Hiring LGP Equipment: What to Expect
They handle much like their standard counterparts, with the wider footprint being the main difference. Reserve LGP machines before the wet season, as standard machines may be suitable in summer, but from October to March LGP equipment is often needed on clay-with-flints.

Frequently Asked Questions: Low Ground Pressure Equipment Hire in Brighton and West Sussex
What does LGP mean?
Low Ground Pressure. Wider tracks spread the machine’s weight over a larger area.
Can LGP work on lawns?
Yes. Grass-tyre variants are designed for lawns and sports pitches.
When do I need LGP?
Whenever the ground is soft, wet or sensitive. On clay-with-flints, LGP is often the best choice from October through March.
When should I use low ground pressure equipment?
Low ground pressure machinery is useful where standard equipment could sink, create deep ruts or compact soft, wet or sensitive ground. Wider tracks spread the machine’s weight over a larger area, but the ground condition, slope, drainage and machine load still need to be considered before work starts. AHDB’s practical guidance on soil compaction from machinery explains why wet soils are especially vulnerable to damage from heavy equipment. Tell Coppard’s Brighton team what work is required, the condition of the ground and the access available, and they can recommend suitable low ground pressure equipment to keep the project moving while reducing unnecessary ground damage.
