Mini Diggers

We also offer a range of excavators and dumpers, which you can count on us to deliver to your site on time and at a reasonable price. Our machines are available to hire on a self-drive basis or if you need, we can provide an experienced operator. All our operators are certified and are capable of dealing with all aspects of ground work.
For our work, we mainly use the new Kubota excavators based on their reliability and performance. The machines come with expanding tracks to allow them to get into tighter places, but then be as stable as possible once they are in position.
