About from company website

John Horton Plant Hire Limited was established in 1974 by founder John Horton, who began as an owner-operator with his first JCB 3C. Over the decades, the business has grown into a leading name for plant hire in its region, offering a wide range of modern, well-maintained plant. Their engineers ensure all equipment is kept in top condition, and plant is regularly tested and certified by a third-party company.

The company provides both operated and non-operated plant hire, including micro, mini, and midi excavators, tracked excavators, rubber ducks, JCB 3cx backhoe loaders, forward tipping site dumpers, and ride-on rollers. They also offer a variety of attachments for excavators, such as hydraulic breakers, piling hammers, compactor plates, pile croppers, augers, riddle buckets, and pallet forks. Additionally, they can source 8-wheel tippers for muck away or aggregate supply, aiming to simplify logistics for clients by arranging all necessary equipment from a single supplier.

All operatives are fully CPCS certified and possess extensive experience within the construction industry. John Horton Plant Hire prides itself on offering reliable plant at competitive prices, coupled with friendly service to assist clients in selecting the most suitable equipment for their specific needs. Hires are subject to CPA model terms and conditions.
