In today’s construction and infrastructure sectors, efficiency, flexibility and cost control are more important than ever. Whether you’re managing a large-scale development or a small groundwork project, working with a reliable plant hire company can make a world of difference.
At H. E. Services (Plant Hire) Ltd, we’ve spent decades supporting contractors, engineers and site managers across the UK. In this post, we’ll explore the key benefits of choosing a plant hire company, introduce two new machines that are well worth considering, and explain why so many clients return to us time and time again.

Why Work with a Plant Hire Company?
Using a plant hire company is a smart move for businesses that need access to top-quality equipment without the long-term commitment of ownership. Here’s why hiring is often the better choice:
Flexibility for Every Project
Every site is different, and so are its equipment needs. One of the biggest advantages of working with a plant hire company is the ability to switch machinery based on what your project demands. If the job scope changes or the ground conditions shift, you can easily upgrade or swap machines without the stress or expense of buying and storing additional kit.
Modern, Well-Maintained Machines
A professional plant hire company will provide access to a fleet of up-to-date machines from leading manufacturers. This gives you:
The latest technology and features
Improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions
Better performance and operator safety
Reliable operation with fewer breakdowns
At H. E. Services, we continually invest in our plant to ensure every machine we supply is modern, efficient and site-ready.
Maintenance Included
When you hire machinery, you don’t just get the machine, you get peace of mind. All maintenance, servicing and repairs are handled by the hire company, meaning:
Less downtime on site
No costly repair bills
No need to employ in-house mechanics or technicians
It’s one less thing to worry about, letting your team focus on the job at hand.
Scale Up or Down with Ease
A good plant hire company gives you the freedom to adapt. If your project suddenly grows or slows down, you can adjust the amount of equipment you hire without being stuck with unused or underutilised machinery.
Two Machines to Consider for Your Next Hire
As a forward-thinking plant hire company, we’re always looking to add innovative machines to our fleet that offer real value on site. Here are two of our latest additions we think are worth highlighting:
SANY SY19E Electric Mini Digger
This fully electric mini excavator is ideal for emission-sensitive environments such as:
Urban construction sites
Indoor demolition projects
Night work in residential areas
With quiet operation and zero tailpipe emissions, the SANY SY19E helps contractors meet environmental targets while maintaining high productivity.
Morooka 8 Tonne Tracked Dumpers
When conditions are tough, these tracked dumpers truly shine. Built to handle soft ground, slopes and rough terrain, they’re perfect for:
Forestry and landscaping work
Infrastructure jobs in remote areas
Sites with unstable or muddy ground
Their low ground pressure and excellent stability reduce the risk of damage and delays, making them a smart choice for challenging environments.
