Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
Belt Sander — rapid stock removal and surface prep
Our heavy-duty Belt Sander is available for hire now from the Breckland depot. Built for tradespeople who need fast material removal, it’s ideal for sanding decking, doors, timber joists and levelling uneven boards before finishing.
What this machine does
The belt sander is a powerful handheld sander designed to remove material quickly and flatten timber surfaces. Unlike orbital sanders, it’s made for aggressive stock removal and straight-line sanding — perfect for renovating wooden floors, prepping timber for paint or removing old coatings.
Jobs it’s suited for
- Level out rough-sawn decking boards and planks
- Strip paint and varnish from doors, stairs and banisters
- Prepare timber frames and joists for joinery or finishing
- Rapid removal of excess material before planing or routing
Key specs & features
- High-torque motor for fast belt feed and sustained performance
- Adjustable belt tracking and quick-change belt system for minimal downtime
- Dust extraction port — connect to a site vacuum for cleaner working
- Ergonomic handle and variable speed control for control on different timbers
- Supplied with a selection of abrasive belts (coarse to fine) to match the task
Why hire this belt sander rather than buy?
Most trades only need a belt sander for short bursts or occasional renovation work. Hiring from Breckland Plant Hire gives you access to professional-grade kit without the cost of purchase, maintenance or storage. You get a service-ready machine with fresh belts and dust extraction ready to go — ideal for one-off projects, site jobs or seasonal work.
Operator & safety notes
- Always wear suitable PPE: eye protection, dust mask (FFP2 or better for timber dust), ear defenders and gloves.
- Use the dust port and a site vacuum where possible — timber dust is hazardous and messy.
- Secure the workpiece with clamps. Never sand loose or unstable items by hand.
- Allow the sander to reach speed before contacting the timber and move steadily along the grain where possible.
- Check belts before use for wear or damage. We supply replacements and can advise on grit selection.
If you need accessories or advice on grit selection, see our Belt Sander hire page for full details. The machine is available for collection from Attleborough or we deliver within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham — free collection if you prefer to collect. As CPA members we offer competitive trade account discounts for regular hires.
