Stihl hire fleet lease?

[dougharding]

Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone on hear new if this sort of hire fleet exist .

 

I have a few friends in the building trade and they lease power tools from Hilti for a 3 year lease. ( 1x sds hammer drill & 1x nail gun= £30 a month with insurance etc).

The policy works you lease the tools for 3 years and after the term you give them back or renew the policy with new equipment. If any tools brake you ring Hilti they send you a replacement the following day and collect urs and repair your tools for free as your insured .

Now I was wondering if any one new if stihl do this type of service for Arb work etc as this could be worth looking into.

Iv never heard of Stihl ever doing it especially direct. I know husky have supplied direct in this manner to local authorities up our way though.

That's £1080 over three years, sounds like a winner if you use and need that sort of quality of tool every single day.

 

Can't see Stihl doing similar though!

Sounds like its basically contract hire. Check with your local hire shop, speedy or hss for example.

Hey there,

 

Not sure if Stihl do this direct, but hire companies such as Acacia Groundcare offer long term lease on equipment, and professional equipment companies will provide good brands such as Stihl. Acacia provide servicing for all hire equipment similar to that which you have mentioned.

 

If you need some on hire and you are in London/South England, give Acacia a call (01273 494939), we have a range of Stihl equipment that can be taken out with a flexible long term hire agreement.

I know someone who has a Stihl polesaw and a Stihl strimmer on long-term hire with HSS Hire. I don't know the full terms but sounds like the deal with Hilti. I know if there's any problems, he just rings HSS Hire, they come make an exchange and the repair/exchange is part of the deal, with no extra costs.

 

Just had a look on their website. It appears amongst others, they hire shredders, chippers, chainsaws, polesaws, both short & long reach hedge-trimmers, mowers & blowers.

 

But the chainsaws, short reach hedge-trimmers & shredders are electric. While the chippers, polesaws, long reach hedge-trimmers, mowers & blowers, are petrol.
