1.7T EXCAVATOR HIRE

Hire starts from $200 per day for our 1.7 tonne mini excavator. The final price depends on whether you choose wet hire (with operator) or dry hire, how long you need the machine, your suburb and site access. Call 0452 500 484 or email us with your job details and you'll get a firm quote back the same day.

Wet hire includes an experienced operator who runs the machine for you — you just point out the work. Dry hire is machine only, delivered to your site for self-operators who are confident and competent running a mini excavator themselves.

From 90cm. With the tracks fully retracted the machine measures 990mm wide, so it squeezes down side paths and through standard gates from about 90cm clear — usually with no need to remove fences or pavers.

It depends on the job. Minor works like garden beds, small trenches and levelling on your own property usually don't need approval, while pool excavation, structural footings, retaining walls over a certain height and any work affecting the street, footpath or trees generally do. Always check with your local council before you dig, and book a free Dial Before You Dig (1100) service locate so underground utilities are marked.
