Sweet service for the British Sugar Factory

The British Sugar Factory in Bury St Edmunds turns 2 million tonnes of sugar beet into 320,000 tonnes of sugar each year. We provided local teams with the essential plant needed to carry out maintenance, including boom lifts, scissor lifts, 1.5T excavators, and a telehandler.

Supporting Suffolk’s locally-grown produce

Who doesn’t love potatoes and onions? They’re the backbone of any good recipe and make up a large area of Suffolk’s agricultural industry. Our plant hire services are helping farmers across the county harvest these delicious crops, ready to be made into something hearty to keep you going on-site. Yes, you need fuel too!

Building the road to success

Rockthorn is always happy to help pave the way for any project. We supplied plant to construction teams working on the A12 Martlesham Road Networks building a new dual carriageway. We sent excavators, dumpers, telehandlers, and lighting towers to the site to help the teams complete the project.
