The Brit Plant Deal:
From £131 per week (+VAT) on Contract Hire.
£0 Deposit & Brand New.
Premium "Site-Ready" Specification (Plant Plus):
Our EZ26 fleet is factory-ordered to a high-utility standard, ensuring it arrives on your site ready to work immediately:
✅ Long Dipper Arm: Equipped with an extended dipper to provide superior digging depth and reach, reducing machine movement and increasing on-site efficiency.
✅ KAT Immobiliser System: Protect your assets with a factory-fitted, coded-key anti-theft system—a critical requirement for many UK insurance policies and Tier 1 sites.
✅ Zero Tail Swing: Work safely in confined spaces; the rear of the machine never exceeds the width of the tracks, eliminating the risk of rear-end collisions.
✅ LED Safety Package: Includes front and rear work lights plus high-visibility Orange & Green beacons to meet all modern site safety regulations.
✅ Enhanced Protection: Features piston rod protection on boom, dipper, and bucket rams to prevent damage during heavy-duty excavation tasks.
✅ Operator Comfort: Includes a suspension seat with an orange safety belt and a high-performance heater for year-round UK operation.
Why Choose Long-Term Contract Hire? Choosing a Brit Plant contract for your 2.6-tonne fleet provides your business with the financial stability needed to price projects accurately and competitively.
✅ Inflation-Proof Fixed Costs: Lock in your £131/week rate for the duration of your contract. This protects your margins against the rising costs of maintenance and equipment price hikes.
✅ Simplified Fleet Management: One monthly invoice covers your high-spec fleet, making it easy for your finance team to track ROI and forecast future project costs.
✅ Latest Stage V Technology: Access brand-new, fuel-efficient machinery without the capital outlay, ensuring your firm remains compliant with the latest UK environmental standards.
