FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a 1.5 tonne excavator is right for my job?
A 1.5 tonne excavator is ideal for residential and small-scale projects like trenching, drainage, yard clearing and driveway preparation. Its compact size makes it easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces where larger machinery might struggle. If your job involves detailed excavation or limited access, it’s likely the right fit. For larger or commercial-scale jobs, it’s worth confirming equipment suitability with a professional.
Can an excavator be delivered to a residential property?
Yes — many hire services deliver equipment directly to residential addresses. You’ll just need enough space for safe drop-off and storage during the hire period. This is especially useful if you don’t have a trailer or tow vehicle. Always confirm delivery and pickup arrangements before locking in the hire.
What attachments are available for different tasks?
Mini excavators often come with bucket options for different applications. For example, a 300mm or 400mm bucket may be used for trenching or digging footings, while a mud bucket is great for clearing and levelling soil. The right attachment can make a huge difference in job speed and efficiency. It’s important to choose based on your specific site and task.
