Each piece of machinery equipment is delivered/ collected by our trained Errigal Plant Hire experts, who will load and unload plant safely from our lorries & vans onto your site.
Once we have the equipment delivered to you, a familiarisation handover will take place to make sure your operatives are aware of the machines basic functions and any safety issues.
This service is also standard practice in our depots where trained staff will demonstrate any hired machine at point of collection.
Itβs our priority to make sure you get the job at hand done efficiently, and with the upmost safety of your operatives in mind.
When hiring any piece of quality equipment from Errigal Plant Hire you can be safe in the knowledge that it has been checked and tested by one of our technicians.
