The Hirer shall permit access for the purpose of inspection, testing and maintenance to all Plant on hire. In placing this order, you confirm that the Plant quoted (with specification sheets provided) are suitable for application, to the best of your knowledge.
The security of any Plant remains your responsibility until it is collected by us or has been returned.
2 - DELIVERY IN GOOD ORDER

The Hirer shall be responsible for loading or unloading the Plant on site and for the provision of any lifting facilities required for loading or unloading on site. Test certificates are available for all items and will be issued with the delivery note; copies of examination reports are available on request.
3 - ON HIRE, OFF HIRE, AND CHARGING
The Plant is considered to be on hire when it is delivered to the Hirer and until it is collected from the Hirer. Should the Hirer arrange transit to and from LGH premises, then the Plant is deemed to be on hire at the time of leaving the LGH premises to the time of being returned and off-loaded back at the premises.
Minimum chargeable hire period is 1 week (Monday to Friday). Hires exceeding one week are charged on the number of additional days required, and charged at 1/5 of the weekly hire rate for each additional day and the full weekly rate for hires exceeding five additional days. Off hire of Plant MUST be requested in writing (via email) and will be confirmed with written receipt of an ‘off hire’ number.
If, for any reason, you wish to request a Stand Down or Hire Suspension, this must be requested via email to enquiries@lgh.co.uk at least 3 days prior to commencement of stand down/suspension.
