Frequently Asked Questions
01 What makes Chippindale Plant different as a plant hire provider?
At Chippindale, we have over 74 years of experience, during which we have developed a clear understanding of what our customers want, as well as building a team with an exceptional knowledge of the plant hire and construction plant sales industry. Our award-winning team provides an exceptional experience for our customers, with the infrastructure we have built enabling us to give our customers a service we’re proud of. Our absolute focus is making the plant hire process simple, whilst never providing anything less than the safest, most effective and reliable equipment.
Starting as a family business with £100 of investment, the family values that started Chippindale and are an important part of our history remain at the core of what we do, so you’ll never be speaking to sales people but instead, friendly and knowledgeable team members who quite simply want to find the best solution for you. Whether this is over the phone, email or a cuppa and biscuit at one of our depots, is up to you.
Aside from our commitment to our customers and strong family values, something else that sets us apart is our consistent investment in the best quality plant hire machinery that the industry has to offer. Every piece of equipment in our plant hire fleet is tried and tested by us, as we have watched the machinery grow and improve over decades, so we know we can rely on it and that it’s good enough for our customers. Along with the quality of the machinery itself, something else that helps our customers get the job done to the highest possible standard is our commitment to machine maintenance, servicing all of our plant hire machinery more than twice the industry average and being available at all times throughout your plant hire if you have any questions or if an issue arises which needs resolving.
Overall, we really care about our customers, which is reflected in the team we choose, our core values and the quality of machinery that we provide, whether that’s for our plant hire or construction plant sales customers.
02 Which brands do your plant hire and construction plant sales divisions include?
We have worked with industry leading brands for decades, so know that the plant hire machinery and construction plant sale machinery that our customers access is the best in the industry. From Mecalac dumpers to Atlas Copco compressors, Bomag rollers and Volvo excavators to Epiroc breakers and Stihl power tools, our machinery offers the most reliable, effective, efficient, powerful and safe experience for our customers.
03 Where is Chippindale Plant based?
Our journey began at our plant hire depot in Leeds, however as the business grew we have opened depots all over the North of England, including Manchester, Catterick, Newcastle, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Keighley and York. If you’re not based near one of our depots don’t worry, as our team will deliver all of your plant hire or your construction plant sales purchase directly to site.
04 I’m interested in plant hire with Chippindale, what is the new customer process?
If you’re interested in plant hire with us, all you need to do is fill out our enquiry form or you can give us a call directly. A member of our team will be able to tell you more about what we do, answer any questions you have and generally just get the process started. Every customer is different, with some knowing exactly what they need and wanting to arrange the hire, whilst others may want more guidance on the right machinery for their project. Either is absolutely fine, then we can start to arrange your plant hire, along with tool hire, excavator attachment or site cabin hire if you need it.
We will get your plant hire plan put together, ensure hired-in plant insurance is in place, then assign an account manager who will know everything about your project and will be available throughout the duration of your hire, whether this is a quick phone call or site visit.
On the day your plant hire has been arranged for, it will be delivered to site following a final full service and set up by our trained engineers, to ensure you’re cooking with gas before we leave. If you have any queries throughout, simply call your account manager and they will promptly be able to help. Live hire reports and billing information can be provided throughout your plant hire if this would be helpful. Once you’re finished with the equipment (we never request an end date in advance as we understand it’s normal for projects to run over) simply give us a call, we will pause all charges and collect the plant hire equipment as soon as possible.
After your plant hire, we will have a debrief to ensure you were happy with the process and hopefully look forward to working with you again!
