Charles Wilson is a specialised hirer of plant, tools and equipment with an extensive network of depots in the UK. Whether you are a local builder, a large contractor, or work on sets in the film industry, we hire out a wide range of equipment including small tools, access platforms, generators, and excavators.

Charles Wilson first opened its doors for trading from a single location in the Hertfordshire town of Harpenden in 1979, and has since continued to spread its good and reliable name in the plant hire industry. Forty years on we proudly remain a privately owned rental business and have expanded to 19 depots throughout the country.

We put our customers first, and are dedicated to providing the highest level of personalised service and professionalism. We are committed to investing in first class equipment from leading manufacturers such as JCB, Hitachi and Kubota and strive to provide both quality and value. Our many years of knowledge and expertise in the industry means we are able to support all your plant hire needs. 

Not only are we able to offer plant and tool hire countrywide, we also have divisions specialising in events, super silenced generators, materials handling, lifting, powered access, safety equipment, training, pumps, portable air conditioning and traffic management.
