We’re proudly supporting the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal! Next time you’re popping in for boots, cable ties, or heavy machinery, please remember to bring a bit of loose change for your poppy. ❤

💦 Weather Update: It looks like the summer rain is arriving later this week. We have pumps and sandbags ready in the yard just in case—let's hope the forecasts are wrong!

Demand for our plant equipment, especially excavators and telehandlers, has be massive lately. To make sure you get the right kit exactly when you need it, we highly recommend planning ahead. While we always love a challenge and will do our absolute best to sort out those "first thing in the morning" requests that arrive at 4:00pm, a little extra notice helps no end. If you have an upcoming job, give our team a call today and we'll gladly get you pencilled into the diary!

🌞 Weather update & autumn shifts! 🍂

The weather is holding up beautifully for the next week or so, though there’s a little hint of a scattered shower or two on the horizon (subject to change, as always!). 🌦️

Have you noticed how quickly the days are drawing in? By the end of this month, the clocks go back, and that’s when it really starts to feel like winter is just around the corner.

With the colder months in mind, we are down to the very last of our Durstons compost. If you need to bed your plants down in the greenhouse or top dress a border or two before the frost hits, now is the time to grab it!
As the compost moves out, the coal is coming back in! It’s not quite on the shop floor just yet, but it is available if you're already starting up a cosy evening fire. 🔥

Then there’s that final, ultimate sign that summer is leaving us: swapping the shorts for trousers! A few brave souls among us are still hanging on, but most have finally dug the winter wardrobe out. If you find your gear needs an update this year, we’ve got plenty of comfortable trousers, fleeces, and coats in stock.

Down in the plant yard, things are buzzing! Our machines are out working hard more than they're in the being cleaned, which is absolutely fantastic. We love being able to help you out and meet your needs—whether your project is big or small!

Pop in and see us this week!

🍁 Summer might be packing its bags, but our 40th-anniversary digger is just getting started!

Fresh off her summer show tour, she’s officially joining the hire fleet today and heading straight out to do what she does best.

🛠️ We want to track her adventures, and we need your help!

Let’s play "Where’s Wally?" — Digger Edition:

📸 Spot her on a job site or cruising by on our lorry?
🏷️ Snap a photo, tag us, and use our tag:

If we get enough sightings, we’ll build an end-of-year map tracking everywhere this little machine has travelled. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀

What a great day we had at Kington Show on Saturday, with a good range of our machinery on show and a b**r fridge that was a little too chilly🥶for the weather, it was great to chat to customers new and old, celebrating what has been a great 40 years in business! Once again our "guess the balloons in the cab" competition was very popular and we had 3 correct guesses, with 74 balloons! But there can only be one winner... Lucy Baker, we will be in touch😎

With the shows now done for this year, our 40th anniversary special Takeuchi UK TB325R will now start heading out on hire, keep your eyes peeled...

🍁 Autumn is officially here, and while the rainy window views are rolling in, we’ve got some fantastic news: the weekend forecast is looking bright!

Catch us out and about next Saturday (12th September) at the wonderful Kington Show (https://www.facebook.com/kingtonshow). Drop by for a friendly chat, whilst supporting a brilliant local tradition, and enjoy a great day out.

Still looking for more weekend fun? Keep the momentum going by joining us at the Leominster Vintage Day over at Barons Cross!

See you there! 🚜✨

NB - the kit is still clean and good to go, and it looks good in the rain🙂

As summer starts to wind down and the autumn rain is on its way, it’s time to start thinking about those autumn jobs! 🍂🌧️

Whether it’s tidying up hedges before winter, clearing drainage channels, securing gates or tackling those jobs you’ve been putting off, there’s always plenty to get done!

And as the shorts slowly make their way back into the drawer, it might be time to check your work trousers too! 👖

We’ve just had a new stock of work trousers arrive, so if yours are looking a little worse for wear, pop in and take a look.

🤩40 YEARS OLD TODAY!🤩

Back in 1986, on the 14th of August, Arrow Plant Hire was incorporated, Martin and Peter were free of grey hairs, and with a small amount of machinery around them, they decided to give plant hire a go. 40 years, and a lot of grey hairs later, we are celebrating our busiest year to date🥵

As a birthday present to ourselves, we have just taken delivery of two very smart, new Manitou MT730H 7 metre, 3 ton lift telehandlers, to bolster our ever growing hire fleet. There is a rumour however that Martin and Peter just fancied a low down, easily accessible vehicle each to assist with their mobility when the time comes... Have fun getting one of these around a coffee morning🤭

Fancy one of these shiny machines on your site across the West Midlands? Give us call to get it booked in!

🌑🔭Well, now this is something we don’t see every day! 🌑🔭

We hope you all managed to enjoy the solar eclipse and, most importantly, that the clouds behaved themselves when it mattered most! 😎

Here at Arrow Plant & Tool Hire, we were lucky enough to capture a few photos. Unfortunately, the clouds decided to arrive at exactly the wrong moment, blocking our view of maximum coverage… but they did add a rather dramatic touch to the pictures! ☁️🌒

A little bit of science for you: a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow across parts of our planet. It’s an amazing bit of celestial choreography — even if the British weather sometimes decides to put on its own show! 🌍🌙☀️

📸 With the camera set up and ready to go, we had plenty of shots to choose from, so here are a few of our favourites.

And if you missed it, don’t worry — the next solar eclipse visible from Herefordshire will be on 2 August 2027. It will be a partial eclipse, with around 50% of the Sun covered at maximum, occurring at roughly 9:58am. So, plenty of time to get the camera ready… and keep an eye on those clouds! ☀️☁️

Did you manage to get a good view? 👀

We had a great day at Tenbury Show over the weekend celebrating 40 years in business. It was great to see existing and new customers and showcase a small range of our machinery, including our 40th anniversary show piece that we finally unveiled... The Takeuchi UK TB325R looks amazing in its retro paint job, in a throwback to the very early days, when we painted most machines in this way and a mechanic almost came free with the machine on hire!🤣 Thankfully the paint work is the only thing replicated here, and we cant wait to see it going out to customers in the very near future!

As for our "guess the ballons" in the digger cab competition, the answer was 93. Guessed correctly by two people on the day, but there can only be one winner! Jake Harris, we will be in touch to organise getting you your goody bag!
