At J T Richards, we specialise in micro, mini and midi diggers for hire across Shrewsbury, Telford and Shropshire. From compact garden jobs through to heavier construction work, our machines are well maintained, easy to operate and competitively priced, giving you reliable plant hire for projects of all sizes.
Micro Digger – 0.8 Tonne
Compact and versatile, our 0.8 tonne micro digger is ideal for residential sites and light groundwork. It’s easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces and perfect for trenching, installing pipes and cables, or moving soil into skips and dumpers.
£40 per day
Micro Digger – 1 Tonne
At just 720mm wide, our 1 tonne micro digger is narrow enough for restricted access but still offers excellent digging strength. With extendable tracks and a fold-down roll bar, it’s a reliable choice for gardens, landscaping and small-scale construction projects.
£60 per day (min 2 days) / £240 per week (plus delivery, insurance, fuel and VAT)
Mini Digger – 1.5 Tonne
Our 1.5 tonne mini digger is widely used for domestic groundwork and landscaping. Perfect for digging footings, preparing driveways and patios, it offers more capacity than a micro digger while remaining compact enough for easy use in residential areas.
£50 per day
Mini Digger – 1.7 Tonne
The 1.7 tonne mini digger is a popular hire option, combining compact size with extra digging strength. Commonly used for foundations, site clearance and landscaping, it provides the right balance between manoeuvrability and performance on both domestic and trade projects.
£70 per day (min 2 days) / £280 per week (plus delivery, insurance, fuel and VAT)
Midi Digger – 2.5 Tonne
For heavier-duty projects, our 2.5 tonne midi digger provides additional reach and lifting capacity. Suitable for roadworks, bridge foundations and larger construction sites, it delivers reliable performance with a larger fuel capacity for extended use in demanding environments.
£60 per day
Midi Digger – 5.5 Tonne
Our 5.5 tonne midi digger is built for demanding construction work requiring extra strength and reach. It’s ideal for large-scale groundwork and excavation where a more powerful machine is needed to deliver efficiency and reliability over long hours of use.
£80 per day
What Can I Use a Mini Digger For?
Mini diggers are highly versatile machines that save time and reduce manual labour. They are commonly used to dig footings for extensions, prepare trenches for pipes or cables, and clear land for patios and driveways.
Many customers also use them for landscaping projects, removing soil, or shaping gardens. Compact in size, they fit into residential spaces with restricted access, yet remain powerful enough for heavier groundwork, making them suitable for both homeowners and contractors alike.
