The most popular excavator in our fleet.
Plenty of power to do the job – and small enough to tow behind most vehicles.
Tow vehicle requires 2 tonne tow capacity.
Excavator Hire
WHAT SIZE MINI EXCAVATOR HIRE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
Why hire an Excavator from us?
We Love To Help
We recommend the right gear. NOT the most expensive.
Free Cleaning
Excavators get dirty. We clean them for free.
Excavator Hire Rates
All Inclusive rates right here. No added extras. Ever.
Emergency Service?
Problem with a hire machine? Call 24/7 and we’ll help.
Free Cleaning
Excavators get dirty and we clean them for free.
We have the high pressure cleaners, triple interceptors and mud pits to clean them quickly – and dispose of the mud and waste water legally and in an environmentally friendly way.
Excavator Buckets
No “added extra charge” for more than one bucket and a quick hitch included.
That’s right – we include three buckets as standard and can even include extra “non-standard” buckets (smooth edge, 450mm etc) with a little notice. Changing buckets without a quick hitch is a painful experience – trying to line up holes on the buckets and excavator when everything is covered in mud.
Remember – not many places include one of these in their hire package.
What’s the excavator hire price?
Our excavator hire cost tries to be fair for both you and us.
Same Day Hire Rate – this is the hire cost when you collect and return on the same day (7.00am – 5.00pm) – or over night (4.30pm – 7.30 am next day).
24 Hour rate – the rate for 24 hours.
Weekend Rate – the hire rate where the excavator is collected on Saturday morning and returned by 7.30 am Monday. It’s the same as our 24 hour hire rate with 8 hours use on the machine.
How to use the quick hitch and change a bucket.
Manual Quick Hitch
1 tonne, 1.7 tonne, 2.5 tonne and some 5 tonne units (no hydraulic hose to the quick hitch).
More info & video
Hydraulic Quick Hitch
Some 5 tonne units – hydraulic hose to the quick hitch.

What does the Mini Excavator Hire Rate include?
- Free Cleaning: What you can do in hours with a hose we can do in 10 minutes with our water blaster. And the waste gets disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
- Buckets: A large range available to help get the most from your mini excavator hire – and they’re included in the hire rate.
- Quick Hitch: For quick and easy bucket changes we include a quick hitch with a mini excavator.

- 24 hour/7 day service:We’re dealing with machines and from time to time you may have a problem with your excavator. Just call the branch you hired from and a real live person will help.
- Low Hour, Serviced Excavators; All our Excavators are maintained to manufacturer requirements – and all necessary paperwork to ensure the smooth running of your job-site and operator safety is provided.
- NO “Environment” Charges or Miscellaneous bits and pieces at the end of the hire that turn a low quoted rate into a big invoice.
And what is doesn’t:
- Fuel – we provide it full and charge for whatever isn’t returned. Fill up yourself and save some money as we’re a little more expensive than the servo.
- Cartage – and we’ve a couple of different delivery rates (“agreed time” and “3 hour window”) to help us all fairly cope with Melbourne’s traffic.
- Operators – all our hire is on a “dry hire” basis.

Excavator Hire Pakenham
Since 1988 we’ve been providing Excavator Hire in Pakenham.
When we started in Pakenham there were cows in the field where the Pakenham sports centre is located – and there was an air field where on the Koo-Wee-Rup road with a parachute centre.
Back then we had a one 1.5 mini excavator. And weren’t we pleased with our one excavator.
It seems our customers were too as it has long gone – but our fleet has have grown to the size we very rarely run out and includes roughly 40 excavators covering the 1 tonne, 1.5 tonne, 3 tonne and 5 tonne size. We’ve plenty of attachments too – and with our great service and replacement systems and local staff who live, work and play in Pakenham make the hire of an excavator for any job in Pakenham easy.

Excavator Hire Cranbourne
Excavator Hire in Cranbourne started way back in 1986.
Actually we didn’t have an excavator to hire in our fleet at the time as we were more of a tool hire company. And it wasn’t possible to buy a mini excavator at the time.
But, after being open a while we did purchase pretty much the first Mini Excavator in Melbourne. We took it down to see the guys at Telstra who in those days had Telecom on their shirts and trucks (yes – it was a long time ago). They had a depot in Cranbourne and they liked the service we provided.
They guys at Cranbourne Telecom laughed when they saw the size of the 1.5 tonne excavator on a trailer we showed them – then they hired it for 6 months and towed it all over the Cranbourne area digging holes and filling them up again.
Of course we’ve grown from the cliched “humble beginnings” and can now help not only Telstra (who now get others to dig their holes for them) but lots of others in the Cranbourne & Tooradin area with excavator hire.
