Mini excavator hire is fast becoming one of the most used services for both domestic and commercial landscaping and trenching. The use of mechanical aids such as excavators, dingos and bobcats are being utilised by home renovators, construction professionals, and demolition experts alike. However, before hiring out any equipment there are a few things you need to know.
A mini excavator can be tracked or wheeled and can be used for a large variety of jobs on a site or in a backyard. Mini excavators are usually hired for small to medium-sized projects but can also be used for larger projects as well. Some of the main reasons a mini excavator is hired are:
All mini excavators have the full range of motion similar to their larger models. This includes 360-degree rotation and multi hydraulic arms to ensure all digging and loading is made easy.
Although a mini excavator is easy to use, there is some specialist training for safety and compliance that will need to be completed before using them. It is recommended that when looking for mini excavator hire that you also consider hiring a skilled and experienced operator. This will help avoid any hidden costs such as additional hire fees, and your job will be completed to a higher standard and degree of accuracy.

Hiring a mini excavator doesn’t need to break the bank. In fact, due to the huge popularity of the machines, they are available locally, and hiring one can be really affordable. To break it down, here are some general pricing rules:
Hiring a mini excavator will often have a minimum hire time of around 4 hours or longer. You will also be required to refuel the machine at the end of the hired period. If your project requires removing soil, some hire plants offer the mini excavator in combination with a tipper truck. This can be a very handy combination as materials that are removed with the excavator will often need to be removed from the site as well.
One of the major advantages of a mini excavator hire is that you can use them for several different applications in a single sitting. They have multiple attachments that are easy to change and don’t take up valuable room on small sites. The multiple tools and attachments make the mini excavator the ultimate all-rounder.
A mini excavator is a great machine to kick start your project. These machines have taken off over the past 15 years and have found a niche in the construction and landscaping industry, working alongside or even replacing larger specialist machinery. Larger excavators aren’t always practical on a smaller site and have many limitations with site access and transport. Hiring a mini excavator on the other hand means you can do most things that the larger machines can do and with some added unique advantages that come in handy. These are:
