Excavators for hire in Gold Coast

From commercial and residential to agricultural, mining, and civil projects – iseekplant has the best excavator hire providers on the GC for a myriad of applications.

  • Mini Excavators – If you're working on a residential, commercial or landscaping project that calls for detailed excavation work, mini excavators are perfect! Compact in size and ranging from 1 to 5 tonnes in weight class, they can tackle even the most challenging digging tasks with ease.
  • Civil-sized excavators – Weighing between 5 and 30 tonnes, these machines are more powerful for civil and commercial applications. Their heavier chassis enables a range of additional attachments that are both cost-effective and flexible. Many come with the best onboard technology – including machine control and telematics.
  • Heavy-duty Mine Spec Excavators – Ideal choice for a variety of massive earthmoving tasks. These machines boast additional security features as well as heavy-duty attachments. Typically weighing more than 30 tonnes, you'll find them on mine sites, LNG jobs and in quarries.

Most common excavators for hire on the Gold Coast

Our Gold-Coast-based suppliers offer a wide selection of excavators, from micro 1-tonne models to heavy-duty 200+ tonnes bad boys.

  • 1 tonne excavator – perfect choice for very tight access excavation projects. There are plenty of dry hire plant companies on the Northern end of the Gold Coast where you can hire these out direct, without the need of an operational license.
  • 5 tonne excavator – if you are looking for a compact and powerful excavator, hire a 5-tonne mini excavator with a bit more tare and torque.
  • 10-tonne excavator – sits at the peak of the compact class and is capable of civil and commercial site tasks.
  • 14-tonne or 15-tonne excavator – is the ideal piece of equipment for small civil projects, and it's also by far the most commonly available option on the Gold Coast.
  • 20 and 30-tonne excavators – many of the suppliers in the local Gold Coast area offer a wide variety of brands and attachments.
  • 50 tonne+ excavators – you’ll probably have to cast your net a little wider than the Gold Coast – though there are many of these machines on the GC. If you search around Yatala you'll find many big plant operators with big fleets of mine spec gear.

Excavator attachments

With over 40 excavator attachments to choose from on iseekplant, you'll find everything you need to do any type of earthmoving task. You can ask the suppliers to fit the attachment, or you can hire them in from another supplier. Below are some popular ones and their uses:

  • Grapples – grapples are crab claws that are great for picking up cylindrical objects - like pipes, steel, or other materials.
  • Auger – whether you're installing fence posts or pylons, augers can be added to the boom of an excavator to dig precise round holes to pretty impressive depths.
  • Batter Bucket – often referred to as the mud bucket, gummy bucket or clean-up bucket, its lack of teeth on the front edge allows it to easily perform cleaning up tasks and backfilling.

Wet and dry excavator hire options

Gold Coast plant hire companies are a pretty flexible bunch and in Queensland, many big and small operators offer their excavators on both wet and dry hire contract terms.

Make sure you specify your preference when you are searching, so the site weeds out the suppliers that don't offer machines on the terms you need. Otherwise, mention it when posting a Get a Quote - as rates can vary pretty wildly with the cost of labour (these days in particular).

The devil is always in the detail when signing a hire contract, so after doing the deal on iseekplant with your chosen quality supplier, make sure you read the fine print.

Additional charges can abound for fuel, mobilisation, insurance, cleaning, maintenance and other hidden gems.
