Always on time

It may well be an urban myth, but they say Leicester has more traffic lights than any other city in the UK. While it seems like no one can confirm this, anyone who’s driven through the city definitely leans on the side of belief. No need to panic about delayed machinery, however; Rockthorn will make sure your machinery, facilities, and accessories are delivered quick as a flash. 

Why choose Rockthorn?

The Big Cheese of Plant Hire

Any cheese lover worth their crackers should know Leicester is the birthplace of the delicious Red Leicester and one of only three counties allowed to make proper Stilton. Leicestershire produces top-quality cheese for the masses to enjoy, so it’s only fair we provide top-quality plant hire to the fine folks who work here! 

While not quite as tasty as cheese, our services won’t crumble. All of our plant is ready for you to use safely and securely throughout your project. Our customer service is solid, always providing a helpful and friendly front to solve any of your queries or concerns from quote to completion. 

Our plant hire services are for you. We can supply everything you need to build new housing developments or farm the rolling fields, delivered on time with expert operators, should you need them. Call us on 0330 118 5030 and let’s talk about what your project needs. We’ll even step in as cheese taste testers.

Providing welfare to workers

When facility maintenance and management began at the Wigston Water Treatment Plant, the team reached out to us for welfare facilities for the workers and fuel storage equipment. We can source and supply plant not featured on our site, so if you have something you need, get in touch.

Building homes in Barwell

High Street, Barwell saw new homes built, and we were on hand to supply the teams on site with dumpers and telehandlers. We are proud to play a part in developing new housing for local communities, and will always source the plant needed to get these projects done.

Keeping sites secure

The environmental groundwork had to be carried out in Oakham, so we supplied excavators along with fencing facilities to keep the sites secure. The safety of workers and the public is important to us, so get in touch to find out more about the fencing we can source for your project.
