ZERO TAIL SWING. FITS THROUGH A STANDARD SIDE GATE.

1.8 Tonne Excavator

Our most-booked machine. Compact enough for tight residential access, strong enough for footings, trenching and general earthmoving. Runs on a standard trailer — no special permits required.

1,780 kg
Dig Depth
2,450 mm
Dig Ready's 5 tonne Hitachi excavator

SERIOUS OUTPUT FOR SERIOUS JOBS.

5 Tonne Excavator

For bigger footings, driveways, dam work and site cuts. Still small enough to manoeuvre on suburban blocks, with the dig depth and breakout force to move real volume.

Operating Weight
5,000 kg
Dig Depth
3,955 mm
