What Clients Are WHC Hire Not Best Suited For?

WHC Hire Services plays a major role in supporting a wide range of industries, including construction, civil engineering, utilities, manufacturing, and groundwork. However, there are some instances where our services may not be the best fit. Examples are:

Operated equipment

WHC Hire Services specialises in supplying high-performance plant and tool equipment for clients to operate themselves. We do not offer an operated plant hire service. For projects that require this solution, we’d recommend seeking alternative propositions.

Purchasing equipment

We exclusively focus on hire equipment at WHC Hire Services. Therefore none of our machinery is available for purchase. Even when our machinery comes to the end of its life with us, we deal directly with our chosen manufacturers to arrange updating our fleet. If you are seeking to purchase equipment, you should seek to deal with a business that specialises in sales rather than hire.

Welcoming You To WHC Hire Services

WHC is proud to be part of the key foundations that support a wide range of clients across the DIY and professional sectors. We focus highly on offering a quality, reliable and flexible equipment hire solution, along with our signature touch.
