The Fleet You Need. Not The Fleet We Have.
The Pitch: Britannia Plant & Machinery is the UK’s independent specialist in Heavy Plant Contract Hire. We are not a spot-hire shop, and we are not tied to a single manufacturer’s quota. We are a strategic leasing partner for construction firms, civil engineers, and infrastructure developers who need specific machinery for the long haul.
Why Independence Matters:
Large national competitors often force you to hire what sits in their yard to keep their utilization rates up. Because we are vendor-agnostic, we source the exact make, model, and spec required for your site—whether that’s JCB, Hitachi, Komatsu, or Volvo. You get the right tool for the job, sourced specifically for your contract.
Financial & Operational Efficiency:
We understand that heavy machinery is a financial asset, not just a tool. Our Contract Hire agreements are built to protect your bottom line:
-
Zero Deposit, Maximum Liquidity: We structure agreements with £0 upfront deposit. This allows you to retain your working capital for essential operational costs—like materials and payroll—rather than locking it up in depreciating metal.
-
Off-Book Funding (Credit Line Protection): By utilizing our capital facilities, you keep the asset financing off your primary banking lines. This preserves your borrowing capacity for other critical business investments.
-
Cashflow Certainty: Fixed monthly costs remove the volatility of ownership, unexpected repair bills, and disposal risks.
-
Simple Agreements: We cut the red tape. You get clear terms, transparent pricing, and less administrative burden, so you can focus on the project.
Plant Solutions for UK Infrastructure
We are dedicated to powering the UK’s construction and civil engineering sectors with a complete range of heavy plant. Our mandate is simple: to provide Contract Hire solutions that balance technical performance with commercial viability.
Whether you require a fleet of Excavators and Dumpers for earthmoving or Telehandlers for site logistics, we ensure you have the specific assets required to hit project milestones on time—and on budget.
