Plant Hire I Excavator I Dumper I Roller

At Plant-Fit, we don’t just deliver machines – we deliver solutions. Our operated plant hire service is designed to take the pressure off your team and keep your project running smoothly. When you hire a machine from us with a fully qualified operator, you’re investing in efficiency, safety, and peace of mind.

For contractors and site managers, this means less stress, reduced downtime, and a trusted expert behind the controls.

What Is Operated Plant Hire?

Operated plant hire refers to hiring machinery complete with a trained operator. Instead of sourcing and managing your own workforce, you benefit from a machine and an operator who’s already experienced, ticketed, and ready to go. At Plant-Fit, all our operators are CPCS or NPORS certified and hand-picked for their professionalism and on-site knowledge.

From excavators and dumpers to rollers and telehandlers, we’ve got the right machines and the right people to run them.

Why Choose Operated Plant Hire?

Hiring a machine is one thing – using it correctly and safely is another. Here’s why many of our clients across Doncaster, Yorkshire and the UK are turning to our operated hire service:

• Enhanced Site Safety – Certified operators reduce the risk of on-site incidents and ensure proper machine use.
• Improved Productivity – A professional operator gets the job done faster and more accurately.
• Zero Learning Curve – No training, no supervision – just immediate results.
• Fewer Delays – Skilled handling avoids mishaps and breakdowns.
• Cost Effective – Reduce idle time and increase your ROI on hired equipment.

Trained and Certified Operators

At Plant-Fit, our operated hire team is made up of experienced professionals who meet the highest industry standards. Every operator holds the necessary CPCS or NPORS certification and is briefed on the specific requirements of each job before they step onto your site.

We also maintain constant communication to ensure the operator you get is the right fit for your machine, your site, and your schedule.

Ideal for a Range of Projects

Our operated plant hire service is popular with clients across industries, including:

• Civil engineering and groundworks
• House building and commercial construction
• Landscaping and site clearance
• Utilities and infrastructure works
• Roadworks and local authority contracts

Whether it’s a tight-access dig in a city centre or a bulk earthmoving job in rural Yorkshire, we have the machine and the operator to match.

Our continued effort to remain open at this critical time is proving to be both challenging and demanding. However, in-light of these unprecedented circumstances we have committed ourselves to ensure that we continue to operate while ever we can, and while ever it is safe to do so! Our main concern right now is for the safety and wellbeing of our staff and this is why we have placed strict procedures, policies and guidelines to maintain a safe working environment for those who remain working at our site and those who visit client sites. Our committment to you is to make sure you have our full support, both in terms of Plant hire and advice, if and when you need it!

We remain contactable through our usual channels, by both telephone and email.

In light of the on-going world health issues we are all encountering at the moment, we would like to re-assure both clients and customers, that as a business we are doing everything possible to make sure all of our hire equipment is kept as clean, and as sterile as possible. As vehicles and equipment get returned, and before we send out for delivery, all our equipment goes through a rigorous decontamination process to make sure they are ready for operation upon delivery.

Our staff have also been made aware of the new processes in place and will be doing everything possible to limit themselves from contact and exposure, within all delivery locations. We hope this goes some way to giving you peace of mind …

Most site operators know how reliable and efficient the Kubota’s are, many believing they’re the best in their class. With a proven track record in the industry they were designed for, all the very latest in-cab features and built with safety in mind, it became abundantly clear that this was a machine that we wanted in our registry of plant equipment. Bringing in the Kubota excavator has shown our commitment to supplying a diverse range of plant machinery to the ever demanding building and construction industry, and in addition to that a profound leader of excavator technology.

At Plant-fit we are always adding to our range of products and services we offer. This week saw us take ownership of a brand new 20t JCB 220x excavator.  We collected from TC Harrisons at Sheffield in the morning and due to demand, we delivered direct to our client on the same day. Recent interest in this new X-Frame heavy lift excavator has given us the opportunity to add this pinnacle of luxury plant to to our large fleet of modern plant equipment, allowing us to continually operate at the forefront of the plant hire industry.
