HIAB Transport for Plant & Machinery Hire Companies
AC Lifting supports plant and machinery hire firms with delivery, collection and lift-in-to-site work UK-wide. When your customer needs kit somewhere a flatbed can’t reach, we move it.
What we do for plant hire firms
- Lift mini diggers, telehandlers and compaction plant over walls and fences
- Place kit in rear gardens, locked compounds, roof decks and mezzanines
- Collect from end-of-hire sites where access needs lifting out, not driving out
- Move kit between your depots
- Overflow capacity when your fleet’s fully booked
Who this fits
CPA member hire firms, national tool and plant hire companies, specialist access and powered-access providers, groundwork plant dealers. If your customers regularly hit “we can’t drive it in there”, we’re the partner for those jobs.
How we keep it simple
- One number, one account manager, same operators on repeat jobs.
- LOLER-certified lifting accessories — chains, strops, spreader bars as needed.
- Site photos and POD so your customer never calls you confused.
- Quick turnaround — often next-day across the North West, with national jobs scheduled to suit.
Partner-style support for plant dealers and operators, including regular work with Cat and Finning UK.
Frequently asked questions
Can you handle tracked plant?
Tracked machines under our lift rating — yes, lifted on and off our flatbed. Larger tracked machines that need driving on/off we’ll either pair with a beavertail partner or advise you to book the right trailer separately.
Do you provide POD and photos?
Yes — POD as standard; photos on request. Useful when the end customer is off-site at delivery and you need proof of safe placement.
Can we book by app or email rather than phone?
Email bookings to transport@aclifting.com are welcome. For account customers we’ll agree a format that fits how your team already works.
Talk to us: call 01772 815778 or email transport@aclifting.com. Ad-hoc bookings welcome; running accounts available for regular work.
