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.

Free Cleaning
Excavators get dirty and we clean them for free.
We have the high pressure washer, 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 have a range of “non-standard” buckets (smooth edge, gummy bucktes – they don’t have any teeth – wider 450mm dig buckets etc) available . 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.
How much does it cost for Excavator hire?
The longer you hire an excavator, the cheaper the daily rate.
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. Just a little more than our 24 hour hire rate with 8 hours use on the machine – but you get 2 days to do the job.

1 tonne, 1.7 tonne, 2.5 tonne.

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 an air field on the Koo-Wee-Rup road with a parachute centre.
Back then we had a one 1.7 mini excavator. And weren’t we pleased with our one excavator hire company?
It seems our customers were too as it has long gone – but our fleet has grown to the size where we very never run out and includes roughly 40 excavators covering the 1 tonne, 1.7 tonne, 3 tonne and 5 tonne size. We’ve plenty of attachments too – and with our great service and replacement systems and 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 1.7 tonne excavator hire 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, Clyde and Berwick area with excavator hire.

Excavator Hire Mornington
Back in the late 1990’s we opened our branch in Mornington for excavator hire.
Takeuchi was the brand we hired at the time – and since then we’ve hired Cat excavators, Kobelco, Kubota and now our branch of choice is Yanmar.
Having a fleet of excavator hire in Mornington of the same brand makes it easy for the supply of spares as well as familiarity of our fleet for our regular Mornington customers.
But we won’t let brand loyalty get in the way of giving our Mornington excavator hire customers the best available – so now it’s Yanmar.
And we do a good trade in used excavators as well. When you rent an excavator, you don’t want an old model with too many hours on it. Our Mornington excavator hire is all low hour and we move them on at about 1000 depending on the used market in our local Mornington area and further away and leave some profit for the next owner.
So, if you need excavator hire in Mornington, give us a call. And while we guarantee we won’t be the cheapest (or the most expensive) we’re sure you’ll be happy you hired and excavator from us.

Excavator Hire Ferntree Gully
Excavator Hire in Ferntree Gully was a big hit as soon as we opened back in 2008.
Our local Ferntree Gully hirers weren’t happy with being taken advantage of by some of the bigger excavator hire companies in the area so when we arrived and introduced our fair same day rates and longer term hire rates we were overwhelmed with demand. “What’s the point of a four hour excavator hire rate” was the comment we heard more than once, “by the time they get the excavator loaded and you get to site it’s time to unlaod and race back if you want the 4 hour rate”.
So we have fair rates which include free cleaning and a trailer.
