Five Tips When Opting for Tool Hire

• Tool hire is extremely common. Everyday thousands
  of businesses up and down the country choose to
  hire plant machine. At the weekend, countless
  people opt to hire machinery as part of their
  domestic DIY projects. Suffice it to say, that
  tool hire is something that happens a lot in the
  UK.
• However, before you rush out and hire your
  required machinery from any old hire shop, read
  these five tips. They will help you to make the
  best decision when it comes to hiring your
  machine.

• 1. Make sure you hire the correct piece of kit.
• Yes, this seems self-evident, doesnt it? But,
  youd be surprised to learn that many people end
  up accidentally hiring the wrong piece of
  equipment. As a DIY enthusiast, for instance, it
  can be difficult to work out whether a digger or
  an excavator is better for the job, and whether
  those two things are the same or different pieces
  of equipment.
• Dont worry if you are unsure, all you need to do
  is explain the task to the hire company, and they
  will be able to inform you about the correct tool
  for the job. They do not want you to use their
  equipment in a way that it isnt intended to be
  used, and so will offer good advice.

• However, if you dont trust the advice of the
  same people that are selling (read leasing) you
  the product, you could ask a trusted friend that
  works in the industry, or contact someone and pay
  for advice, or visit on online DIY forum.
• 2. Make sure you know how to use the equipment.
• Again, this might seem self-evident, but you will
  need at least minimal training on a machine. Even
  something that appears as simple as a digger
  might well mean that you require training.
  Perhaps not in-depth training, but you certainly
  need the hire company to at least show you what
  to do, which they will be happy to do.

• 3. Make sure that you choose a local company if
  possible.
• It is generally better to choose a local company.
  For example, if you live in Devon, choose tool
  hire Devon. This confers you with a few benefits
• 1. It makes it easier for you to pick up/have the
  equipment delivered
• 2. It allows you to easily check out their
  reputation
• 3. It allows you to quickly get in touch if
  something goes wrong

• 4. Make sure that you have insurance.
• Dont assume that the hire company will sort out
  the insurance on your behalf. Often, they will,
  but you never know and so its up to you to
  double check.
• 5. Make sure that you research the hire company.
• Finally, before you hire the equipment, do a bit
  of research into the hire companys background.
  If you chose tool hire Devon, ask people in your
  local area what they think of the business, check
  out their online Companies House profile, and
  look for any online reviews. This will help you
  to make sure that you're hiring from a decent
  business.
