EXCAVATORS

Excavators are heavy earthmoving equipment that turn large amounts of soil into relatively small piles. These machines are designed to dig into the earth and move rock, and they can even be used to create roads, railways and large buildings. Excavators usually carry a sizable bucket at the front, which is capable of lifting dirt and rocks and depositing them elsewhere. 

When you need construction equipment to hire, look no further than our range of excavation machines. A leading supplier of earth moving equipment in New Zealand, we offer competitive hire prices on a wide selection of excavators, loaders and other machinery.

When it comes to excavation and site clearing, hiring earth moving equipment is the best option. Excavating and grading, moving dirt and topsoil, green waste removal – all of these projects are better suited to hire machinery than they are people.

Earthmoving projects large or small require equipment. We have the large-scale construction equipment for major public works or large private jobs and the small scoops/excavators that are best for residential work.

If you need an excavator, you will find that we are experts at what we do. From our range of excavators 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.
