Mini Digger Hire
A mini digger for trenching, drainage and site work, with an operator or on dry hire.
About mini digger hire
Our mini digger is small enough to get through a standard gate and down the side of a shed, and big enough to trench, dig catchments, shift spoil and tidy up a site. It's available wet hire, where we bring it and run it, or dry hire if you're confident on the controls and just need the machine.
Tight access and small jobs are exactly what it's for. The jobs that are too fiddly for a big contractor's machine but too much for a shovel: a trench for a water line, a hole for a tank or a soak pit, drainage around a house or shed, or a few hours of general digging on a lifestyle block.
Good for: Farmers, lifestyle block owners and tradies who need a small machine for a day or two without the cost of a big one.
Worth booking in
Right size for the job
A big digger on a small job chews up the ground. The mini gets in, does the work and leaves the lawn or paddock in one piece.
Operator who does drainage all day
Wet hire comes with someone who trenches and lays pipe for a living, so the job is done properly, not just dug.
Flexible hire
A few hours or a few days, with or without an operator. Whatever gets your job done.
How we do it
For wet hire, tell us the job and we'll bring the digger, do the work and leave the site tidy. For dry hire, we deliver the machine to you, run through the controls and the basics, and pick it up when you're done. Either way, tell us roughly what you're digging so we can advise on the best way to go about it.
Out on the job
What to expect
Tell us what's happening
Call or message with a couple of photos and a rough idea of where the water is going. That's usually enough to tell you what it needs and roughly what it'll cost.
We hunt it down
We jet, track and follow the line until we've found the actual problem, whether it's a blockage, a broken section, or a drain that was never connected in the first place.
Fixed, and flowing
Blockage cleared, repairs made or new drainage put in, then we check it's running before we pack up. If we spot something that'll cause you grief later, we'll tell you.
Signs it's time to get us out
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a quick call, we're always happy to advise before you book.
- You need a trench dug for water, power or drainage
- There's a tank hole, soak pit or footing to dig
- Access is too tight for a bigger machine
- You've got a weekend project and a shovel isn't going to cut it
