Mini-diggers for moonrakers

Wiltshire locals are often referred to as moonrakers, but why? Legend has it a group of smugglers tossed their contraband barrels of alcohol into a pond as the authorities passed by. Once gone, the smugglers began to rake the pond to dig up their barrels, but the authorities returned to ask what they were doing. The smugglers claimed they were trying to rake the cheese from the surface, which was simply a reflection of the moon. The authorities thought they were mad and left, leaving the smugglers to finish collecting their contraband. Pity they didn’t have Rockthorn back then – we’d have had an excavator there to dig the barrels up in no time.

If you’re looking to rake up some moon cheese of your own, let us send you an army of mini-diggers to get the job done. Or maybe you’re building the next Stonehenge and need a 20M telescopic handler? Whatever the job and however loft the goal, give us a call on 01249 585070 and let us help with our expert Wiltshire plant hire service.

Turn on the waterworks

Before water pipeline works could begin in Kingsdown, Swindon, an archaeological dig had to be carried out to ensure construction wouldn’t destroy potentially important finds. We supplied the team with welfare facilities for the workers, as well as a road legal excavator complete with an expert operator.

Essential factory operations

For this large job, we provided our client with scissor lifts, skips, diesel, welfare facilities, and forklifts so they could carry out essential work at the Medical Cannabis Cultivation Facility. We are always open to assisting with any projects that support the medical community and research facilities.
