February doesn’t mess around. Cold mornings, damp conditions, shorter days and stop-start weather can slow progress if you’re not set up properly. But with the right kit on site, winter doesn’t have to mean downtime.
At Martin Plant Hire, February is about staying warm, dry, powered and productive. Here’s the hire equipment that earns its keep this time of year — on site and beyond.
Heaters: Take the Edge Off the Cold
Cold slows everything down — materials, curing times and people. Temporary heating is essential for maintaining productivity and protecting works.
Our range of site heaters helps:
• Warm enclosed work areas
• Support drying and curing
• Improve comfort and efficiency on cold days
If winter’s biting, heaters are the difference between pushing on and packing up early.
Dehumidifiers: Dry Sites Work Better
February brings moisture — and lots of it. Wet environments cause delays, damage finishes and create safety risks.
Dehumidifiers are a winter must-have for:
• Drying out spaces after leaks or weather ingress
• Speeding up decorating and finishing works
• Reducing condensation and damp build-up
Dry air means better results and fewer hold-ups.
Sanders: Prep Time Doesn’t Stop for Weather
Internal fit-outs, refurb works and finishing jobs still need to move — whatever the weather outside.
Our sanders are ideal for:
• Floor preparation
• Surface finishing
• Refurb and renovation projects
Cold months are prime time for internal progress — sanding keeps the momentum going.
Pumps: When Water Needs Moving — Fast
Winter weather brings surface water, pooling and unexpected flooding. That’s where pumps come into their own.
Essential for:
• Managing water ingress
• Keeping excavations workable
• Preventing delays after heavy rain
When water shows up uninvited, pumps get you back in control.
Lighting: Short Days, Long To-Do Lists
February days are still short — but deadlines aren’t.
Our temporary lighting solutions help:
• Improve visibility and safety
• Extend working hours
• Support internal and external tasks
Good lighting isn’t optional — it’s a productivity and safety essential.
Battery Tools: Power Without the Cables
Wet conditions and trailing leads don’t mix well. Battery tools offer flexibility, safety and speed — especially in winter environments.
Perfect for:
• Confined or awkward spaces
• Quick tasks without setup delays
• Safer working in damp conditions
Less downtime, more doing.
Winter Doesn’t Stop the Job — The Right Kit Keeps It Moving
February can be tough, but the right hire equipment makes all the difference. Warm sites, dry spaces, clear water, proper lighting and flexible tools help keep projects running smoothly — whatever the forecast.
If you’re planning works this winter, make sure your site is equipped for the season.
Because winter might slow the weather — but it shouldn’t slow the job.
