HSS Launches Onsite Hire Solutions

HSS Hire, the UK's award-winning tool and equipment hire company, has announced an innovative new hire solution that will see them setting up shop at customer's locations to help drive project efficiency as well as cost and environmental benefits.

With the new 'HSS Onsite' branded service, in addition to an established nationwide network of 250 branches and supercentres, HSS customers in both the UK and Ireland can now choose to hire tools and equipment from their very own HSS equipment and training facility.

HSS Onsite packages can be flexed up or down to suit the customers’ requirements, from a hot desk in a pre-existing building to a double-stacked structure with full stockholding and training capabilities. However, a typical 'Onsite' package would include a modular building housing shop facilities and an equipment storage area as well as personalised safety and directional signage. It would also include a minimum of one HSS colleague and a tailored range of resale and consumable items.


The concept ensures customers have easy and instant access to the best equipment and customer service, with enhanced efficiency and flexibility helping them to complete projects successfully, on time and on budget.

Key Account Director Fiona Perrin explained: "For customers working on a long-term or high-value project, the HSS Onsite service offers them the most efficient and cost-effective way to source tools and equipment. It helps drive the productivity of onsite projects whilst also maximising their environmental sustainability and improving health and safety."

HSS Onsite facilities are already located on projects including Shell Centre, Canary Wharf, National Tennis Centre and Westfield Stratford.

Deane Hudson, Director of Kier Retail, said: "We are delighted with this innovative onsite facility offer – not only do we get immediate access to mission-critical equipment but it’s has also added value by assisting with onsite training."

Dean Goodliffe, Regional Construction Director at ISG InteriorExterior, commented: "The challenging projects we deliver require support and service of the highest order from our supply partners. To this end we have engaged with HSS to provide some of our key projects with a service that benefits our onsite contractors and the project as a whole. We have been extremely impressed with the standard and flexibility of the service provided."
