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
What the orbital sider is
The orbital sider is a robust screeding and finishing machine designed to give a rapid, flat finish to concrete slabs and screeds. Built for site use, it combines oscillating action with controlled plate motion to level and smooth freshly poured concrete faster than hand trowels and with a much more consistent finish. This unit is available for hire now from our Breckland depot.
Jobs it’s suited for
- Finishing floor screeds in domestic and commercial builds
- Level concrete slabs prior to tiling or resin flooring
- Preparing large internal floors and warehouse bases
- Speeding up groundworks and saving labour on self-build projects
Key specs & features
- Orbital/oscillating action for a high-quality flat finish
- Suitable for use on fresh concrete and cementitious screeds
- Sturdy construction designed for heavy site use
- Easy-to-operate controls to reduce operator fatigue
- Compact enough to work inside buildings and on tight jobs
Why hire rather than buy
Most trades only need an orbital sider intermittently. Hiring gives you access to a professional-grade machine without the capital outlay, maintenance, transport and storage headaches. Use it for the duration of the job, then return it — ideal for one-off screeds or occasional contractors. If you need complementary kit, we also stock related equipment in our hire range; check the orbital sider listing for specifications and compatibility notes.
Operator & safety notes
The orbital sider must be operated by a competent person who understands the machine’s motion and weight distribution. Operators should wear suitable PPE: safety boots, gloves, eye protection and hearing protection where required. Keep clear of moving parts and follow on-site manual handling guidance when moving the unit. Never use on overly sloped surfaces and ensure the concrete mix is at the correct consistency for finishing.
