Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Mud Bucket?

A mud bucket is an attachment that is used to safely transport mud away. It is extremely useful for creating a big trench or pond. It may also help to remove obstructions in the soil, and with loading heavy materials.

Do You Need To Have A Licence To Operate An Excavator?

In NSW, you need a licence to operate any excavator as this is considered trade work. To apply for a licence you must also complete the required qualification. For more information visit the NSW Fair Trading website.

What Size Excavator Do I Need?

The excavator size depends on the type of work you need to complete. If you’re only needing small excavations and are working around existing structures in narrow areas, a 1.5 tonne excavator will be most suitable.
