What this category covers
Our building equipment hire category covers temporary access and site equipment that smaller builders, trades and homeowners need on a short-term basis without going through a national hire chain. It complements our scaffolding category — when a full scaffold is over-spec, a tower or a set of props is usually the right answer.
Typical hires are aluminium scaffold towers for painters, electricians and surveyors; Acrow props and strongboys for opening-up works; edge protection for flat-roof jobs; staircase towers for renovations; and small access platforms for ceiling, signage or fascia work.
Where the larger national hire desks treat a one-week tower hire as a low-priority order, we treat it as a relationship — clean kit, on time, demonstrated on delivery if needed, and collected when you're done rather than when the system gets round to it.

Aluminium scaffold towers, Acrow props, strongboys, edge protection systems, ladder beams, staircase towers and trestle systems. Weekly hire, delivered and collected within our service area, with on-site demonstration available for first-time users.
Browse equipment hireWhen a tower or props won't do the job, our erected scaffold hire is the next step up — supplied, designed, built and inspected by our own scaffolders rather than dry-hired to you to put up yourself.
Compare with erected scaffold hireWhy Spartan
Equipment hire is one of those categories where the product is roughly the same everywhere — what differs is whether it turns up on the right day, in the right condition, with the right paperwork. We've designed the service around exactly those three things, because they're the only things that matter when you've got trades booked.
Most of our hire customers are repeat trades who use us because we answer the phone and don't lose hire returns in a national depot system.
Every tower, prop and platform is checked and tagged before it leaves us — no chasing missing components on site.
Our own van and driver, scheduled to your time slot, not a four-hour window with a third-party courier.
Plain weekly rate, no surprise insurance loadings, no minimum-hire trap on common kit.
First-time tower user? Our delivery driver can walk you through the safe build sequence on handover.
How we work
Call or message with the job — we'll spec the right tower height, prop rating or edge-protection length rather than over-selling.
Same-day quote with weekly rate, delivery cost and any inspection requirements. Booked once you confirm.
Kit arrives clean and inspection-tagged; driver runs through the safe assembly if it's your first time using it.
One call to off-hire — we collect within 48 hours and stop the hire clock the day you call, not the day we collect.
Service area
Equipment hire is delivered across our core service area — Hertford, Braintree, Harlow, Cambridge and the wider Essex / Suffolk / east Hertfordshire region. Longer-distance deliveries are quoted individually on the day of booking.
