I regularly hire plant and machinery from Rockthorn Ltd for our projects, and they never cease to amaze. From start to finish, the team are professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. The selection of equipment is extensive, and everything is well-maintained and in good condition. I always appreciated their guidance in choosing the right machinery for my specific needs; they really take the time to understand our requirements. The booking process is always seamless, and the delivery is prompt and hassle-free. What stands out the most is their customer service. Whenever I have questions, the staff are readily available and eager to assist. It’s clear they prioritize their customers and strive for excellence. I highly recommend Rockthorn Ltd for anyone in need of machinery hire!

Simply the best, my first port of call for all plant. Needed a 21 tonner quickly on site and Adam had one for the next day. Contacts all across the country, I've had everything from a 36 tonne Komatsu to a post knocker. Best price and service bar none!
