One Depot. Every Machine You Need.
Equipment Rental Agency
Waiting on kit is costing you money. Whether you need a machine and operator together or equipment delivered straight to your site, our Crowborough depot gets the right plant to you quickly across Crowborough and East Sussex. Open a trade account and your next hire is one call away.
Crane Rental Agency
Contract lifting compliance is a minefield — get it wrong and your job stops. From the Crowborough depot you get CPCS-certified operators, full RAMS packs and lift plans on every crane job, so the liability sits with us and not with you. Mobile, crawler and spider cranes are available for lifting projects in Crowborough and across East Sussex.
Tool Rental Service
Hunting down the right tool from multiple suppliers wastes your morning. From the Crowborough depot you get power tools, compaction equipment, breaking and drilling gear and more — collected from our Crowborough depot or delivered directly to your site. Daily, weekly and long-term hire is available.
Construction Equipment Supplier
Need specialist construction machinery at short notice without the usual wait? Coppard stocks ground support, shoring, trench equipment and Slanetrac tracked machinery — and as the main UK importer for Slanetrac, you get direct access to the full range. Equipment is available for hire and sale from our Crowborough depot.
Forklift Rental Service
Tight access and awkward loads eat into your day when you have the wrong machine. From Crowborough you can hire counterbalance and rough terrain forklifts, or the JCB Teletruk — the ideal solution for narrow yards and confined sites where a standard forklift will not reach. CPCS operators are also available on request for forklift hire from our Crowborough depot.
Construction Machine Rental
Highway and civils work stalls when the right compaction or paving kit is not on site. Your Crowborough depot stocks rollers, pavers, planers, tracked carriers and full machine packages for road maintenance and civil engineering projects. Operators can also be supplied on request.
Crane Service
One paperwork gap on a crane job can shut your site down for the day. Coppard takes full responsibility for the lift — providing the method statement, RAMS documentation, lift plan and CPCS-certified operators on every job from our Crowborough base. From restricted-access lifts to major structural work, our Crowborough crane team manages the lift so you can focus on the project.
Air Compressor Supplier
Site work stops when your air supply lets you down. Coppard supplies diesel and portable compressors for breaking, drilling, sand blasting and general site use, with fast delivery available from our Crowborough depot. One call and we'll help get the right compressor to your site.
Hydraulic Equipment Supplier
The wrong attachment on the wrong machine costs you a day and a difficult conversation with your client. Coppard supplies hydraulic breakers, power packs, grabs, pulverisers and specialist attachments from the Crowborough depot, with expert guidance on machine compatibility included — so you get it right first time.

The Kit That Keeps Your Jobs Moving
Excavator Hire
The right excavator size makes or breaks a groundworks programme. Too small and you're double-handling; too large and you're paying for capacity you don't need. Coppard supplies well-maintained excavators from 1.5T to 35T+ with fast delivery from our Crowborough depot to sites across East Sussex. Call before 8am and we'll confirm same-day availability.
Dumper Hire
Moving spoil and aggregate by hand kills your day rate. Forward and swivel skip dumpers from 1T to 14T keep materials flowing across site without the delays. Coppard's machines are reliable, well-serviced and available for short or long-term hire from our Crowborough depot — no hidden extras, just kit on site when you need it.
Roller Hire
Poor compaction under tarmac or sub-base comes back to haunt you months later. Getting the right roller for the job — pedestrian or ride-on, single or twin drum — makes the difference between a finish that holds and one that doesn't. Coppard supplies compaction rollers for driveways, roads and larger sites across Crowborough and East Sussex, with same or next-day delivery available.
Plate Compactor Hire
Sub-base that isn't properly compacted will move — and your client will notice. Coppard's petrol and diesel plate compactors are lightweight, well-maintained and ready to go for day, week or longer hire. Available from our Crowborough depot, with same or next-day availability on many machines.
Wacker Plate Hire
Granular fills and sub-bases need proper compaction passes to perform — and the wrong machine slows the whole job down. Coppard supplies petrol and diesel wacker plates from our Crowborough depot for sites across East Sussex. One call and the right machine is on its way to your site.
Vibratory Plate Hire
Whether you're compacting a domestic driveway or a commercial sub-base, getting the right size vibratory plate matters. Coppard stocks various sizes from domestic to commercial specification, all maintained and ready to work. Available for delivery from our Crowborough depot across East Sussex with short-notice turnaround.
Rammer Hire
Cohesive soils and trench backfill need a rammer, not a plate — and getting this wrong leads to settlement that causes problems later. Coppard's petrol rammers are ideal for confined trenches and tight areas where larger compaction kit won't reach. Available at short notice from our Crowborough depot for projects across East Sussex.
Trencher Hire
Digging cable and pipe runs by hand or with an excavator costs time you haven't budgeted for. A chain or wheel trencher cuts narrow trenches faster and cleaner, leaving less reinstatement to deal with. Coppard supplies trenchers with operators from our Crowborough depot for utility and drainage projects across East Sussex — call to confirm availability for your next job.
Grader Hire
Getting a sub-base or road surface to level requires precision that most machines can't deliver. Motor graders with fine blade control are built specifically for finishing work on commercial and civil projects where tolerances matter. Coppard supplies graders from our Crowborough depot for projects across East Sussex where the finish has to be right first time.
