Next-Day CCTV Tower Deployment for £500k Agricultural Site in Suffolk
When you need agricultural CCTV tower hire at short notice... Here's what 24 hours looks like!
Because...
When rural theft starts, it doesn't stop at one site.
A neighbouring farm gets hit. Then the next. Then yours.
That was the very real threat facing Lewis Stiff of LMS Engineering. With £500,000 of specialist irrigation equipment sitting unprotected in an open field in Suffolk...
Sourced from Dubai, the US, Spain. Long lead times. No margin for delay. With Spring approaching and an installation date to hit, there was no catching up if something went missing.
The night before, a very expensive trailer was stolen from a pig farm just down the road.
The equipment was insured. But that wasn't the point. It's the replacing. And the lead time.
And living 30 minutes from site, Lewis had no way to protect it himself.
Lewis spent that night playing the horror story over and over. The following morning he started Googling and called three security providers. Two of them needed to do a site survey before anything could be arranged, then offered him a small tower or two. For a site with half a million pounds of equipment at immediate risk, that was no use to anyone. He wanted a tower that was robust, reliable and fast!

"A blessing to have a company willing to bend over backwards for you."

He called CCTV Hire & Sales at 9:30am on Monday morning.
Phil — despite being stuck in Dubai at the time — took the call immediately and passed it straight to Alex at UK HQ.
No runaround. No "we'll need to survey the site first." No waiting for a callback that might not come. Lewis got the process explained clearly. Pricing straightforward. Questions answered.
By 10:30am the following morning, REG0003 — a brand new tower from the REG Army, fresh on its first hire — was on site in Suffolk. Installed. Commissioned. Fully operational.
Premium by Design. Not a Temporary Compromise.
No stop-gap bolted together overnight, REG0003 is Premium by Design — at 2.3 metres tall and weighing in at 500kg, it's built to permanent-site standards, deployed to a temporary one. Powered by Dual Power Plus, it wasn't going dark if the British weather had other ideas. Six months of methanol fuel cell behind it. No crossed fingers about cloud cover.
Lewis was walked through exactly how and when the cameras would operate. No guesswork. No surprises.
Under 25 hours from first call to a working tower in the field.
The project was protected. The timeline was intact. The agricultural deadline hadn't moved.
Lewis had spent one night playing the horror story. He didn't need to play it again.
Seamless Rapid Deployment, what Lewis said:
"We had around £500,000 worth of equipment on site and had already seen thefts happening nearby. I was genuinely worried about what could happen.
I called CCTV Hire & Sales on Monday morning and by the next day the tower was on site, set up and ready to go. The whole process was seamless.
In agriculture everything is time-critical. If anything had gone missing, replacing it would have been a nightmare.
Having the cameras there was invaluable. It completely put my mind at rest.
I can't thank the team enough… I'll be shouting from the rooftops about them.
I'd 100% use them again and would recommend them to anyone who needs reliable site security."
— Lewis Stiff, LMS Engineering
