In brief…

For well over a decade Ward has worked with Total Hire and Sales for tool, plant and equipment hire to supported various projects throughout the metal recycling and waste management operations.

The right tools for the job

With a fleet of over 120 vehicles, hundreds of skips and containers, plus plant and equipment for metal processing, recycling, sorting and managing waste, Ward has a constant requirement for tool hire and products to keep operations running.

The number one item supplied by Total are telehandlers. These are used at most sites for moving materials, loading machinery, handling and off-loading of vehicles and supporting the ELV (end of life vehicle) recycling operations.

Total also supply Ward sites with consumables ranging from cutting discs, drill bits to wood blades and anything in between, at competitive prices. These can be supplied at short notice preventing downtime and keeping machinery and tools working.

Both businesses pride themselves on the friendly and honest service, with trust and great communication at its core. On the rare occasions Total can’t deliver to Ward’s tight timescales, Total always liaise with the team straight away and manage expectations, which is essential in such a fast-moving business. Total always do their best to deliver at short notice, often with same day delivery.
