Questions about excavator hire
What size excavator do I need?
Work back from access and dig depth. A 1.5 to 3.5-tonne mini suits residential and landscaping work with narrow access. A 5 to 8-tonne midi handles service trenches and small platforms. Anything from 20 tonnes up is for bulk earthworks. Send us the site details and we will size it for you.
Do you hire excavator attachments?
Yes. Ask for the attachment when you request the quote so the machine is delivered with the right hitch and hydraulic lines already fitted.
