Orbital Equipment is one of London’s most established plant hire companies, delivering reliable construction equipment hire solutions to contractors, developers, and groundwork teams across the capital. With more than 20 years of industry experience, we understand the demands of working in a busy urban environment — from tight site access to strict delivery windows — and we have the fleet, expertise, and logistics network to meet them every time.
Our plant hire range covers everything from compact mini diggers and micro excavators ideal for restricted-access sites, through to larger tracked excavators, dumpers, and specialist attachments suited to major civil engineering and groundworks projects.

We work with principal contractors, specialist subcontractors, local authorities, and private clients — all backed by the same commitment to quality and service.
