Mammoth Hire, a provider of construction equipment rental services for businesses, leverages a nationwide network of over 2,000 locations made available through partnerships to swiftly supply site-specific equipment such as falsework systems.(as of January 2026)
This article summarizes the features of Mammoth Hire’s rental services and provides examples of rental equipment.
One of Mammoth Hire’s strengths is its expansive supply network. In addition to over 60 stores located throughout the United Kingdom, delivery is possible from more than 2,000 locations through partner companies. By maintaining a well-coordinated supply network, Mammoth Hire can consistently identify the closest depot and deliver the required equipment.(as of January 2026)
This enables Mammoth Hire to respond quickly to urgent material needs and helps reduce the risk of delivery delays.
Mammoth Hire offers a dedicated trade account that helps corporate customers streamline procurement. Opening an account enables customers to pay rental fees on 30-day terms and receive a single consolidated invoice each month.
Consolidating payment processes that were previously required for each project reduces the burden on accounting staff. This enables centralized cost management across multiple sites.
These steel vertical falsework props are used in construction and renovation sites. The props have an extendable structure that can be freely adjusted in height. They are used to temporarily support floor slabs, ceilings, openings, beams, and concrete formwork.
Mammoth Hire offers a lineup ranging from size 0 to size 4 (accommodating heights of approximately 1.04 to 4.88 meters). This allows clients to select the appropriate size according to the on-site ceiling height and the object to be supported. The safe working load varies depending on the size and is specified to range from approximately 700 to 1,700 kg.
These falsework props are primarily used to ensure safety during excavation work in civil engineering projects. Earth pressure is resisted by bracing both sides, preventing the side walls of ditches or trenches from collapsing.
The Trench Struts provided by Mammoth Hire are certified under applicable standards to have a maximum working load of 30 kN, helping satisfy the safety requirements for workers during excavation work.
Variations are available from size 0 to size 3 (compatible width approximately 0.3 to 1.74 meters), allowing selection according to the width of the trench to be excavated. These trench struts help prevent excessive pressure on trench side walls and reduce the risk of insufficient bearing capacity, allowing them to be installed with appropriate reaction forces.
