Excavator Hire
Stuck tackling a project that demands more than muscle and a shovel? Consider calling in a compact excavator. These nimble powerhouses pack a surprising punch, conquering tasks like digging foundations and trenches, shaping landscapes, clearing demolition debris, excavating for pools, and even laying pipes and cables. Forget about bulky machinery clogging up your tight spaces – compact excavators navigate with ease, making them ideal for urban projects and backyard transformations.
Description
Chief Hire has a range of Kubota excavators for hire in Cessnock and the Hunter Region including three sizes to match your project.
The compact 1.7-ton model tackles landscaping, trenches, and small foundations with ease, especially in tight spaces thanks to its zero-tail swing.
The 2.5-ton offers more power for bigger excavations, demolition projects, and pool installations, keeping you comfortable in its spacious cabin.
And for major site prep, heavy materials, and even large demolitions, the 3.5-ton beast delivers power and versatility through its strong hydraulics and varied attachments. Choose your perfect size and let Kubota do the heavy lifting, leaving you to enjoy a job well done.
