LOLER & PUWER Compliance
Safe, compliant plant hire you can rely on

At Sims Plant Hire, safety is at the core of everything we do. We understand that construction, civil engineering, and groundworks sites require equipment that is not only reliable but also fully compliant with UK safety regulations.

That is why all of our plant hire equipment is maintained and inspected in line with LOLER & PUWER regulations. This ensures every machine we supply is safe, fit for purpose, and ready to perform on your site.

We take compliance seriously, so you can focus on your project with complete peace of mind.

This helps reduce risk on site and ensures all lifting operations are carried out safely and efficiently.

We ensure that all plant and machinery supplied by Sims Plant Hire is:
