Telescopic Handler Attachment Hire in Brighton, Sussex
A jib, a muck grab or a bucket changes what a telescopic handler already on site can do next. Brighton stocks attachments sized to fit our hire range, checked and fitted on collection.
A machine already on hire rarely needs replacing just because the job has moved on. Tell our Brighton depot what the next task looks like and an attachment gets matched to it.
When the Job Changes, Change the Attachment
A build runs through phases, and a telescopic handler bought for pallet deliveries at the start of the week can just as easily end the week slinging steelwork on a jib.
A muck grab earns its keep clearing loose spoil, while a bucket covers bulk aggregate, and neither needs its own separate machine booked alongside the one already on site.
Rather than describing the attachment you think you want, describe what the machine needs to do next and let the depot work backwards to the right fitting. Our team keeps a note of which attachments a regular customer tends to need as a build progresses, which often speeds up the second half of the call.
Our Attachment Range
Our stock covers jibs, grabs, buckets and forks sized for most telescopic handlers we hire out. Every other hire service run from this depot sits on our Brighton Forklift Rental Service page, with weight and safe working load for each attachment, the jib included, set out on our Telescopic Handler Attachments collection.
A jib always drops the machine’s safe working load below its rating with forks fitted, which is worth checking against the load before anything is booked.
Ring 01273 596979 with the next task, and the right attachment travels out alongside the machine already on hire. A spare attachment can also travel out on the same delivery where the day’s work is likely to call for a second option later on.
Attachment Hire for Brighton and Sussex Sites
Groundwork further towards Worthing tends to swing between bucket work and grab work across the same week, as spoil leaves site and fresh material arrives off the coast road.
Seafront builds closer to Brighton more often need a single jib lift mid-morning, then forks again that same afternoon for a pallet delivery.
Lay out the week’s tasks in order rather than just the next one, so nothing needed later gets left behind at the yard. None of this is limited to the two towns named here, so a build anywhere else across Sussex is still worth describing to the depot. None of this is limited to the two towns named here either, so a build anywhere else across Sussex is still worth a call before ruling an attachment out.
What's Included With Every Attachment
Every attachment is test fitted before leaving the depot, ready to work on arrival with nothing further to set up on site.
A short safe working load guide for the jib or grab comes with it, and an operator unfamiliar with the attachment gets talked through the controls first.
Plans change overnight? Ring 01273 596979 and a different attachment gets sent out for the rest of the hire. A quick fitting check also confirms the pin and bracket match your exact machine, not just the general type of fitting. That same check gets repeated whenever a different machine comes into the job partway through, not just at the very start of the hire.
Why Choose Coppard
Fifty-four years fitting attachments to real machines across Sussex means fit gets checked before anything leaves our Brighton yard, not discovered on site.
Constructionline and CPA membership sits behind a flat rule: every attachment is checked before hire, so nobody is taking a chance on fit or condition once it arrives.
Ring 01273 596979 and describe where the job has moved to, and a clear answer on the right attachment and price comes back. None of that counts for much without a fit that is actually confirmed, which is the other half of what regular fitting work across Sussex buys a customer. Our depot team fits these to real machines most weeks, so a correct fit is routine for us rather than guesswork on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an attachment be added mid hire rather than at the start?
Yes — this is one of the more common calls the depot gets, since jobs rarely stay the same from first day to last. Describe what the machine needs to do next, and an attachment gets arranged to join the hire already running. Describing where the build has reached, not just the attachment name, usually gets the right answer back faster over the phone. The same conversation often throws up a second attachment worth booking at the same time, rather than a separate visit later on.
What safe working load applies with a jib fitted?
The safe working load drops once a jib replaces forks, with the exact figure depending on the machine and the reach used. The correct load chart comes with the jib, so your operator always lifts within the limit. Your operator should check the chart again whenever the load itself changes, not only when the boom length changes. A quick check of the telescopic handler’s hour meter at the same time also helps the depot keep its own maintenance log current.
Will an attachment fit any hired telescopic handler?
Most fit a standard carriage across our range, but it is worth confirming at booking stage. Name the machine already on hire, and the fit gets checked before anything leaves the yard. Tell us which machine is already on hire, and the fit gets checked against that specific model rather than a generic carriage size. Giving the depot notice before the machine changes, rather than after, usually means the right attachment is already on its way.
Do you deliver attachments to Worthing and Hove?
Both sit inside our normal Brighton delivery patch. The hire price already covers delivery, so the total cost is known before anything is booked. The hire price already covers delivery either way, so the total figure is known before anything gets confirmed. Give us your postcode and a slot for the attachment and machine together usually gets confirmed on the same call, with the price for both agreed before anything is sent out.
What UK rules cover telescopic handler attachments?
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 cover attachments used for lifting, jibs and grabs fitted to a telescopic handler included. Coppard checks every attachment before hire, with records kept on file. Coppard checks every attachment before hire, with records kept on file, so there is no separate inspection to arrange. That record sits alongside the depot’s own maintenance log for the machine, should a site ever ask to see its history.
