10 Problems WHC Hire Service Solves

The modern-day construction industry faces many challenges that can often cost businesses time, money and precious resources. With our extensive knowledge and understanding of the pain points of today’s tradesmen and women, WHC Hire is committed to offering a tailored solution for businesses and avid DIYers to help get the job done. In this article, we are going to delve into the 10 problems WHC Hire Services solves and how choosing to partner with us could help alleviate common issues many experience when hiring equipment. In doing so, we hope to assist you in determining whether partnering with us is the right choice for you.

Let’s begin with the first solution that we provide which is, equipment availability.

Construction Equipment Availability

A common issue that many construction projects face is the availability of equipment. Still, even after the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, manufacturers are still catching up on the demand for new machinery. Delays due to the lack of equipment availability can result in financial loss and project downtime. Nevertheless, WHC Hire Services solves this problem with one of the largest independent modern fleets in the UK. With a huge range of sizes and specifications to choose from, our service is designed to keep businesses and DIY projects moving all year round.

Saving On Equipment Cost

Instead of purchasing brand-new machinery, WHC Hire lifts the burden of acquiring equipment by doing the heavy lifting for you. Customers who choose to work with us always get access to premium, high-performance equipment without the upfront cost of ownership. This allows customers to better allocate their budgets elsewhere, leading to improved cash flow and reducing overheads. In short, saving businesses potentially hundreds of thousands on equipment investments.

Reduced Mechanical Breakdowns

Mechanical breakdowns are one of our industry’s nightmares. Mechanical failures can bring any construction project to a grinding halt. This is normally caused by tired poorly maintained machinery. However, to combat this, WHC Hire continually reinvests into the quality of its fleet. All our plant hire equipment is no more than 48 months old before being updated. Partnered with our detailed servicing and testing performed between each hire, we can ensure our clients that they will receive reliable machinery with every hire. See how many new additions we’ve already added this year.

But should a worst-case scenario occur, WHC has a dedicated team of mobile engineers that cover the UK, providing a swift on-site repair service. We are committed to minimising your downtime and keeping projects moving forward. This leads to the next problem which is project completion times.

Faster Project Completion Times

In construction, time is money. Delays caused by third-party stakeholders like plant hire companies can significantly increase your overheads, especially if you have teams on the ground waiting. By providing clients with a frictionless service, WHC helps accelerate project timelines. With access to a vast amount of equipment and support from a large delivery team, customers who choose to work with us avoid long waiting times. This is further supported by our 3 depots found in Tewksbury, Worcester and Chipping Norton that service the entire UK. Our growing presence continues to reduce transport time whilst upholding the very best equipment standards.

Reduced Emissions

Sustainability is becoming vastly important throughout all areas of construction. Many businesses are looking at ways they can reduce their carbon footprint and fuel spending. To tackle this issue, WHC Hire provides construction companies with the latest, eco-friendly equipment designed to exert minimal emissions. All our plant equipment operates on the latest stage V emissions engines. Gifting businesses the ability to hit their sustainability goals and adhere to any environmental regulations at no extra cost.

Fast Acquisition

It’s often that construction projects require fast acquisition of equipment to meet deadlines. This could be a specific tool or attachment required to perform a specific task. WHC’s responsive service allows you to get the equipment you need in hours rather than weeks. All 3 of our depots are stocked with world-class machinery meaning we’re always within reach if you need us.

Safer Construction Sites

There is no hiding it, the construction sector is the most dangerous of them all. That is why safety is always paramount when it comes to operating machinery on-site. Outdated machinery can not only cause complications with breakdowns, but can also be hazardous to use. Instead of investing in limiting equipment, WHC provides clients with the ability to excel with machinery fitted with the latest safety systems. Overall, protecting not just the operator, but also others working on site too. Here is just one of many examples:

Access To Wide Range Of Equipment

The truth is that not one size fits all when choosing construction equipment. Having access to a wide range of machinery from a single supplier can reduce stress and enhance productivity when working on-site. The process of approaching and vetting new suppliers can be a daunting task, especially when you find yourself in the middle of a project. Even so, WHC Hire Services solves this issue as we offer one of the largest and most diverse plant and tool hire stocklists in the industry. With plant equipment ranging from 500kg-28T we are sure to have the machinery to quickly equip your teams.

Equipment Support

Having the right equipment to get the job done is just the first part. Real construction performance is determined by the support that you receive with your rental. One of our core values at WHC Hire is that we are committed to helping every operator get the most out of their machinery. With expert advice, in-depth articles and award-winning self-help on-site tutorials, your teams can maximise their performance when using our equipment. Overall, our support is designed to help operators hit the ground running and boost safety at the same time. For more information check out this guide, “What support does WHC Hire offer?”

Remove Downtime

Equipment downtime can be an extremely costly issue for many construction businesses. Especially through the quieter months of the year. However, WHC Hire removes this problem with flexible hire durations. Offering a wide range of tailored packages, our services are designed to enhance your productivity and balance your finances all at the same time. With our plant and tool hire equipment, construction companies can take advantage of the savings achieved by off-hiring their equipment as soon as they have finished with it. This promotes more profitable projects leading to business growth and strengthened reputation.

For over 25 years, WHC Hire Services has proudly upheld our four core values: passion, quality, commitment, and care. We are passionate about providing world-class equipment and delivering exceptional on-site support, while also caring for the environment. Our mission is to help your projects avoid the common challenges businesses face when hiring plant equipment.
