Plant Hire

The Plant Hire industry has many challenges…. with Security, Transport and Servicing all major concerns for the industry at every level.

GreenLane have specialised in the plant industry for over 10 years and have provided branded solutions to many OEMS including; JCB, Liebherr, Bomag & Dynapac and end user clients like Tarmac, WCE, Enterprise and Magnor Plant.

One of the biggest problems to affect the construction industry over the last 10 years at every level is plant theft. Whether you are a construction company hiring out equipment under CPA regulations or a hire company with vulnerable plant stored in the depot over the weekend, you’re very likely to have had a painful plant theft experience.

According to industry statistics this costs the construction industry between £600million and £1 billion annually and has driven up the cost of insurance so much that it has put many companies out of business – especially when your operating margins mean the loss of a JCB 3CX could wipe out all the profits on a £1 million contract.

Our specialist plant solution could help you with business challenges such as: Security, Servicing, Salary & Vehicle Costs.

  • The greatest risk of non-recovery is in the first 4 hrs of it being stolen - GreenLane will alert you immediately if there’s been any unauthorised movement, or if the unit has been tampered with.
  • Many plant hire companies over service their plant because they can only estimate the total engine hours – With our engine hour counter you can exactly predict when the kit needs a service – saving wasted time & cost with unnecessary journeys.
  • If your overtime bill is high for your service engineers – you can check their time sheets & make sure that you are getting value for money.
  • Fuel/Vehicles Costs - every extra mile that your service engineers drive will cost your business approx. £1 in fuel/vehicle & salary costs.
  • Since April 2007 it has been your responsibility to prove to the Inland Revenue whether your vehicles are being used for business or pleasure – with the potential cost to your business of £1000 per employee.
