We achieve this by ensuring we commit to four clear stages of working under our ‘Service 4’ process …

Stage 1 – Planning

Our friendly specialists are here to help ensure you get the right tool for the job as well as give advice on best practice, training and any health and safety legislation you may need to know about. All equipment goes through a stringent process of testing before we allow it to leave the depot ensuring our equipment works first time every time.

Stage 2 – Logistics

  • Vehicle Tracking and delivery text support providing customers with accurate delivery timelines.
  • On-site Repair or Replace – No hassle approach to getting your team working again.

Stage 3 – Support

Alongside our ‘Service 4 Central Hire Team’ we offer customers a dedicated account manager, both on the end of the phone and onsite. Clear, concise reporting allows you to keep up to date with your live hires and our regular e-shot will keep you in the know on new products and industry news.

  • Personalised on-site account support
  • Tailor-made consultancy services – to suit individual customer needs.
  • Regular account reviews.

 Stage 4 – Value

Value is driven through everything we do, with long term hire options, advance booking discounts and affordable loss and damage cover we offer a huge amount of value to sit alongside our experience and service.

  • Every year, we invest a huge amount of our operational profit into buying the newest, most cutting edge equipment meaning that when you hire from us you know you’re getting the best possible kit for the job, rather than paying for older, less effective gear.
  • Over £5 million invested in new equipment over the last two years.

Our detailed four pronged approach to hire is what we believe sets us apart. And our long list of big name customers that repeatedly put their trust in us shows that our service driven ethic is working for both you the customer and for ourselves.
