SCOT HOIST LTD.
Company number SC149484 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Scot Hoist Ltd. is a specialist construction equipment rental business operating from Glasgow, focused on hoisting and lifting plant — a niche within the broader UK hire market that supports premium rental economics. The company has delivered exceptional growth, with net assets increasing fivefold over five years to £1.1M, driven by aggressive fleet investment (£790K of plant additions in FY2025 alone) financed through a combination of finance leases, bank facilities, and director funding. While the growth trajectory and specialist positioning are clear competitive strengths, the company faces working capital pressures from a growing debtor book and concentration risk from its single-director governance structure, making debtor management and succession planning the key priorities for sustaining this momentum.
