Frequently Asked Questions
What plant can I hire from 777 Hire?
Our plant range covers excavators from 0.8 to 38 tonnes, battery electric mini diggers, telehandlers from 4 to 12 metres, and excavator attachments including augers, piling hammers, a patch planer and tracked stump grinders. Through our vetted supplier network we can typically source more besides, subject to availability. Tell us your job and we’ll put the right package together.
What size excavator do I need?
It comes down to access and dig depth. As a rough guide, 0.8 to 1.5 tonne micro and mini diggers suit restricted-access and landscaping work, 3 to 8 tonne machines handle most groundworks and drainage, and 13 tonnes upward is for bulk muckshifting. If you’re unsure, our hire team will help you spec it to the job.
Do I need a CPCS card to use hired plant?
For commercial work on a managed site, whoever uses the machine should hold a recognised qualification, typically CPCS or NPORS for the machine type, plus a CSCS card to be on site. It isn’t a legal requirement on private land. Make sure whoever uses the plant is suitably qualified, and we’ll get the right machine to you.
Can I hire plant on a daily, weekly or long-term basis?
Yes. We hire by the day, the week and on longer-term contracts, and the rate per day drops the longer you keep the machine. Weekly hire typically works out far better value than five separate days. Send us your dates and we’ll quote the best rate for the duration.
Do you set up trade accounts for plant hire?
We do. Contractors and trade customers can run a credit account for fast repeat hires and consolidated invoicing, rather than paying per order. Ask the team about opening an account when you get in touch.
How do I choose the right plant for my project?
Start with the heaviest task, the access width and the ground conditions, then pick the smallest machine that handles it comfortably, since oversizing just adds cost. Share a few details about the site and we’ll recommend the right kit and any attachments you’ll need.
Do you supply attachments and buckets with the machine?
Yes. Digging and grading buckets, breakers, augers, grabs and other hydraulic attachments are available subject to the machine and stock. Let us know the task and we’ll include the right tooling with your hire.
How quickly can you deliver plant to site?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
