plant hire brand
Wacker Neuson
The bridge between tool hire and plant hire. A wacker plate is one of the most hired items in Britain, and the brand name is so tied to the product that people use it generically - which is worth noticing when you are deciding what to rank for.

How Wacker Neuson compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Wacker Neuson.
Wacker Neuson vs Belle
If you have hired a cement mixer in Britain it was probably a Belle Minimix. A focused light-equipment maker whose products are so standard in hire that customers name them rather than the machine type.
Wacker Neuson vs Altrad
A group rather than a single product line, best known in UK hire through Belle mixers and through scaffolding and access equipment.
Wacker Neuson vs Thwaites
If you have hired a site dumper in Britain, there is a good chance it was a Thwaites. A focused manufacturer rather than a full-line one, and that focus is why hire fleets keep buying them.
