Wirtgen W 500 planer hire.
The Wirtgen W 500 was the go-to half-metre planer for a generation of crews. Its successor is the W 50 Ri, and that is the 0.5m class we run today, supplied with our own operator.
24/7 Plant Workshop
In-house back-up keeps kit running
Replacement Guarantee
A breakdown never stops your job
In-House Haulage
Own low-loaders, on our schedule
The honest position
Same 0.5m cut for footways, patching and tight urban work, on the current machine rather than the one it replaced, backed by our in-house workshop.
If the W 500 is the machine you had in mind, the 0.5m planer on our fleet is the one to book. Tell us the job and we will confirm the dates.

Wirtgen W 500 planer hire: common questions
Do you hire out the Wirtgen W 500?+
Not the W 500 itself. Its successor is the W 50 Ri class and that is the 0.5m planer we run, supplied with our own trained operator.
What work suits the 0.5m planer?+
Footways, patching, tight urban work and jobs where a 1m machine is too much. Tell us the width, depth and access and we will confirm the machine.
Is the planer supplied operated?+
Yes. Every road planer we hire comes with our own trained, directly employed operator, and it can be coordinated with sweepers, tippers and haulage where the programme requires them.
