Questions about TLB (backhoe loader) hire

Is a TLB or an excavator the better hire?

Hire a TLB when the job mixes digging with loading and the machine has to move around the site or between sites on its own wheels. Hire an excavator when the work is mostly digging in one place, deeper than about four metres, or in ground too soft for wheels.

Can I hire a TLB for a single day?

Yes. TLBs are available on the daily starting rate of R3,500. Weekly and monthly hire bring the cost per day down, so tell us the realistic duration and we will quote the cheapest fit.
