Centurion Plant Hire

Established in October 1999, Centurion Plant Hire has built a strong reputation as a trusted provider of plant hire and haulage services to the construction, civil engineering and other related industries. With an expansive fleet of modern plant and building equipment, the company is committed to delivering reliable, high quality and safe machinery, alongside exceptional customer service.

We recently spoke with Chloe Spencer, Rental Specialist, about Centurion Plant Hire’s success over the years and how they’ve gone from strength to strength. Their comprehensive range of rental equipment includes everything from screwdrivers to 13-tonne tracked excavators. Whether it be serving DIY enthusiasts to large-scale builders, Centurion Plant Hire offers an extensive fleet of micro diggers, loaders, dumpers, carriers, telehandlers, as well as much more.

As for core values, Centurion defines its operations and business on:

• Professionalism: Every member of the team is encouraged to act with courtesy, respect and empathy.
• Safety: As a HAE certified company with years of industry expertise, Centurion maintains the highest safety standards, working with respected brands such as HSS, JCB and Summit Platforms.
• Sustainability: Centurion is dedicated to sustainable growth, investing in low-carbon solutions and equipment that help customers build a greener future.

Before adopting Klipboard’s dedicated rental ERP solution, OnRent Go, Centurion Plant Hire relied heavily on manual spreadsheets, shared documents and paper-based booking processes to manage their operations. As the business expanded, these manual systems became increasingly inefficient and difficult to manage. Document retrieval was particularly problematic as information was spread across multiple platforms and often misplaced. Monitoring asset utilisation and tracking orders proved challenging, with paper booking sometimes being lost or prone to human error.

"Adopting Klipboard’s OnRent Go has been a pivotal step in modernising how we operate as a business," said Chloe Spencer, Rental Specialist at Centurion Plant Hire. "What started as a manual, paper-based system has evolved into a unified digital platform that’s transformed our visibility, efficiency and customer service."

With customer demand growing rapidly, Centurion Plant Hire recognised the need for a centralised system that could consolidate their documentation, improve asset management and enhance operational efficiency.

Centurion Plant Hire discovered OnRent Go at The Showman’s Show exhibition when visiting the Klipboard stand. After an initial introduction to the platform, the team quickly saw its potential to transform their workflows and boost efficiency across their departments. “Since implementing OnRent Go, we have streamlined our administration and asset management processes, enabling teams to work more constructively and access information on any device in real time. The accounts team now benefits from simplified invoice management with the ability to quickly locate specific invoices via individual customer accounts. In addition, equipment tracking has become seamless with machines being monitored for utilisation, maintenance records and location – ensuring transparency and accountability across the business.”

When talking with the Centurion Plant Hire team they also discussed the benefits OnRent Go had offered to the management team, having become invaluable for job planning and scheduling. “The system enables effortless allocation of tasks, helping the team plan workdays and coordinate movements more effectively, resulting in better productivity and resource use.”

"By implementing OnRent Go, Centurion Services Ltd has transformed its operations from a manual process into a modern, centralised digital system that truly supports their continued growth," said Louis Hurst, Business Development Executive at Klipboard. "They’ve seen significant improvements across their business, from faster document retrieval and enhanced asset management to more efficient planning, scheduling and streamlined administrative workflows. What’s equally rewarding is the strong partnership we’ve built with the Centurion team. Their commitment to innovation and collaboration has been key to achieving these fantastic results, and we’re proud to support them on their journey toward greater efficiency and service excellence."

Working with the Klipboard team has allowed us to strengthen our commitment to professionalism, safety and sustainability, values that remain at the heart of everything we do, all while positioning Centurion as a forward-thinking leader in the plant hire industry for years to come. Thank you Team Klipboard!
