If you’re working on a building site, a landscaping job, or a big groundworks project anywhere in Leicester or the East Midlands, you already know how important the right equipment is. The wrong machine, or a machine that keeps breaking down, can slow your whole job and cost you money. That’s where good plant hire comes in.
At JB Tool Hire, we’ve been helping local builders, contractors, and tradespeople for over 30 years. We’re a family-run business, and we know this area well because we live and work here too. We have three depots close to you in Coalville, Loughborough, and Hinckley, so wherever you’re based in Leicestershire, there’s a good chance we’re just around the corner.
Why Plant Hire Makes Sense
Buying heavy machinery outright isn’t always practical. Equipment is expensive, it needs storage space, and it needs regular servicing. For most jobs, hiring makes a lot more sense. You get the right tool for the job, you don’t pay for machines sitting idle, and you don’t have to worry about maintenance we handle that side of things.
What Equipment Can You Hire?
We offer a wide range of plant and tools for hire, covering most jobs you’ll come across in construction, groundworks, road surfacing, waste handling, and landscaping. Some of our most popular hire items include:
- Mini diggers and excavators: Great for smaller sites, gardens, and tight spaces
- Dumpers: For moving muck, soil, and materials around site quickly
- Skid steer loaders: Useful, flexible machines for all sorts of ground jobs
- Disc cutters: Handy for cutting through concrete, block, and stone
- Small tools and equipment: Everything from breakers to compaction plates
Whatever the size of your job, we can usually match you with the right machine.
Choosing the Right Equipment for Your Job
A lot of people aren’t sure exactly what they need before they call us, and that’s completely fine. Tell us about your job, the size of the site, what ground you’re working on, and what you’re trying to achieve, and we’ll point you towards the equipment that fits. It’s always worth asking, because using the wrong machine can end up costing you more time than it saves.
