When deciding between a digger or excavator, it depends on the scale and type of project. For large construction jobs, like building a house or clearing land, a mini digger is often the go-to option. These compact machines, also known as mini excavators, are perfect for small-to-medium tasks such as landscaping, trenching, and light demolition. Mini diggers are highly versatile, featuring four-wheel drive and tracks instead of tires, making them ideal for navigating tight spaces without the risk of punctures. Their smaller size allows them to operate close to buildings or walls without causing damage, which is especially useful for detailed work like digging ponds, creating landscaping features, or lifting heavy materials such as boulders. For small-scale construction, landscaping, or projects requiring precision in confined areas, renting a mini digger is a cost-effective and efficient solution. Contact us at NZ Machine Hire to find the perfect mini digger or excavator for your project! HOLIDAY SPECIALS Discounted prices includes 40 machine hours of use during the holiday period.

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Popular uses for Diggers 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.
