DCM Hire supplies plant and tool hire across Dublin, working with contractors, builders and facilities teams who need equipment on site without delay. Our fleet covers mini diggers, dumpers, generators, access platforms, whacker plates and the wider range of construction equipment most projects call for, maintained and serviced so it performs when it’s needed. Hire terms run daily, weekly or long-term, and we adjust availability around project timelines rather than fixed rental cycles.
Delivery is arranged to suit site access and working hours, or equipment can be collected directly from our depot if that fits your schedule better. Alongside plant hire, we handle general machinery hire for smaller tasks like compaction, power generation and site access, where a full plant order isn’t required. We work with trade accounts on a regular basis, and we also supply DIY customers taking on smaller jobs at home; the equipment, pricing and support are the same either way. Get in touch for a quote, and we’ll confirm cost, availability and delivery options before you commit to a hire date.
From 1.5-tonne mini diggers up to teleporters and access platforms, we stock more plant and tools than most Dublin hire yards, covering excavation, compaction, power and site access under one roof.
Rates are set to work whether you're hiring a whacker plate for the weekend or running a plant on a site for six months, and quotes are given upfront so there's no guessing at the final bill.
Every machine is checked before it leaves the yard. That's not a slogan, it's how the place is run, because faulty kit on site is a liability nobody wants to deal with.
Diggers, dumpers and generators go through scheduled servicing rather than sitting until something breaks, so equipment turns up ready to work instead of causing delays on day one.
Picking between a 1.5-tonne and 3-tonne digger, or a straight-tip dumper over a swivel, isn't always obvious. Our team hires this equipment out daily and can talk you through what actually suits the job.
We deliver plant and tools to sites across Dublin city and county, working around your access times and start dates rather than the other way round.
If it suits you better, it can be collected straight from our depot, handy for smaller tools or if you're already passing that way.
Contractors and builders running multiple sites can set up a trade account, which makes repeat hires, invoicing and swapping equipment a lot less hassle.
You don't need a company name to hire from us. Homeowners doing a patio, a shed base or general garden work get the same equipment and rates as our trade customers.
We're based locally and know the sites, access issues and roads around Dublin, which makes booking and delivery more straightforward than going through a national call centre.
Need something today rather than next week? We keep stock moving and can often get equipment out same-day, depending on what's already booked.
Mini diggers are the machine most people reach for first, useful for digging foundations, trenches, drainage work or clearing ground on tighter sites. Compact enough to fit through a side gate, they still shift a decent amount of material without needing a bigger excavator.

A whacker plate compacts loose soil, hardcore or gravel before laying paving, foundations or driveways, giving you a firm, even base. Useful for smaller groundwork jobs where a heavier roller isn’t practical, it’s one of the tools DIY customers and tradesmen hire most often.
HIRE NOW
A log splitter takes the effort out of processing firewood, snapping through logs in seconds rather than an axe and a lot of time. Handy after storm damage or if you’re clearing fallen trees from a garden, it’s a popular seasonal hire heading into autumn.
HIRE NOW
Dumpers move soil, rubble, aggregate and other heavy materials around a site far quicker than doing it by hand or barrow. Available as straight-tip or swivel models, they’re a staple on groundwork and landscaping jobs and pair well with a mini digger on most sites.
HIRE NOW
When there’s no power source on site, a generator keeps tools, lighting and machinery running. We supply diesel-powered generators sized to the job, whether that’s a small unit for hand tools or something bigger for running plant and equipment across a whole site.
HIRE NOW
A teleporter, or telehandler, lifts and moves heavy materials, pallets or equipment to height and across a site, reaching where a forklift can’t. Common on building sites and in agriculture, it saves manual handling and speeds up jobs involving blocks, timber or roofing materials.
HIRE NOW
A boom lift gets people and tools safely up to height for jobs like cladding, maintenance, or working near overhead structures. With a longer reach than a scissor lift, it’s suited to outdoor sites where you need to move both up and out.
HIRE NOW
Access hire covers scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers for working safely at height, indoors or out. Rather than relying on ladders or scaffolding for shorter jobs, these platforms get people up quickly, with a stable working area for tasks like painting or signage.
HIRE NOW
Temporary traffic lights control vehicles safely around roadworks, construction zones or narrow site entrances where machinery is moving in and out. They’re set up to manage traffic flow without needing a person directing it manually, which matters on busier roads or sites with limited visibility.
HIRE NOW
Rollers flatten and compact soil, gravel or asphalt to create a smooth, even surface for driveways, paths or other groundwork. Ride-on rollers cover ground faster than a whacker plate, making them the better choice once you're working across a larger area.
