Frequently Asked Questions
What size excavator do I need for my project?
The size of excavator you’ll need depends on the scope and space of your job. Mini excavators (around 1–3 tonnes) are perfect for tight-access sites or landscaping projects, while medium to large excavators (5–30+ tonnes) are suited to commercial or civil works. If you're digging trenches, removing stumps, or preparing foundations, it’s best to match the job with the right weight class and attachments. When in doubt, ask the hire provider to inspect your site or make recommendations based on soil type and task complexity.
What are common uses for hiring an excavator?
Excavators are used for a wide variety of tasks including site preparation, digging trenches, landscaping, driveway removal, demolition, post-hole digging, and even small-scale lifting. They're a go-to machine for builders, plumbers, landscapers, and anyone needing efficient material removal or ground shaping. With attachments like augers, buckets, and hydraulic breakers, they’re incredibly versatile for different terrain and job types.
What attachments are available with excavator hire?
Excavators can be paired with a variety of attachments to suit different job requirements. Common options include general-purpose buckets, trenching buckets, augers for post-hole digging, rock breakers for demolition, and hydraulic thumbs for lifting or grabbing materials. Some machines also support tilting heads or compaction plates for more specialised tasks. When booking your hire, be sure to mention the type of work you're doing so the right attachments can be included—this ensures maximum efficiency and safety on-site.
