Hiab hire in Bolton
Bolton is about half an hour up the M61 from our yard, which makes it one of the towns where a same-day hiab is genuinely realistic rather than something a haulier says on a website.

The work
What we do in Bolton
Most of what we do in Bolton is construction and industrial: steel and material deliveries onto sites around the town centre and Middlebrook, site accommodation into compounds, and plant moved between depots. A fair amount of it is on older industrial estates where the units were built for a rigid and not for an artic, so the useful question at the enquiry is usually about the gate rather than the load.
The other thing worth knowing is the ground. A lot of Bolton sits on made ground and old workings, and a stabiliser leg concentrates a great deal of force into a very small square. If the standing position is anything other than sound tarmac or concrete, tell us and we will bring the pads to suit it.
Being close helps in a way that is easy to underestimate: if a job overruns or a delivery slips, a vehicle half an hour away can be re-planned. One three hours away cannot.

Common questions
Hiab hire in Bolton, answered
Do you actually cover Bolton?
Yes, and the photographs on this page are from jobs we have done there rather than stock images. A forty foot by twelve foot office with a kitchen and toilet delivered to a scaffolding contractor in Bolton, set down in the yard and then stacked over a container. Where we can show the work, we show it.
How quickly can you get there?
It depends on the day and what is already committed, but the area is regular rather than exceptional for us. There is no minimum booking notice. Email with the date and we will tell you straight away whether it is achievable, rather than take the booking and work it out later.
What does a job like that cost?
It is priced by the job, not by the mile. Vehicle size, how far out the load has to be placed, the access and the time on site move the number far more than the distance does. Everything that changes a hiab price is set out on the cost page, and you do not need to know any of those figures to ask us for one.
Where do you run from?
Our yard is at Miles Platting in Manchester - one site, our own vehicles and our own ALLMI trained driver / operators, rather than work farmed out to a local sub-contractor we have never met. Bolton is regular running for us, and jobs are priced by the job rather than by the mile, so the distance from the yard is not a line on your quote.
