New beginnings: Salko UK opens electrical plant hire depot in Balkholme

We’re so excited to unveil our brand-new electrical plant hire depot in Balkholme, near Goole. This is a huge step forward for us as we continue to expand our services and strengthen our support for customers across the UK.

Our new Balkholme depot has been designed to give M&E contractors access to a full range of modern, energy-efficient and fully electric plant hire equipment. This investment reflects both customer feedback and the growing market appetite for cleaner, more reliable alternatives to traditional power and lighting systems.

To support the launch, we are pleased to welcome Brett Dainton as Stores Manager. Brett joins us from Clarks Vehicle Conversions in Doncaster and will oversee the depot’s inventory, testing processes and customer service, working alongside Pete Myers, Facilities Supervisor.

A fully electric equipment range for safer, greener projects

Every product available through the Balkholme site is 100% electric. Our hire range includes:

• Small transformers
• Extension leads
• Fully electric LED lighting systems

These solutions deliver improved reliability, enhanced safety and greater energy efficiency – all while significantly reducing environmental impact. Each item undergoes rigorous in-house testing and quality checks, ensuring customers receive equipment they can depend on in high-pressure, technical environments.

In addition, the depot includes specialist welding tools and on-site welding support, allowing customers to benefit directly from the expertise of our experienced team.

The depot Balkholme team can guide customers through equipment availability, booking processes and collection or delivery options, making it simple to access the tools required for upcoming projects.
