Specialist equipment hirer for the media and film industries Sunbelt Rentals UK and Ireland has unveiled a new 180,000 sqft. (16,723 sqm) hire facility in Wembley.

The site is part of a significant investment in both equipment and infrastructure for the company, including an expanded fleet to include more crane services and telescopics along with its range of scissor lifts and cherry pickers.

Sunbelt Rentals chief executive officer Phil Parker explains: “The West London facility is our flagship film and TV facility. We’re looking forward to welcoming customers new and old to explore the expansive range of equipment available to hire, while also highlighting some of the sustainable design choices that have gone into the new building.” 

“This facility represents increased local employment opportunities, sustainable practices and an exceptional customer experience, which aligns with Sunbelt Rentals 4.0 strategic growth strategy”.

The new warehouse, located 17 km from London, will also be used for training, creating local employment and further opportunities for business growth and development across the region, the company says.

In 2022, Sunbelt acquired specialist film and TV equipment hire specialist Media Access Solutions, an industry leader with credits including James Bond movies, Star Wars, BBC’s Silent Witness, The Crown for Netflix and Paddington Bear.
