CR Reynolds Chooses Fairfax As Reliable Partner at Queen’s Gardens.

Fairfax Supports CR Reynolds with Reliability and Excellence at Queen’s Gardens - Hull

Overview

As part of the ambitious redevelopment of Queen’s Gardens in Hull, our client needed reliable, fast access plant hire to keep the project on schedule and on budget. With the work requiring a broad mix of machinery from compact to large excavators and high-reach telehandlers, we stepped in to supply a versatile fleet with professional operator support.

The Challenge

Queen’s Gardens is a high-profile open public space undergoing major transformation. The site
required tight coordination and zero tolerance for delays or downtime. With restricted access and tight
urban logistics, plant delivery and collection needed to be prompt and flexible.

Our Solution

We supplied a comprehensive range of plant, including:

  • Excavators from 2.7T to 20T – ideal for trenching, grading, and heavy lifting in confined areas
  • Dumpers from 2T to 9T – suited for different activities and material movements across the site
  • Telehandlers from 6m to 14m reach – providing excellent versatility for lifting pallets, bulk
    materials, and unloading of shipping containers.
  • Operated Plant – ensuring plant, small tools and machinery ran safely and efficiently by trained
    professionals ☀️

With depots strategically located in Hull, Leeds and Selby, plant deliveries were quickly dispatched and collected
on-demand, often within hours. This helped our client stay on track during critical phases of the project.

Results

Zero Downtime – No interruptions thanks to reliable, well-maintained machines and rapid
response service.
On-Time Delivery – All equipment delivered exactly when needed, with flexible changeovers.
Full Client Satisfaction – Smooth coordination between site management and our team.
High Impact – Our kit supported earthworks, landscaping, and paving installation activities
throughout.

We use Fairfax plant because, once we’ve decided what type of plant we require, it’s a simple phone call or an email away. Delivery is always on time to suit our programme of works.
Any issues with the plant, the reaction time is also very quick with fitters arriving to site, literally within the same day. Any off hired plant is collected quickly to free up space on site and the plant that comes is in extremely good condition. They’re basically a one stop shop for all tools & plant required for the works.
