You don’t need Weetabix to fuel your project

Weetabix may help you start your day healthy, but it won’t excavate your site or lift workers 40 metres into the air. Instead of only relying on the Northampontshire-founded cereal to kick your project into gear, call us at Rockthorn instead. We’ll supply the plant you need, from power supplies to articulated boom lifts, to get your site in motion.

Why choose Rockthorn?

Plant hire services for historical discoveries

We’re on hand with the best plant around, ready to equip you with machinery, welfare units, generators and more, with or without operators to get the gear running. We’re experts at assisting Northamptonshire construction with our plant, but that’s not all the county is known for.

 

Rich in history, this county is home to some highly significant archaeological finds over the years, including a recent discovery of a 4000-year-old centre of ritual activity. You can find all sorts of things when prepping for new housing! If you’re setting out on a dig into the past, our plant hire services will help. We’ll supply what you need to discover this county’s history safely and efficiently.

New housing for Wellingborough

In Wellingborough, we supplied plant to construction sites working in the Glenvale Park housing development. Our truck-mounted boom lift helped with the decorative installation, and we arranged for an expert operator for the machine to join the site’s team.

Digging trenches in Moulton

To prepare for new construction in Moulton, we supplied a developer-led archaeological team with excavators and dumpers. Alongside these, we provided the workers with security facilities, fuel for the equipment, and expert operators to run the plant. Alas, no dinosaur bones were found, but the team got the job done for construction to begin.

Building homes

Another housing development job, we’re always happy to help when it comes to creating new homes in Northamptonshire. We supplied a construction team on the Burdock Street site in Weldon with a truck-mounted boom lift, complete with an expert operator to use it.
