Frequently Asked Questions
What size excavator do I need?
As a rough guide, 0.8 to 1.5 tonne mini diggers suit restricted access, gardens and landscaping; 3 to 8 tonne machines handle drainage, footings and foundations; and 13 to 35 tonne excavators take on bulk muckshifting, demolition and heavy groundworks. Tell us the job and the access and we’ll match the right machine.
What’s the difference between a digger and an excavator?
They’re the same thing. Digger is the everyday name for an excavator, from compact mini diggers up to large tracked machines. We hire from 0.8 to 35 tonnes, so tell us what you’re digging and we’ll point you to the right one.
Do you hire mini diggers?
Yes. The smallest machines are 0.8 and 1.5 tonne mini diggers that fit through gateways and work in tight, restricted-access spots, ideal for garden, landscaping and confined work. Step up to 3 tonne and above for bigger groundworks.
Do you hire rubber-tracked excavators?
Yes, including a 13 tonne rubber-track excavator. Rubber tracks are kinder to finished surfaces like roads, driveways and slabs than steel tracks, so they suit work where you don’t want to mark the ground. Tell us your site and we’ll recommend the right tracks.
Do you supply buckets and attachments?
Digging, grading and trenching buckets, breakers, augers and other attachments can typically be sourced to suit the machine, subject to availability. Let us know the task and we’ll sort the right kit.
Do I need a qualification to use an excavator on site?
For commercial site work, whoever uses the excavator should hold a recognised qualification such as CPCS or NPORS, and a CSCS card is often needed to be on site. On private land it isn’t a legal requirement. Make sure whoever uses it is qualified for the size of machine.
How quickly can you deliver an excavator?
It depends on your location and current availability. We coordinate delivery and collection through our supplier network, and can often help with urgent or time-critical jobs, subject to availability. Send us your site postcode and we’ll confirm a realistic delivery time.
