Frequently Asked Questions
What size excavator is best for residential work?
For most residential projects, such as landscaping, trenching, or small demolitions, a mini excavator in the 1.7 to 3.5 tonne range is ideal. These compact machines offer great manoeuvrability in tight spaces and cause less surface disruption. Medium excavators (around 5–8 tonnes) are better suited for foundations or bulk earthmoving. Choosing the right size depends on access, ground conditions, and the specific task—so it’s a good idea to consult a hire provider before booking.
Can I operate an excavator without a licence in Bulahdelah?
In NSW, you generally don’t need a formal licence to operate an excavator on private property, including in Bulahdelah. However, you must be trained and capable of operating the equipment safely. For commercial worksites or jobs involving public land or infrastructure, a white card and proof of competency may be required. If you’re unsure about your ability to operate the machine, consider wet hire, where a qualified operator is included with the hire.
What’s included in excavator hire?
Excavator hire generally includes the machine itself, and depending on the provider, may also include delivery to site, a standard bucket attachment, and optional extras like augers or rock breakers. Fuel and cleaning fees may be charged separately. Some providers offer wet hire with a licensed operator, while others offer dry hire only. Always clarify what’s included in the hire agreement, how long the hire period lasts, and who’s responsible for damage, insurance, and machine refuelling.
