Let’s get into detail regarding the most popular type of construction tool hire available…
Cement Mixers
Cement mixers are a must-have on any building site. Whether you’re working on a small domestic extension or a larger commercial project, a cement mixer ensures consistent, efficient mixing of concrete and mortar. At P&L Tool Solutions, we offer a range of mixer sizes to match your project’s scale, including site mixers and paddle mixers.
Suitable and recommended for: Bricklaying, groundwork, and blockwork.
Compaction Plates
Also known as wacker plates, these machines are essential for compacting soil, hardcore, and asphalt. Compaction plates are commonly used to prepare sub-surfaces for laying patios, driveways, or concrete slabs. We stock small, medium and large plate compactors, including models with water tanks for asphalt work.
Suitable and recommended for: Groundworks, driveway installation, and slab laying.
Hydraulic Breakers
When it comes to demolition or breaking through reinforced concrete, hydraulic breakers are the tool of choice. These powerful machines can tackle even the toughest materials, saving time and manual effort. We offer both handheld electric breakers and digger-mounted options depending on your bespoke requirements and preferences for the job at hand.
Suitable and recommended for: Demolition work, removing old concrete, and site clearance.
Floor Saws
Need to cut into concrete or asphalt with precision? Our heavy-duty floor saws are ideal for road repairs, trench cutting, and flooring jobs. With petrol-powered options available, these saws are capable of slicing through thick surfaces with ease. Common cutting depths range from a few inches to over a foot, allowing versatility in various applications.
Suitable and recommended for: Cutting concrete slabs, tarmac, and expansion joints.
Concrete Pokers
Concrete pokers, also known as vibrating pokers, remove air bubbles from freshly poured concrete. This process improves the strength and durability of the concrete by ensuring an even, void-free finish. Concrete Pokers are available in petrol and electric options and you can select from short-term or long-term hire with P&L Tool Solutions.
Suitable for and recommended for: Foundation work, slab pouring, and formwork.
Disc Cutters
A construction necessity, disc cutters are versatile tools used to cut bricks, metal, concrete, and stone. You can choose from 12-inch and 16-inch petrol models depending on your cutting needs. Our excellent disc cutters are a go-to for any general builder or landscaper within Plymouth or across the South West region. Cordless disc cutters are available for ease of use.
Suitable and recommended for: Brick and block cutting, steel trimming, and hard landscaping.
Scaffold Towers
Access equipment is vital for safe and efficient working at height. Our scaffold towers are ideal for trades working on walls, roofs, windows, or ceilings. Easy to assemble and available in various sizes, they ensure both stability and mobility on site. Youngman Boards, Trestles, and Acro Props are also available to hire if required for your construction project or ongoing work.
Suitable and recommended for: Roofing, plastering, decorating, and external construction work.
Water Pumps
One of our most popular requests from customers is for water pumps of varying type and features. Whether you’re dealing with flooded foundations, full trenches, or site drainage, a water pump is essential. We stock powerful, easy-to-use petrol water pumps designed to move large volumes of water quickly, keeping your site dry and safe.
Suitable and recommended for: Site dewatering, groundworks, and emergency flood management.
