Major Essex-Based Plant Hire Firm Expands Fleet Significantly

A major plant hire company based near Brentwood has made additions to its fleet.

Rhinos Plant Hire, which hires out heavy and small plant to customers across Essex, London and the South East, added everything from a range of mini diggers to a lorry to its fleet.

Arrivals at the yard

The main additions to the fleet were three eight-ton excavators. All three arrived in the space of just three days.

The excavators are from Kubota, a well-respected manufacturer name in the plant hire world.

The arrival of the three excavators came just a few weeks after two diggers of the same size were delivered.

Smaller versions for customers who require a more compact option also arrived. Two three-ton diggers joined the fleet.

The plant items will join a wider fleet of diggers which range from 0.8 tonnes in size to 8 tonnes.

The firm also offers a wide variety of attachments and add-ons, including hydraulic breakers and grapples.

And as part of the firm's commitment to top-quality customer service, it has also made the decision to invest in a 32-ton lorry.

Rhinos Plant Hire has grown in recent years to become one of the leading independent plant hire companies in South East England.

The firm has made significant investments in its fleet in order to meet the needs of its customers.

The company strives to ensure that it can help when the phone rings and it deals with a customer enquiry.
