Essential Site Tools at FTH Trade Counters

So far this year we’ve highlighted our range of Diamond Blades for cutting, Workwear and PPE for head to toe, Road Surfacing Essentials and the most effective Oils & Lubricants to apply to your tools and machinery. But there are still so many handy site essentials available at FTH Trade Counters. Let’s look at the rest.

Barrows & Tubs

On construction sites, wheelbarrows and industrial flexi tubs are essential tools for improving efficiency and managing materials. Wheelbarrows make it easier to transport heavy loads like concrete, sand, and gravel across uneven ground, reducing the physical strain on workers and speeding up the job. Our heavy duty flexi tubs are perfect for holding a variety of building materials, waste, or tools.

Hand Tools

Having the right tools on hand is essential. We stock a vast range of high-quality hand tools, including trowels, chisels, mallets, wrenches, handsaws, levels, screwdrivers, and more. Our selection covers everything from precision instruments to durable, heavy-duty tools, ensuring professionals can find the ideal option for any task.

Power Tool Accessories

We understand that trade professionals who hire our drilling and cutting tools may also need an extensive range of drill bits, sanding discs, mag bits, saw blades and SDS points and chisels. Our selection includes various sizes and specifications to match the diverse applications professionals face, from detailed woodworking to heavy-duty concrete drilling. By keeping these essentials in stock, we help our customers maintain productivity and tackle their tasks efficiently, backed by hire tools that meet their exacting standards.

Gas

All FTH Hire Hubs are Flogas stockists, offering a complete range of bottled propane and butane gas cannisters from 3.9kg to 47kg. On construction sites, propane and butane gas are essential for fuelling portable heaters, forklift trucks, generators and various tools like torches and cutting equipment. They provide a reliable and high-energy output that’s easily transported, making them ideal for remote sites or temporary setups.

Site Safety

Barrier mesh fencing and debris netting are essential for creating safe, efficient, and organised building site. Used to cordon off specific areas of construction sites or for highlighting potentially dangerous areas at public events, our barrier mesh is perfect for a fast temporary fencing solution. Alternatively, we also stock traditional red and white barrier tape. For both solutions, steel fencing pins are available to secure in-ground. For sites with scaffolding, we can supply netting on a roll used to contain falling debris, protecting the public and site personnel working at lower levels.

Lifting & Strapping

When you need to buy lifting slings, shackles or ratchet straps for domestic or commercial work, we can help. Our range can help to make lifting or transportation tasks easier, more efficient and safer.

Electrical Accessories

Our selection of extension leads offer flexibility for powering tools across larger areas, while robust transformers ensure stable power distribution, protecting equipment from voltage fluctuations. Fly leads offer convenient connectivity, making it easy to power multiple devices without delay. With these trusted accessories, contractors and landscapers can focus on getting the job done efficiently and effectively.
