Yes, Tiger Plant Hire operates it’s own in-house fleet to support all assets. Delivery and collection fees are provided when you request a hire quote, so make sure to provide the site location when requesting a hire price!

It is your responsibility to have the correct insurance. Clients are advised to ensure they have ‘hired-in’ plant insurance. For a small hire period, we understand that this may not be possible. If this is the case, get in touch and we can help provide advice.

A week is considered to be a working week, Monday to Friday. We also have weekend hire rates and day rates if that is a better fit with your requirements. Contact us for details if you want to hire for 3 days or more, as a weekly hire charge would be cheaper for you than a daily rate.

This would incur a weekend charge on top of your weekly charge. However if you intend to keep the machine into the following week we usually don’t charge for the weekend. (Entirely at our discretion).

We don’t usually charge if the machine receives minor scratches, but serious damage such as dents, scratches to rams, panels or other parts would, unfortunately, result in a repair bill.

Our machines will be delivered to you full of fuel. Your hire cost does not include fuel unless you specifically ask us to include it. You should return the machine full of fuel. If we have to refuel, we will charge you to refill the tank. Ask us about fuel bowsers for short or long-term hire contracts which will save you time and money.
