Welcome to the Website of The Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA), the Organisation for Plant-Hire Professionals in the United Kingdom. The CPA was originally named the Contractors Plant Association, before changing its name in 1985.
The Construction Plant Hire Association membership comprises in excess of 1,400 companies, who jointly represent over 90% by turnover of all UK Construction Plant Hire. The CPA through its strong membership has a powerful voice within Industry and Government on all matters relating to construction and the hire of plant.
Construction Plant-Hire Companies from Owner Operators, through Tool Hire Shops, and up to the market leading Multi-Depot Organisations, hire out all types of Construction Equipment and Construction Plant. These plant hire companies form the membership and are represented on various working committees. In collaboration with these committees, CPA conditions of hire have been created, together with improvements on Health and Safety and Training.
The progressive fee structure is designed to ensure that membership is good value, even for small companies who wish to use the Model Conditions and other CPA terms and conditions.
Please look around our web site to find out more about our activities at the CPA on behalf of the UK plant hire industry.
