Operated Plant Hire

CPCS-certified operator supplied with the machine. Crowborough depot, covering East Sussex and Kent.

Plant Hire with Delivery

Same-day delivery on many machines. We deliver, you work, we collect. Simple as that.

Operated Plant Hire in Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells and East Sussex

Some jobs need more than the right machine — they need the right person running it. When you book operated plant hire from us, we supply a fully qualified, CPCS-certified operator alongside the equipment. For crane lifts near Tunbridge Wells, tight excavations in Uckfield, or groundwork on difficult High Weald terrain, our operators remove the risk, remove the delay, and get the job done to the right standard the first time.

Our operators are vetted, experienced, and fully insured. They carry their certification on site and know the ground across East Sussex — the clay-heavy soil around Crowborough, the sloped plots near Heathfield, the restricted access that comes with rural properties across the High Weald.

If the job carries compliance requirements, our operators arrive with the paperwork — method statements, RAMS packs, lift plans — so you are covered from the moment the machine goes to work.

Operated hire is available across our full fleet from the Crowborough depot — excavators, telehandlers, crane lifts, cherry pickers and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between operated plant hire and self-drive hire?
With self-drive hire, you or your team operates the machine yourselves. You need the right certification — CPCS or NPORS for most plant, IPAF for access equipment. With operated plant hire, we supply a fully qualified, CPCS-certified operator alongside the machine. Operated hire is the right call when your team is not certified, when the site has difficult ground conditions around the High Weald, or when the job requires documented operator competence for compliance purposes. It removes your liability and keeps the job moving from day one.
Same-day delivery is available on many machines from our Crowborough depot when you call before midday. Next-day delivery is standard across Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, Heathfield and the wider East Sussex and Kent area. Early morning delivery slots are available if you need the crew working from the start of the day. Call us on 01892 662 777 and we will tell you straight away what we can get to your site and when.
For self-drive plant hire — excavators, dumpers, telehandlers — you need a valid CPCS or NPORS card. For cherry pickers and access equipment, an IPAF licence is required. Without the relevant certification, operated hire is the safer and more practical option. It protects you, your team, any underground services on site, and the machine itself. We offer operated hire across our full fleet from the Crowborough depot across East Sussex and Kent.
The clay-heavy soil across the High Weald around Crowborough, Uckfield and Heathfield gets soft and waterlogged quickly in autumn and winter. That affects how we set up the machine on site, which attachments we recommend, and in some cases which machine is right for the job. Our operators know these conditions well. When you book operated hire with us, the operator will assess the site on arrival and make sure the machine is set up correctly before work starts.
We deliver to rural sites and restricted access locations across Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, Heathfield and East Sussex every day. Our drivers know the area well — the narrow lanes off the A26, the tight access routes through High Weald villages, the farm tracks that need a different approach to a suburban delivery. Tell us the site details when you call and we will confirm the delivery plan before anything leaves the depot.
Yes. Trade accounts are available for contractors, site managers, facilities teams and businesses hiring regularly across East Sussex and Kent. A trade account means priority delivery scheduling, simplified booking, and flexible hire periods. We have trade account customers across Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield and Heathfield who have been hiring from our depot for years. Ask about opening an account when you call 01892 662 777.
