FTH Hire Group

FTH Hire Group A family run plant & tool hire business across the UK with 40 years of experience behind us.

A family business with almost 40 years of experience behind us, we have grown beyond recognition since our humble beginnings in the garden shed back in 1981! Since then we have moved to our current site in Invincible Road, Farnborough, opened a second branch in Guildford and taken over Action Digging Services. We are constantly looking to expand and update our range of products and have recently p

urchased new scissor lifts, boom lifts and track chippers, and added 8 tonne diggers to our fleet. Having been known as Farnborough Tool Hire for the past 30 years, we recently rebranded the company as FTH Hire Group to reflect the growth in the company and our vision for the future. FTH Hire Group supply hundreds of different product lines to tradesman, contractors and craftsman, as well as to the general public. Our hire range includes everything from drills to cement mixers, sanders to scaffolding towers and mowers to dumpers and we also stock a great range of consumables. We are able to offer a competitively priced, flexible delivery and collection service, please ask for prices. We approach our business with a sense of dedication and pride ourselves on the loyalty of our customers, many of whom keep coming back for the same competitive pricing and peerless after-sales support that they have come to expect. At FTH Hire Group we want our wealth of experience to work for you and pride ourselves on providing a personal service, backed by detailed technical and safety advice. All of our tools and plant are of the best quality and maintained to the highest standards by our in-house workshop team. We are constantly monitoring our pricing and stock levels to ensure that we can offer the best possible value for money and reliable service across our range of tools, plant and consumables. Ordering from FTH Hire Group is so easy – you can contact us through our website, by email or telephone or call into one of our branches where our experienced and friendly staff will be happy to discuss your requirements and offer advice where needed.

Our excavator might be tucked away on a compact site, but it's not going anywhere it shouldn't. Secured behind Heras fencing, precautions are taken against theft, vandalism and unauthorised access around the clock🔒

What a lot of people don't realise is that FTH isn't just your plant and tool hire supplier. We supply the security fencing too.

Plant theft and vandalism on site is a very real problem. Don't leave expensive equipment exposed. If you’re hiring plant and equipment from us, ask about adding fencing to your order. We'll make sure your kit, and your site, is covered.

Another full load on the road 💪

Our transport team is absolutely delivering - quite literally! Excavators, dumpers, boom lifts, multi-loaders…if it moves on a site, chances are one of our lorries has it loaded and is heading your way.

With our own dedicated fleet, we're never reliant on third parties to get your machine where it needs to be. We control the delivery, the collection and timeline, so when you need kit fast, we make it happen.

Now THAT’S what we call a scissor lift!

The FTH team in London were able to source and supply this 37m hybrid scissor lift for our client’s site in Brentford.

To mark our 45 year trading anniversary, we're looking back at some of the milestones that have shaped FTH into the business it is today.

May seems to be our month and who knows, 2026 might just have another announcement in store... 👀

📍 Farnham - May 2015
Our Farnham Hire Hub opened to meet growing demand, fleet capacity and expanded workshop facilities, giving customers better access across Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire via the surrounding road network.

📍 Basingstoke - May 2016
The acquisition of H&B Plant Hire became our 4th location, and we were growing fast. Since then, we've significantly expanded our plant, tool and equipment fleet here, with strong transport links via the M3/A33 serving Wi******er, Newbury and beyond.

📍 Horsham - May 2021
The acquisition of Kelsey Plant Hire extended our reach into Sussex and brought something new to the FTH fleet - electric and hybrid machines for the first time. Another close-knit family business, another perfect fit.

📍 Southampton - May 2022
Organic growth at its best. Our Southampton hub strengthened our presence along the south coast, bringing FTH's quality equipment and service to customers across Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Dorset.

📍 Chelmsford - May 2023
A landmark moment, the acquisition of Independent Hire became our 10th location, extending our footprint into Essex and sharpening our ability to support clients across the wider London area.

Here's to the next chapter. 🙌
