Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again

- Home backup during short outages or for self-build sites
Why hire rather than buy
Hiring the Pramac E4000 from Breckland Plant Hire makes sense for most tradespeople and DIYers. You avoid the upfront cost, ongoing maintenance, insurance and storage issues of ownership. Hire also gives you flexibility — get the kit for the exact length of the job, whether that’s a single weekend or a full week. As a family-run, CPA-member depot we offer delivery within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham, plus free collection if you prefer to pick up. Trade accounts receive exclusive discounts.
Operator & safety notes
- For outdoor use only — always run the generator in a well-ventilated area away from doors and windows to avoid carbon monoxide risks.
- Keep clear of flammable materials and ensure the unit is on level, stable ground.
- Allow the engine to cool before refuelling; take care with fuel and store it safely.
- Use suitable, undamaged cabling and, where required, an RCD or portable residual-current device on site circuits.
- Do not connect directly to a building’s electrical installation without a qualified electrician and an appropriate isolation or transfer switch.
- Observe general PPE on site — ear protection, gloves and eye protection when using powered tools.
