About Us


Express Hire, based in Poole , has been serving the building industry since 1990, and has worked hard to gain an enviable reputation for providing an excellent service to its customers.

Express Hire can supply a wide range of plant from wacker plates to 14 tonne excavators. When required, skilled plant operators, all of whom hold approved certificates, can be provided.

Our plant consists mainly of top market branded equipment, purchased by us from new. The quality and reliability of our machinery drastically reduces down-time on client’s sites. Our policy of regular investment, maintaining and expanding our fleet is our commitment to our clients that we will provide an efficient and fully operational plant hire service ensuring that our customers have their plant ready when and where they want it.

Express Hire's success can be measured by the fact that many of its clients come back time and time again.

In 2015 Express Hire introduced a new division of the business called Express Gases. Express Gases supply Adams Gas, Calor Gas, Hobbyweld Industrial Gases and we are the local agent covering Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and the surrounding areas for Air Products, supplying Industrial Gases to a variety of customers based from our gas yard at Bournemouth Airport. Visit www.express-gases.co.uk for more information. In 2018 we expanded the range of gases to include disposable helium cylinders supplied either with or without balloons.

We are also stockists for Fuel Box which includes Red Diesel, Kerosene, Hydraulic Oil, Engine Oil, AdBlue, Antifreeze all prepacked in disposable boxes.

Our Airport department has grown rapidly and we now have a large storage yard for Express Hire based at the Hurn site, making deliveries and collections to and from customers more productive.
