Plant Hire Kent

At DDS, we provide flexible, cost-effective plant hire solutions tailored to construction companies in Kent. Our services offer an ideal alternative to buying machinery, which can come with high upfront costs and long-term commitments. By choosing to hire plant equipment, construction companies can significantly cut costs and avoid concerns like storage, maintenance, repairs, and depreciation.

There are so many benefits to hiring plant equipment, including:

  • Flexibility – hiring plant equipment allows you flexibility if your plans change during the project.
  • Cost-effective – the initial cost of machinery is incredibly expensive, not to mention the servicing and upkeep. By hiring, you pay for the machinery for as long as you need it and don’t have to worry about repairs or maintenance.
  • High-quality – when you hire, you avoid the problem of needing to buy second-hand to keep costs down. You can hire equipment that has been quality-checked and undergoes regular testing and servicing.
  • Storage – if you buy plant equipment yourself, you need to find adequate storage, which is more expensive on top of the already expensive upfront cost of the machinery. Hiring plant equipment means you don’t need to worry about where it’s going to be stored.
  • Selection – plant hire companies, such as DDS, have a huge selection of machinery for you to choose from. This means you get equipment for exactly what you need.

At DDS, we provide quality, cost-effective plant machinery for businesses in Kent that can be delivered quickly and efficiently wherever you need it. We can also come and collect your machinery once you’re done. If you’re interested in hiring plant equipment, get in touch with us now.
