Whether you're clearing a driveway, digging footings, or moving materials around a busy site, hiring a digger or dumper is often far more practical than doing it by hand — and far cheaper than buying.
What sizes are available?
Plant equipment comes in a range of sizes to suit different jobs:
- Micro and mini excavators — ideal for tight access, garden projects and small groundworks
- Dumpers — for shifting soil, rubble, and building materials around site
- Larger excavators for bigger groundworks jobs
Do I need a licence to hire a digger?
For most mini plant, no formal licence is required, but you should be competent and confident operating the machine. For larger or specialist plant, some form of training or certification may be needed — our team will talk you through what's required for the specific machine before you hire.
What about access and ground conditions?
Before booking, think about:
- Access width to your site (gates, pathways, gaps between buildings)
- Ground conditions — soft or uneven ground may need tracked rather than wheeled plant
- Where the machine will be delivered to and how it'll be loaded/unloaded
Delivery for plant equipment
Given the size and weight of diggers and dumpers, most customers opt for delivery rather than self-collection. Our team can advise on the right vehicle and access needed if you do want to collect yourself.
