About LMT Hire Ltd
Your Complete Lifting, Testing & Test Weight Hire Partner
LMT Hire Ltd, officially registered as Lift Move and Test Weight Hire Ltd, is a UK-based provider of test weight hire, lifting equipment and proof load testing services. Formed in 2024 with a clear mission to raise standards across the industry, LMT Hire combines extensive experience with a full-service offering, supporting businesses nationwide with reliable, certified and safe lifting solutions.
Our Journey
The formation of LMT Hire Ltd began with the strategic acquisition of M&M Transport’s Test Weights, a well-established company known for its dependable service and strong reputation in the industry. Following this, we secured a purpose-built facility large enough to accommodate our growing stock and service capabilities.
Our name, Lift Move and Test Weight Hire Ltd, reflects the breadth of services we offer. For simplicity, we trade as LMT Hire Ltd, making it easier for our customers to identify and remember us — but rest assured, it’s the same experienced team behind both names.
What We Offer
We currently hold approximately 500 tonnes of test weights in stock, including various shapes, sizes and cradle systems to suit a wide range of applications such as load testing, trailer testing and lifting compliance checks. All weights are supplied with clear markings, lifting points and are stackable for easy use on site.
In addition to test weight hire, we’ve invested in a large inventory of lifting equipment, ranging from eyebolts and shackles to chain blocks and web slings. Every item is supplied fully certified and available for delivery across the UK or collection from our Rotherham depot.
Proof Load Testing & LOLER Services
Our offering doesn’t stop at equipment supply. We also carry out LOLER inspections and proof load testing, either on-site or at our Rotherham-based facility, where we operate a 500-tonne capacity calibrated test rig. This allows us to support both routine inspections and one-off testing projects with speed, precision, and full compliance with LOLER, PUWER and ISO 7500-1:2018 standards.
