Contract Hire can represent the ultimate risk free method of acquiring, running and maintaining plant, putting a ceiling on your costs and releasing additional capital to invest in your business. The administrative burden and financial risk of predicting the running costs of your plant for the period of the contract is completely removed.

Contract Hire is the name usually given to an Operating Lease that is combined with service, repair and maintenance agreements. JCB Contract Plan is a Contract Hire package that is more than just a fixed cost acquisition and disposal service, it is an all encompassing package that can cover the entire spectrum of plant operations. Servicing, mechanical repairs, breakdowns, insurance and even relief machines become one agreed budgetary expense. All the other tax and accounting benefits of Contract Hire mirror those of an Operating Lease.
