South West Tool Hire has lived up to its tagline yet again; “Whatever you need, we can deliver.”
So when a customer needed a significant number of chainsaws for a long-term, 2 year hire, South West Tool Hire sourced and delivered the equipment without delay. This flexibility and dedication to fulfilling non-standard requirements makes South West Tool Hire the ideal partner for forestry and gardening professionals seeking reliable and high quality tools for long-term projects.
Tailored Equipment Solutions for Forestry and Gardening Projects
At South West Tool Hire, we understand that different projects demand different tools. From small scale gardening tasks to large forestry operations, we provide flexible hire terms and a wide range of equipment options to suit various needs. Whether you need gear for a single weekend or a multi-year contract, we will ensure you have access to the right tools.
Quality Equipment Delivered to Your Site: Chainsaws, Hedge Trimmers, and More
Our recent delivery features Stihl MS 261 C-M petrol chainsaws, selected for their professional-grade performance in forestry applications. Equipped with advanced STIHL M-Tronic technology, these chainsaws automatically adjust ignition timing and fuel metering based on external factors like temperature, altitude, and fuel quality. This ensures optimal engine performance, delivering maximum speed and acceleration even in challenging conditions.
Designed with forestry professionals in mind, they eliminate the need for manual carburettor adjustments. The cold/warm start recognition simplifies starting, requiring just one position on the combi lever, enabling quick starts and immediate acceleration.
Our services go beyond chainsaws; we also supply high-quality hedge trimmers for landscaping and gardening needs. The Stihl Light Hedge Cutter HS45-18 is a versatile tool for trimming large hedges with ease. It features a lightweight, compact design and a powerful 0.75 kW (1 bhp) 2-stroke engine, weighing just 4.7 kg. The 450mm (18-inch) double-sided blade enables smooth cutting from various angles, ideal for extensive landscaping work.
For added flexibility, an electric version is available. The electronic ignition ensures reliable starts every time, allowing you to shape hedges with precision, whether for intricate designs or routine maintenance.
