Hired a MultiTel HX200 20m Truck… Great Hire Experience with Outstanding Support from Emma G
I hired a MultiTel HX200 20m Truck Mount for a week from this company and had a great experience. Emma G was extremely helpful throughout the process. I had to change the hire date at the last minute, and she was very understanding and assisted in rearranging everything smoothly.
The hiring process itself was straightforward and easy. The technical support team was also very responsive and helpful during the operational period whenever I needed assistance.
Overall, a very positive experience and I would definitely recommend them.

Was really fast
Was really fast, quick service to support our customer in the South West who had an issue with a brand new truck. Had to be repaired under warranty so our customer needed a fast solution to continue with his business.

Great service, easy to book. We had to change date due to high winds at short notice but no problem.
Hand over was easy with instructions online. Needed to call the tech support but talked us through to get working.
Becky was really helpful.

Don’t use them
Don’t use them , got hire truck from them , broke down on middle off day , waiting 6 hours for service, didn’t finish my work , lost money . Contacted to refund or give me half day free to finish work. Complete ignore me . Get nothing back from them and end up rent from another company to finish job . So stay away , use smart platforms from Sutton , similar prices and much better trucks .
As roofer company definitely cannot recommend
