Our Digger Hire:

Micro digger 0.8 tonnes:   

Our micro digger is available at £40 per day and weighs 0.8 tonnes. It is seen as a mini dealer and ideal for light groundwork. It is straightforward to navigate and versatile to use. Also, the micro digger is perfect for smaller construction site work, especially at a residential property or smaller building. 

Common uses of Micro digger 0.8 tonnes: Our micro diggers are reliable and ideal for excavation projects. These diggers are widely used for moving earth materials directly to a dumper or skip, installing underground pipes and cables and digging trenches. You can also use them during building constructions due to the compacted size of the machine. 

Mini digger 1.5 tonnes:   

Our mini digger is available at £50 per day and weighs 1.5 tonnes. It is ideal for working with buildings in all the gardens and is also perfect for landscape use. It has a slightly larger capacity than our micro digger. 

Common uses of 1.5 tonne Mini digger: This mini digger is one of the most popular mini excavators. This type of digger is used to dig out footings and help create a patio/driveway. It is a bit bigger than the 0.8 tonnes micro digger. However, it can still go on more demanding projects which can involve the landscape. 

Midi digger 2.5 tonnes: 

 Our midi digger is available at £60 per day and weighs 2.5 tonnes. This digger is ideal for larger projects, and it can handle a heavy-duty work environment. It also has a larger fuel capacity. 

Common uses of Midi digger 2.5 tonnes: The midi digger is smaller than an excavator but can still do some of the same jobs. Our Midi diggers are primarily used in the construction of a building, road and even bridges. They are great for lifting relatively heavy objects to places that mini diggers cannot due to their limited arm range and size. Also, due to its size, it has a bigger fuel capacity which means it can go on for longer and work in heavy work environments.

Midi digger 5.5 tonnes: 

We also have another midi digger available at £80 per day and weighs 5.5 tonnes. This larger option has a huge capacity and can reach more considerable heights and depths. It has an even larger tank capacity and perfect for heavy-duty construction work.

Common uses of Midi digger 5.5 tonnes: Our midi digger has the same characteristics as the 2.5-tonne midi digger. However, this 5.5-tonne midi digger can take on projects that require the machine to be stronger and have a more extended reach.
