Equipment for Hire
ILH Groundcare hires specialist arboricultural and groundcare machinery across Scotland.
Wood chippers, stump grinders, compact loaders, and robotic flail mowers, all serviced in our own workshop between hires and backed by a team who knows this equipment inside out.
We’re a specialist dealer, not a general plant hire company, which means the machine you get has been maintained by the same technicians who service and repair this equipment for a living.
Whether you’re a tree surgeon between machines, a landscaper taking on a clearance contract, a council grounds team needing extra capacity, or a contractor with a one-off job that needs specific equipment, we’ll match you to the right machine and have it ready for collection or delivery.

Why Hire Groundcare Equipment from ILH?
Scotland has plenty of places to hire plant and equipment. General hire companies, online booking platforms, and national chains all serve the market. The difference is what happens when you need more than just a machine dropped off.
Specialist fleet, specialist knowledge
We’re an arboricultural and groundcare machinery dealer. That’s all we do. Our hire fleet is the same equipment we sell and service, maintained by technicians who work on these machines every day.
When you call about a chipper, a grinder, or a loader, you speak to someone who can advise on which model and attachments suit the job. Try getting that from a general hire desk that books everything from scissor lifts to concrete mixers.
The right machine for the work
A 6-inch towable chipper for the garden clearance. A tracked 8-inch for the woodland contract. A pedestrian stump grinder for the domestic jobs and a tracked unit for the commercial site.
A Sherpa loader for the tight-access landscaping and a MultiOne for the contract that needs lifting height. We carry the range to match the machine to the work, and we’d rather send you the right equipment than whatever happens to be sitting in the yard.
Machinery serviced between every hire
Every machine goes through our Cumbernauld workshop before it leaves for the next job. Blades sharpened, hydraulics checked, engines serviced, attachments inspected. When you collect or take delivery, the machine is ready to work from the moment you start it.
That’s the difference between hiring from a dealer who services their own fleet and hiring from a company that just buys equipment and sends it out until it breaks.
Support throughout the hire
We walk you through the controls and attachment changes on handover, and phone support is available for the duration of the hire.
If something needs attention on site, you’re calling a team who knows the machine inside out and can talk you through it or get a replacement out quickly.
Trailer Hire Available
When hiring machinery from ILH, we have a range of trailer options available, giving you complete flexibility over where you use the equipment on site.
Get in touch to learn more about the trailers we have available as part of our equipment hire agreements.
Delivery across Scotland
Our Cumbernauld workshop sits just off the M80, within easy reach of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth, and the wider Central Belt. We deliver hire equipment across Scotland, from the Borders to the Highlands.
You can also collect from our workshop if you’d prefer to transport the machine yourself. Daily, weekly, and longer-term rates are available, with better pricing on extended hires for ongoing contracts.
