Mini diggers are small, compact earthmoving equipment that you can use for digging and transporting materials, typically on a building or construction site. Because of their size, they are often referred to as compact or mini excavators.
They are used for smaller jobs that larger diggers cannot do and to move lightweight materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and other similar loose materials. The size of the bucket (cubic capacity) will determine what the mini digger can hold.
The larger the capacity, the more material it can hold in the bucket and the bigger the hole it can make when digging. Most mini diggers have only a single-engine. An average excavator has two engines in tandem, which drive each track through a gearbox and power take-off on each side of its body. If you need a mini digger hire service, you will find that we are experts at what we do. We can offer you the best in mini digger hire services and more.

One of the numerous advantages of the ViO12-2A is its high performance combined with its low fuel consumption. It has also been designed to be uncomplicated and easy to use, as well as straightforward to maintain. The machine's extendable undercarriage turns it into a zero-tail machine while also providing increased stability and lifting capabilities. A monoblock chassis also improves the overall toughness and stability of the vehicle.
The ViO17's changeable undercarriage allows it to be both the smallest and the broadest machine in its class. In addition to being the most reliable, this also indicates it's the most dependable. It also includes a monoblock chassis for durability and three pumps that allow it to generate the highest power of any comparable machine. The ViO17 is both extremely robust and surprisingly simple to maintain.
The Kubota U17-3 excavator is ideal for operations that require you to work in tight quarters or in confined locations. Because it is powered by a Kubota 17HP engine, which is famous across the world for its exceptional dependability, the U17-3 provides great manoeuvrability as well as maximum digging capability. This small excavator provides the power you want, the control you desire, and the finest operation when you require it the most, all at an affordable price.
The Yanmar vio25’s ergonomic design makes it a pleasure to operate, and it is equipped with Yanmar Full-Protect to keep workers and those around them safe. The ViO25 is distinguished by remarkable hauling and performance characteristics, which are made possible by innovative hydraulics. Overall transport weight is significantly under 3.5 tonnes, even with the addition of accessories, making it simple to carry by trailer.
If you are planning a major construction project, such as building a house, you will need to clear the land. This is commonly done with mini diggers. But what else can these machines be used for?
Mini excavators are small versions of normal excavators that are used in construction work, for landscaping, and for other small-scale jobs when you don't need a large machine. They have four-wheel drive and can cater to a wide range of jobs around your property. Depending on your needs, mini diggers can be hired or bought. And if you need to move them around, they have tracks instead of tyres—so no punctures!
With their small size, they can go places that bigger machines can't, so they're often used in tight areas where larger machines would get stuck. Because they're compact, they're also good at digging close to buildings or walls without damaging them. They're popular with landscape gardeners who use them to dig features such as ponds and waterfalls. They are also handy when you want to move heavy items like boulders or when you need to lift things up-simply attach a lifting arm.
Whether you are digging a hole for the foundations of a new house or doing some hardcore landscaping work, renting a mini digger is the best solution.
