This 12.5m telehandler with a bucket attachment has created quite the bonfire! 🔥

Telehandlers are ideal for large scale bonfire construction. The telescopic boom lets you lift and stack pallets safely and build up the height with precision, and this one has certainly grown!

Our 6m telehandler hard at work on a warehouse strip-out in Newhaven.

It’s an ideal machine for the job. With pallet forks, it can move stacked goods, old racking components and packaged scrap straight out to waiting roll-on/roll-off skips or lorries.

The right attachments make this type of work even easier:

âś… Handling buckets to scoop and clear rubble
âś… Lifting hook attachment for suspended loads
âś… Cage to reach the underside of the mezzanine

Contact your local FTH hire hub to find out more.

Happy 7th anniversary to our Maidstone depot! 🎉

In October 2019, FTH Hire Group expanded into Kent with the acquisition of Contractors Equipment Hire (CEH) in Aylesford, Maidstone.

Like us, CEH was an independent hire company, with a strong local reputation and a large range of plant and tools. It was a perfect fit. We soon began investing in stock, the hire fleet and transport vehicles, and growing the fantastic team already in place, who had helped build that reputation.

This is part of our 45th anniversary celebrations, looking back at our journey of growth and success: new sites, new faces, new equipment.

We're still on the same site at Beddow Way, Aylesford, Kent, ME20 7BT, serving the whole county with hire equipment, with excellent links across Kent and to customers working in the capital.

A huge thank you to our loyal customers who stayed with us from the CEH days, and to everyone we've supported along the way. 🙌

Our excavators are seriously versatile machines. Their natural habitat is the construction site, digging and moving earth, but with the right attachment, an excavator can also be put to excellent use cutting back hedgerows.

In fact, using an excavator can give you long cutting reach, excellent maneuverability in tight spaces, and better control over steep banks or tall hedges compared to traditional tractors.

Contact your local hire hub for more information, whatever your application!
