Skid Steer Attachment Hire in Reading, Berkshire
A town-centre site rarely needs the same attachment two days running. Our Reading depot matches the fitting to the task, from clearing debris in the morning to breaking concrete by the afternoon.
Matching the attachment to the day, not the machine, keeps a skid steer busy across a varied site. Our Reading depot swaps fittings as the task actually changes.
A Multi-Trade Day Needs Several Fittings
A town-centre redevelopment site can run sweeper work first thing. It can then switch to a breaker once old flooring is exposed, then move to forks for the afternoon delivery, all on the same skid steer.
Hiring three separate machines for that single day rarely makes sense, especially where access only allows one machine on site at a time.
Swapping the attachment through the quick-hitch system instead keeps one machine working the whole day. Tell the depot the rough order of tasks expected, and the attachments can be sent out together or on a planned schedule. A simpler single-task job rarely needs this range of kit, but a redevelopment site running clearance, breaking and material handling in the same week usually does, and planning the order in advance avoids a wasted trip for an attachment not yet needed.
Our Skid Steer Attachment Range
Our Reading stock covers sweepers, breakers, forks and trenching buckets, built to fit the skid steers already in our fleet. Every other hire service run from this depot sits on our Reading Forklift Rental Service page, with fitting details for each attachment set out on our Skidsteer Attachments collection.
Describe the tasks expected across the day and our team can usually suggest which attachments to send out together.
Ring 0118 979 2828 and a set matched to your Berkshire site gets booked on that same call. Trenching buckets for service runs are also available where a job moves into groundworks after the initial clearance stage is done. This keeps the full set ready without needing a second delivery later.
Skid Steer Attachment Hire for Reading and Wokingham Sites
Town-centre redevelopment work tends to need the widest spread of attachments, since clearance, breaking and material handling often happen within the same week.
A simpler groundworks job further out might only need a bucket and forks across its whole length, without the breaker or sweeper ever being required.
Mention how varied the work actually is, since that decides whether a full attachment set travels out together or just the one or two needed for a simpler job. Mentioning the rough proportion of each task, mostly clearance versus mostly breaking, also helps our team decide which attachments to send as standard and which to hold back as a contingency. A written running order also helps where more than one crew is involved.
What's Included With Every Attachment
A fitting check and a short walk-round happen with every attachment, whichever one is going onto the skid steer that day.
Hoses, pins and quick-hitch brackets are included in the hire price, and ordinary wear through the job is never charged for separately.
Need an attachment swapped faster than planned because the site has moved on? Ring 0118 979 2828 and the depot will usually bring a replacement forward rather than leaving the machine idle waiting for its original slot. A worn cutting edge on a breaker point is also replaced as part of routine maintenance between hires, not charged to the customer as extra wear. This is standard practice across every attachment in the Reading range.
Why Choose Coppard
Fifty-four years hiring plant across Berkshire has put our Reading depot into enough multi-trade sites to know that one machine with the right set of attachments usually beats hiring several separate ones.
Membership of Constructionline and the CPA sits alongside a flat rule: nothing leaves our yard without being checked and logged first.
Ring 0118 979 2828 for a straight answer on price and availability. Nobody here pushes a booking before you are ready to make one. Keeping one machine working through several tasks usually costs less across a week than hiring separately for each one. That flexibility tends to matter most where a single site visit needs several different tasks completed before the machine can leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hire several attachments for one machine?
Yes, this is one of the more regular requests our Reading depot handles on multi-trade town-centre sites. Describe the tasks expected across the day or week, and a suitable set of attachments gets suggested from the Reading range. Sending them out together usually works out simpler than booking each one separately. A rough running order for the week, even an approximate one, helps our team plan which attachments arrive together and which follow later.
How quickly can attachments be swapped on site?
The quick-hitch system on our skid steers allows a fast change between attachments without needing tools. Ring 0118 979 2828 if a different attachment is needed sooner than planned, and the depot will usually bring the replacement forward rather than waiting for the next scheduled slot. A spare set of pins is kept on most deliveries as well, since losing one on a busy site should never be the reason a swap is delayed.
What attachments suit a town-centre clearance job?
A sweeper for debris, a breaker for old flooring or concrete, and forks for material handling cover most of what a redevelopment clearance needs. Describe the stage the job is at and a suitable attachment from the Reading range gets confirmed for that stage. A trenching bucket can also be added where the clearance job moves into laying a service run partway through. This also applies where the trenching bucket is added partway through.
Do attachments add much to the hire cost?
Attachment hire is usually priced alongside the skid steer rather than as a large separate cost. Confirm the full set needed when booking, since pricing several attachments together is usually more straightforward than adding them one at a time during the job. Booking the full expected set at the start, even if some arrive later, usually works out simpler than negotiating each one as the job progresses.
What UK rules cover using skid steer attachments?
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 set out duties for equipment used at work, which covers attachments fitted to a skid steer. Coppard checks and records every attachment before hire, so that side is sorted before it leaves our yard. Fitting should always be checked after a swap, before the next task begins. This applies to every attachment in the range, not only breakers.