Tractor Hire
Site maintenance, towing and groundwork tasks across larger plots need a machine that's versatile enough to take multiple attachments without changing kit every hour. Coppard's agricultural and utility tractors are available with a range of attachments for farms and estates across Crowborough and East Sussex. Short and long-term hire is available.
Agricultural Equipment Hire
Managing land without the right machinery turns a half-day job into a week of work. Coppard supplies harrows, cultivators, mowing equipment and more from our Crowborough depot for estates, farms and land-management projects across East Sussex. Trade accounts are available for regular seasonal hire.
Gardening Equipment Hire
Domestic and commercial grounds maintenance moves faster with the right powered kit. Coppard hires rotavators, lawn aerators, scarifiers and powered cultivators from our Crowborough depot for one-off jobs or regular seasonal use. Collection from the depot or delivery to site — whichever works for you.
Forestry Equipment Hire
Woodland clearance and land-management work calls for specialist machinery that most hire companies simply don't stock. Coppard supplies mulchers and clearing equipment built for the job from our Crowborough depot for woodland and land-management projects across the High Weald and East Sussex. Call to discuss the right machine for your site conditions.
Hedge Cutter Hire
Roadside, estate and agricultural hedges need the right reach and cutting capacity — a domestic machine won't cut it on commercial runs. Coppard supplies hydraulic and mechanical hedge cutters including Avant-mounted options for larger hedge-management jobs across Crowborough and East Sussex. Equipment is available at short notice from our Crowborough depot.
Water Bowser Hire
Dust suppression and compaction without a water supply on site means delays — unless you have the right bowser in place before work starts. Coppard supplies towed water bowsers from 500 to 10,000 litres for short and long-term hire, with fast delivery from our Crowborough depot across East Sussex. Same or next-day availability is possible on many sizes.
Fuel Bowser Hire
Running plant on remote sites without a safe fuel supply costs you time and creates compliance risk. Coppard's self-bunded fuel bowsers meet current safety requirements and are available in multiple capacities for on-site diesel storage and refuelling. Hire is available from our Crowborough depot for projects across East Sussex — call to confirm the right capacity for your fleet size.
Acrow Prop Hire
Temporary structural support during demolition and renovation needs to be right — under-propping is a risk you can't afford. Coppard supplies adjustable acrow props in multiple sizes for residential and commercial projects across Crowborough and East Sussex. Available at short notice with same or next-day delivery on standard sizes.
Trench Sheet Hire
Open trench walls are a legal liability on any site with workers below ground level. Coppard's steel trench sheets are sized for utility, drainage and groundworks applications and comply with current safety requirements. Various sizes are available from our Crowborough depot for delivery across East Sussex — call to confirm what you need before the dig starts.
Trench Prop Hire
Shoring a trench properly protects your workers and keeps the inspector happy. Coppard supplies hydraulic and mechanical trench props in multiple sizes for utility, drainage and groundworks projects across Crowborough and East Sussex. Available at short notice so your excavation programme doesn't stall waiting on equipment.
Tracked Carrier Hire
Soft, waterlogged or sensitive ground defeats a standard wheeled machine and causes site damage you'll spend days repairing. Coppard's tracked carriers spread the load across low ground pressure tracks, moving materials safely without rutting the surface. Multiple payload capacities are available from our Crowborough depot for projects across East Sussex.
Trailer Hire
Moving plant between sites without the right trailer means calling in a haulier and waiting. Coppard's plant and equipment trailers cover various sizes and payload ratings so you can move your own kit on your own schedule. Trailer hire is available from our Crowborough depot for equipment movements across East Sussex.
Utility Vehicle Hire
Large sites eat time when personnel and materials are moving on foot. Coppard's all-terrain site utility vehicles and buggies keep your gang productive across construction sites and estates without the wear on wheeled vehicles unsuited to rough ground. Short and long-term hire is available from our Crowborough depot.
Low Ground Pressure Equipment Hire
Standard machines on soft or waterlogged ground cause ruts that cost more to repair than the job was worth. Coppard's specialist low ground pressure machines are built to work where others can't — protecting sensitive ground while keeping your programme moving. Equipment is available from our Crowborough depot for groundworks across East Sussex.
Pump Hire
A flooded excavation or basement stops everything until the water is gone. Coppard supplies submersible, centrifugal and diaphragm pumps in diesel and electric for emergency and planned dewatering. Fast delivery is available from our Crowborough depot across East Sussex — we understand a pump problem can't wait until tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver plant and machinery in Crowborough?
How do I know which machine is right for my job?
The best machine will depend on what you need to do, how much material must be moved, the available access and the condition of the ground. A compact machine may be better for gardens, driveways and restricted sites, while larger equipment can complete substantial groundworks more efficiently. The Construction Plant-hire Association’s Plant Safety Group provides wider industry guidance on the safe selection and use of construction plant. Tell Coppard’s Crowborough team what the job involves, where the machine will be working and any access restrictions, and they can recommend suitable equipment rather than leaving you to guess.
Do I need a licence to operate hired plant machinery myself?
What is the minimum hire period?
Most plant hire is available on a half-day, full-day, or weekly basis. Weekly rates work out significantly cheaper than daily rates for jobs running longer than two or three days — typically three to four times the daily rate for a full seven days. Trade account customers get priority availability and flexible hire periods.
