Each Beaver Tool Hire branch operates its own fleet of vehicles ensuring prompt delivery and collection (same day if required) at competitive rates.
We will only collect once we have received a telephone call to say that the item is ready at which point an 'off hire' number will be issued to you.
You can collect equipment in person at any one of our branches. For convenience the weight of larger items is shown as part of the description. If you are collecting in person please ask and we will be happy to advise what type of vehicle you will need. Remember, we will always assist with loading on to your vehicle if required.
On request we will demonstrate any item of equipment. Certain items such as chainsaws will require a full induction which will require some of your time at the branch.
We have a number of flexible rates on many of our most popular items, including a four hour rate on certain products when you only need equipment for a short hire.
Weekend Rate
Items such as floor sanders qualify for a special weekend rate allowing you time to complete the job with ease. Collect last thing on Friday afternoon and return it to us by Monday morning before 9:00am to qualify. Please contact us for further details.
Long-Term Hire Rates
Discounts are available for long-term hires on items such as temporary fencing, site mixers and props. Please contact your branch manager for a quotation.
