MINI DIGGERS
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, you will find that we are experts at what we do. From our range of mini diggers for hire to other services like transport and delivery, you can find everything here. Plus, we have a large stock of mini diggers and excavators available for hire when you need them on a day rate or per-project basis. Whether you need to excavate a building site or dig into a new development, hire a mini digger from NZ Machine Hire for the job.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
