Need reliable plant hire in Manchester?
Fineturret supplies excavators and diggers, telehandlers, dumpers and rollers to contractors, groundworkers and civils teams across Greater Manchester, with same-day and next-day delivery to keep your programme moving.
What sets us apart: we’re not a hire desk that has never left the yard. We’re a civil engineering contractor established in 1975, and the plant we hire out is the same fleet we run on our own tunnelling, shaft-sinking and groundworks schemes. You’re hiring from people who operate this machinery on live sites every day and maintain it to the standard that demands.
Every machine we supply is regularly serviced, fully insured, and compliant with LOLER and PUWER regulations, with inspection certificates provided on every hire. For a main contractor, that means plant that won’t hold up an audit or a site induction.
Hire self-drive if your team is CPCS/NPORS-qualified and insured to operate the machine or take operated hire and put one of our experienced, CPCS-qualified operators on your site. Because we’re a civils contractor first, our operators aren’t just licensed; they work groundworks, excavation and site-prep day in, day out.
Our fleet is matched to the work Manchester’s construction industry actually does:
We deliver throughout Greater Manchester – Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Bolton, Wigan, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury and Tameside with same-day and next-day availability subject to stock. Local delivery keeps your costs down and your machine on site fast.
We’re based in Bury and cover Salford, Salford Quays and the wider North West daily, so plant for Salford groundworks and civils jobs is rarely more than a short run away. Tell us the site and dates and we’ll confirm delivery up front.
No minimum hire periods. We offer daily, weekly and long-term agreements, with longer hires moving onto cheaper weekly rates. As a guide, plant hire in Manchester typically runs from around £100/day for compact machines up to several hundred a day for larger or high-reach units. We’ll confirm an exact, all-in figure (including delivery) when you enquire, so there are no surprises.
