Plant Equipment Hire FAQs

Our event plant range includes teleporters, boom lifts, scissor lifts, buggies, trailers and ancillary plant equipment. Different sizes and working heights are available, allowing crews to complete lifting, access and site-movement tasks during event installation and breakdown.

A teleporter, also known as a telehandler, is commonly used to lift and position materials around an event site. It can support tasks such as moving event infrastructure or placing loads where suitable access and reach are required. The correct machine depends on the load, lift height, reach, terrain and available space.

A scissor lift raises a platform vertically and is suited to work where access is available directly below the task. A boom lift provides greater outreach and can reach over obstacles. The right choice depends on the required working height, sideways reach, ground conditions, access route and work area.

The website lists boom lifts and teleporters in a range of sizes and working heights, including larger machines for demanding event builds. Tell us the height and reach you need, what task is being completed and where the machine will operate. We can then help identify a suitable option.

Start with the task, load, required reach or working height, operating surface and access restrictions. You should also consider overhead hazards, gradients, turning space and the environment in which the equipment will be used. Our team can review these details and recommend suitable equipment.

We need to know the delivery route, entrance dimensions, unloading area, operating space and ground conditions. Please also identify slopes, soft ground, overhead obstructions and restricted areas. A site plan, photographs or site survey can help confirm that the proposed equipment can be delivered and used safely.

Suitability depends on the machine, terrain, weather and ground-bearing capacity. Grass, soft ground and uneven surfaces may require a different equipment specification or suitable ground protection. Tell us about the conditions in advance so that they can be considered when selecting and positioning the machine.

Plant and powered-access equipment must only be used by appropriately trained, competent and authorised operators in accordance with the machine instructions and site rules. The event organiser or hirer should confirm operator requirements, risk assessments and supervision arrangements before work begins.

Yes. We can create a plant hire package for different stages and tasks across the build and breakdown schedule. Providing the programme, task list and site plan helps us recommend the mix of teleporters, powered-access equipment, buggies or trailers required and coordinate delivery timings.

Reserve it as early as possible once your event dates, site and build programme are known. Large machines and specific working heights may be in greater demand, particularly during busy event periods. Early booking also leaves time to check access, ground conditions and operator arrangements.
