At FTH Hire Group, we’re here to help you beat the heat, stay productive and keep your staff safe with the right equipment. Here's how our summer-friendly tool and plant hire solutions can make a difference on your job.
Air-Con Needed in your Cab?
Working under the blazing sun is no joke. That’s why many of our excavators and telehandlers include air-conditioned cabs, ensuring you stay cool, focused and safe during the warm shifts.
Comfort matters, especially when operating heavy machinery in high temperatures.Hiring the latest, high specification machines with air-conditioning helps reduce fatigue and increases efficiency. If you would like to learn more about this or have any questions, feel free to contact your local hire hub team .
On-Site Cooling Fix
For site cabins, offices, temporary accommodation or even indoor renovation projects, our portable AC units offer a quick and easy way to maintain a cool environment. They’re easy to install and powerful enough to make a noticeable difference.

Hydration For The Equipment
When temperatures rise, both machines and landscaping spaces need water. Our towable and static water bowsers are ideal for a range of summer tasks:
• Topping up water levels in machines and equipment or pressure washers
• Watering gardens, outdoor spaces and landscaping projects
• Cleaning driveways, patios and tools
• Acting as a mobile plant waterer for estates or large garden areas
Tackle The Humidity
Summer construction often means dry ground and increased dust levels which make an impact in visibility, air quality and health on-site.
We offer Dustquip CannonMister units that are designed to manage air particles during the construction demolition, groundswork and site prep.
Contact your local hire hub team to learn more about these and to enquire about hiring for your site.
