The Hire Company Behind 350,000 Projects
Twenty-five years, one depot at a time — Ironclad Plant Hire keeps contractors, builders and developers moving with plant they can trust.
Plant people first, paperwork second.
Ironclad started in 2001 with two dumpers and a borrowed low-loader. Today we run a 120-machine fleet across three depots — but the rule has never changed: if a machine is not good enough for our own sites, it does not go to yours. Every fitter is manufacturer-trained, every hire is backed by the hire desk seven days a week.
- 120+ machines, average age under 6 years
- Manufacturer-trained fitters in every depot
- Hire desk open Mon–Sat, 8am–6pm
From first call to final collection
Spec the job
Tell us the task, ground and access. We recommend the smallest machine that will genuinely do it — never the biggest one on the yard.
Fixed written quote
Hire, delivery, fuel policy and waiver on one page. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Deliver & support
Timed delivery, documented handover, breakdown cover throughout — then collection when you are done.
