Local knowledge. Equipment you can rely on.
Viksons Tool Hire started with one van, a handful of tools and a simple idea: hire out kit we would be happy to use ourselves.
Our story
Built around the way the trade actually works
We know how much a delayed start costs. That is why our fleet is sized around the jobs our customers actually do — compact plant that fits through a side gate, breakers that start first pull, and dumpers that handle a wet Essex winter.
Everything is inspected on return, serviced on a schedule and replaced when it stops earning its keep. When you arrive at the yard, the machine you reserved is fuelled, greased and waiting.
We are a small team, so you will speak to the same faces every time. That means we remember your sites, your access and how you like your kit set up.

What we stand behind
No surprises, on either side of the gate
Maintained in-house
Our own fitters service, test and repair every machine between hires. Nothing leaves the yard untested.
Straight answers
We tell you what will do the job — even when that means hiring something cheaper than you asked for.
Genuinely local
Kirby Cross, Frinton, Walton, Clacton, Colchester and the surrounding villages. We know the sites and the access.
Trade and DIY welcome
Groundworkers on a schedule and homeowners on a weekend project get the same equipment and the same advice.
