We offer Bobcat E20 and S130 excavator hire with experienced operators for residential and commercial projects. These machines perform trenching, levelling, hauling, and precision hole drilling with attachments like 4-in-1 buckets and augers. Regular safety checks ensure compliance with Australian standards while maintaining operational efficiency for tasks ranging from sewage line installation to site preparation.
Tip Truck Services
Our 2-tonne tip truck service handles material removal and delivery for excavation and landscaping projects. The custom-built tray with fold-down sides transports soil, rubble, and green waste efficiently from tight spaces. This service complements our machinery hire by streamlining site cleanup and material positioning processes while eliminating the need for skip bins.
Landscaping Excavation
Specialized excavation services prepare sites for landscaping projects using mini diggers with attachments like rippers and augers. Operators create optimal conditions for turfing, paving, and concreting while managing soil aeration and stump removal. This service combines technical expertise with landscaping knowledge to ensure proper grading and drainage for long-term project success.
Confined Space Work
Our equipment and experienced operators specialize in completing excavation tasks in restricted spaces where larger machinery cannot operate. Mini diggers with 1.6m width and tight turning radius enable precise work around existing structures while maintaining safety standards. This capability reduces project costs by eliminating the need for manual labor in difficult access areas.
