Built for the
South West
4 Counties Hire was founded with a straightforward idea: contractors and farmers in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset deserve a hire company that actually understands their work. Not a national outfit that treats every booking like a transaction, but a local team with the right fleet, a proper understanding of South West terrain, and the flexibility to get equipment to you when you need it.
We cover everything from compact excavators and telehandlers to grounds care equipment, forestry machinery, warehouse solutions, and event hire. Our fleet is maintained to a high standard and our team knows every machine we send out. When you call us, you speak to someone who can actually help — not a booking agent reading from a screen.
“We wanted to be the hire company we’d want to call ourselves — fast, honest, and on your side when something goes wrong.”
— The 4 Counties Hire team, Okehampton
Operating from our depot in Okehampton, we’re well placed to cover the whole of Devon quickly, and reach Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset with ease. Whether you need a machine for a day or a rolling Flex Hire account for ongoing work, we’ll sort it.
Okehampton, Devon — our base, right in the heart of the South West.
What We
Stand For.
Real People, Real Answers
Every enquiry goes straight to a member of our team who knows the fleet. No scripts, no ticket systems — just a genuine conversation about what you need.
Equipment You Can Rely On
Every machine leaves our depot serviced, fuelled, and ready to work. We'd rather delay a delivery than send out something that's going to let you down on site.
On Time, Every Time
Your day starts when the machine arrives. We take delivery windows seriously and keep you updated if anything changes. Reliability isn't a nice-to-have — it's the job.
Transparent & Fair
Clear pricing, no hidden charges, and no nasty surprises on the invoice. We'll always tell you what something costs before we commit it — including delivery.
Flexible by Design
Day hire, week hire, long-term rental, or our rolling Flex Hire account — we shape the arrangement around your workload, not the other way round.
A Team That Stays
We're not a revolving door of agency staff. The people you deal with today will be here when you call back next month. Relationships matter to us.
