When you hire specialised equipment like formwork and propping you are speaking to experts who can help you choose the right equipment for the job. It is supported by an engineering service and maintenance processes and systems which ensures that the equipment is always reliable and efficient for use.
Once the job is finished, the equipment can be returned, without the worry of depreciation, repairs and maintenance and storage costs, or whether that piece of equipment will ever be used again.
- Control Costs
There is no need for you to worry about that the formwork and propping equipment needs to be inspected cleaned or maintained.
If you are falling behind and need additional equipment it is simply a phone call away.
Stock is controlled and depreciation is handled by the hirer.
Most importantly, all hiring equipment is fully tax-deductible which makes for good business sense because it does not tie up your valuable capital and allows you to focus on what you do best and servicing your customers.

The is no need for you to carry spare parts or extra or incidental components to service your contract therefore freeing up valuable cash resources.
- Saves Space & Storage Costs

Hiring equipment means you can progressively return the equipment as soon as you have finished with it.
- Save the Environment
Equipment that is purchased often sits idle for long periods of time. People are increasingly conscious of their carbon footprint therefore hiring makes sense for your business as well as the environment.

When you are building your project you need to focus on meeting the project requirements and don’t just want the right equipment at the right time, you want someone else to worry about delivery, maintenance, spare parts, accessories and more – you just want the equipment to work. Should something break down or is not perfectly suited to the application at hand, it can simply be returned, fixed or replaced immediately.
