About Dig Ready
Local. Honest. Built To Last.
A small, local team focused on one thing: machines that work, delivered when we say they will.
Our Story
Started With One Machine And A Simple Promise
Dig Ready Machine Hire started with a straightforward idea: hiring an excavator shouldn't be complicated, and it shouldn't come with hidden costs. We'd watched too many customers get burned by tired machines, vague pricing and delivery windows that never held.
So we built the business the other way around. Every machine is serviced after every single hire — not when it breaks, but every time it comes back. Every price is shown upfront, including delivery and GST, before you ever pick up the phone. And every booking gets the same thing: a machine that works, delivered when we said it would be.
We're a small, local operation and we intend to stay that way. It's the only way we know how to keep the standard this high.
BIG JOBS. SMALL JOBS. GET DIRTY.
Why Dig Ready
Hire Should Be This Easy
Reliable Equipment
Every machine is serviced after each hire, not just when something breaks. What turns up on your site is what you booked — clean, fuelled, and ready to work.
Modern Fleet
Newer machines mean fewer breakdowns and better fuel economy. We invest in the fleet so you don't lose a day to a tired old excavator.
Fast Delivery
Book today, dig tomorrow — often sooner. We deliver and collect on time, because a machine that turns up late is a job that finishes late.
Transparent Pricing
The price you see is the price you pay. No surprise fees on pickup, no vague "POA" — delivery, insurance and GST are all shown before you book.
Local Business
Family-run and locally operated. When you call, you talk to someone who knows the fleet and knows your area — not a call centre.
Friendly Service
First time on an excavator? We'll walk you through it on delivery, no judgement. Most of our bookings are homeowners doing exactly that.
Safety First
Get The Job Done Safely
An excavator is a serious piece of machinery. A few simple rules keep every job safe, on every site, every time.
Operate Safely
Take your time on the controls. If anything feels wrong, stop and call us before you continue.
Wear PPE
High-vis, steel-caps and hearing protection as a minimum on any active dig site.
Dial Before You Dig
Always confirm underground services before you break ground. It's free and it's the law.
Never Exceed Load Limits
Rated capacities exist for a reason. Overloading the bucket or arm risks the machine and everyone near it.
Follow Operating Instructions
We walk every customer through correct operation on delivery — stick to it, and call us with any questions.
