Benefits and Considerations for Hiring a Mini Digger

Mini diggers, also known as compact excavators, are versatile construction machines ideal for projects where you have limited space. Read on to discover how mini digger hire can help your project.

Why hire a mini digger?

Due to their compact size, mini diggers are the perfect solution for digging in confined spaces or for use in small-scale projects. Mini diggers make an excellent choice for projects such as: 

- Landscaping
- Garden work
- Projects in tight urban areas
- Home renovation 
- Installing driveways and patios
- Trenching
- Clearing rubble
- Removing tree stumps
- Groundwork preparation
- Digging and filling holes 

Reduce project time and minimise manual labour with the precision and power of a mini digger. Read on to find out how to choose the right mini digger for your needs, or contact us today to discuss your requirements. 

Things to consider when hiring a mini digger:

1. Size 
Mini diggers come in various sizes, so choosing the best option for your project is essential. The operational weight of your digger will adjust how powerful your digger is.

2. Digging depth
How deep you need to dig will depend on the project you are undertaking. Consider what you want to achieve with your mini digger as you decide which model to hire. 

3. Attachments 
Mini diggers can do more than just dig! Attachments are available to hire with your digger. PSM supplies hydraulic breaker attachments for 1.7 tonne excavators and 3 tonne excavators. We also provide a range of bucket sizes so you can adjust the capabilities of your digger to suit your project best. 

4. Width
Our mini diggers may be small, but you still need them to fit on your site. If you are working in a compact space, measure the entrances to ensure you can drive the digger to the necessary position without any issues.
