Channon Plant Hire

03/01/2026

2025 is done and what a year it was! We are very excited to get going for 2026.

If you are in need of construction equipment, groundworks, self drive hire or small tools or if you are starting to plan your jobs for this coming year then do get in touch. We’d love to see how we could help.

Here at Channon Plant Hire we have a range of machines all available for self drive hire or operated. Diggers from micro digger through to 8 ton.
Dumpers from tracked dumpers (perfect for narrow entrances) to a 9 ton.
Rollers, telehandler, as well as a whole host of attachments and a huge ever growing range of small tools.

Whatever you need we’ve likely got it or will do our very best to get it for you. We are already taking jobs for 2026 so if you need our services or just want to talk through what your need get in touch on 07790025796 for prices and availability

We are a family run local business with over 22 years experience in the industry. A passion for great service, quality machines and making sure the job is done right.
Last year we celebrated our 11th year in business, continued to invest in our fleet with even more high quality machines, tools and attachments , worked with so many brilliant new and regular customers and we can’t wait to see what 2026 holds.

Happy New Year!

We’ve been offline and away from the machines for the last couple of days enjoying some family time but we’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year especially to all our customers, suppliers, supporters, and everyone we’ve had the pleasure of working with this year! It’s been an amazing year and we couldn’t have done it without your support.

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful day yesterday and over the coming twixmas days with your loved ones.

Thank you again for your continued support—we can’t wait to see you in the New Year (or if you know Craig he’ll likely be back at it tomorrow 😂)

Today we pause to remember the bravery and sacrifice of those who served. Their courage shaped the freedoms we hold today.

May we carry their strength and spirit forward, always and may their service and dedication never be forgotten.

Lest we forget

We’ve been a little quiet on here… but for good reason!

Behind the scenes, we’ve been busy upgrading and expanding — from new diggers and small tools to ground protection boards. We’re investing in our fleet to make sure you’ve got the best kit to get the job done right.

Based in Cheddar, we bring over 21 years of experience and a real passion for quality. Whether you need self-drive hire, operated machinery, or an ever-growing range of small tools, we’ve got you covered — and if we don’t have it, we can usually get it!

Thank you Ian and team 👍

Little and large!

New machines have arrived in Somerset for Craig Channon.

Channon Plant Hire have added a couple of new U10-5’s and a KX085-5 to their fleet.

These machines are at either end of the models that Kubota currently supply. These fit nicely in Craig’s fleet as the accompany the other models he already runs, such as the U17 and the U27.

Thank you to Craig and all at Channon Plant Hire for your continued investment into Kubota.

Happy Birthday to the big boss 🥳🥳

Another year older (you’re getting real old now), but still running smoother than a well-greased digger (ok that might be being a bit generous).

Hope your day is full of smooth tracks, no breakdowns (you not the machines obviously), and a cab full of cake.

Happy birthday Craig, we love ya.
