One machine that goes where tractors cannot,
carries 740 kg in the cargo tray and accepts interchangeable attachments for spraying, spreading and gritting.
The Kubota RTV 1100 is available from our Crowborough depot at £80 per day or £300 per week — with full 4WD and a hard cab as standard.
Utility Vehicle Hire Fleet -- Kubota RTV 1100 Configurations
We hire the Kubota RTV 1100 as a base machine or pre-fitted with one of three working attachments. All configurations use the same cab unit with the attachment mounted on the rear cargo platform.
For attachment configurations, call our Crowborough depot on 01892 662 777 to confirm availability and agree the rate for your specific requirements and hire period.
What Can You Use a Utility Vehicle For?
The RTV 1100 sits in the gap between a 4WD pickup and a compact tractor — it is more capable off-road than a pickup, quieter and more manoeuvrable than a tractor, and practical in spaces where neither fits comfortably.
If you have a specific job in mind and are unsure which configuration suits it, describe the task to our Crowborough team and we will recommend the right setup.

Utility Vehicle Hire for Farms and Estates Across the High Weald
The High Weald is characterised by steep wooded ghylls, sunken lanes, clay soils and narrow field gateways. It is terrain that rewards a compact, capable machine over a large one.
The RTV 1100 at 1,524 mm wide fits through most field gates and many woodland ride access points. Its hydrostatic drive gives precise low-speed control on steep banks — useful on the typical High Weald topography of short, sharp slopes that break up otherwise manageable ground.
For estate keepers and farm managers, the sprayer configuration is frequently hired in late summer and autumn for bracken and ragwort control, and again in spring for hedge base treatment. Combining the machine hire with our agricultural tractor and power harrow — for the same project on areas of improved grassland — is a common arrangement for customers in the Crowborough, Uckfield and Heathfield areas.
Winter gritting is a recurring requirement on farms and estates with elderly residents or significant vehicle movements on internal tracks. The RTV and Snowex SP3000 combination handles these routes efficiently without committing a full tractor to the task.
We regularly supply utility vehicle hire to customers across Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, East Grinstead, Heathfield, Wadhurst, Forest Row and Tonbridge. Same-week delivery available from our Crowborough depot across East Sussex and Kent.
Utility Vehicle Hire for Contractors in Kent and Surrey
For groundworks and civil engineering contractors, the bare RTV 1100 is the most useful configuration. It acts as a site transport vehicle — moving small loads, carrying operatives between work areas and delivering tools and materials to locations that wheeled dumpers cannot easily access.
Unlike a dumper, the RTV has a fully enclosed hard cab and road-legal lights, which means it can be moved between adjacent work areas on private roads without requiring a separate transport vehicle. The 740 kg payload handles a typical day’s worth of hand tools, pipe fittings and aggregate bags in a single run.
Contractors working in the wooded and rural areas of Kent and Surrey — particularly on utility installation, drainage renewal and estate development projects — use the RTV where the access is too confined or the ground too soft for a standard wheeled dumper to operate reliably. The 4WD system and higher ground clearance maintain mobility in conditions that leave narrow-wheeled machines spinning.
For projects that require both plant hire and a utility vehicle, both can be placed on the same Coppard account with a single weekly invoice — reducing administration and keeping all plant costs on one statement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Utility Vehicle Hire in Crowborough and East Sussex
Do I need a driving licence to operate the Kubota RTV 1100?
Can the RTV 1100 tow a trailer?
How wide is the RTV 1100 -- will it fit through my field gates?
When is a site utility vehicle better than using a van or carrying materials by hand?
A utility vehicle is useful on large, rough or soft-ground sites where a road van may struggle and carrying tools or materials by hand wastes time. Side-by-side vehicles can transport equipment, small loads and site personnel between work areas, provided the selected model has the required seating and payload capacity. Official guidance on side-by-side utility vehicles explains that these machines are designed for varied off-road conditions but must still be matched to the terrain and used within their limits. Tell Coppard’s Crowborough team how many people or what materials need moving, the journey distance and the ground conditions, and they can recommend a utility vehicle that will keep the site moving efficiently.
