve specific needs in trench compaction. View the full range of rollers for hire here.
Tractors
Tractors are used for a variety of purposes that extend beyond traditional agricultural applications. On construction sites, tractors, such as the John Deere models available for hire from H. E. Services (Plant Hire) Ltd, are often employed for tasks such as grading, trenching, and material handling.
Their robust design and powerful engines make them indispensable for moving earth, levelling surfaces, and transporting heavy loads across the site. Tractors equipped with specialised attachments can further enhance their adaptability, allowing them to tackle a wide range of construction tasks efficiently.
