Partners and sub-hire
You are a general hire company or an installer, and your customers are asking you for a storage solution you do not have in your fleet.
What triggers it
A customer request outside your catalogue, a tender that calls for storage, or a one-off need you do not want to tie up capital in.
- Usual duration
- According to your own customer's contract.
- Hire unit
- By agreement, on terms distinct from a direct hire.
What you need to know
- It is a different contract, a different contact and different terms: this channel is not handled through the ordinary quote form.
- The first thing to settle is the chain of responsibility: who delivers, who connects, who attends an incident, and who appears on the certificate of insurance handed to the project owner.
- A partnership enquiry is dealt with directly. Write to us and say so in the first line, and we will not put you through a end-customer journey.
Supply in five stages
- 01
The call
Who: You and our hire manager
What: You describe what you need to power, over what period, and with what connection already in place. In that same conversation we tell you whether this is a case for a hired battery, or a case for something else.
- 02
The survey
Who: Our engineer, on site or from drawings
What: Heavy goods vehicle access, ground bearing capacity, available footprint, means of unloading, distance to the connection point. On a straightforward site, a drawing and photographs are enough.
- 03
The delivery
Who: Our haulier
What: The equipment arrives, it is unloaded and set down in the agreed position. The outgoing condition report is signed at that moment.
- 04
The connection
Who: Our engineer, with your electrician
What: Connection, energisation, checking of protective devices, load test. You leave with the procedure to follow and the number to call.
- 05
The collection
Who: Us
What: De-energisation, disconnection, removal, incoming condition report. The hire ends when the equipment is collected, not when you call.
When it is not the right answer
If your customer can deal with us directly and you have no interest in carrying the contract, we will say so rather than sell you a pointless middleman.
