5 Tonne excavator hire is the perfect solution when you need to do earthmoving, but a mini excavator won't cut it, but a larger machine would be overkill. Generally considered smaller in size, 5 tonne excavators are ideal for a broad range of worksites, from road construction to backyard DIY projects.
One of the biggest benefits of excavator hire is the range of attachments that you can also hire along with the machine. While they'll usually come with a bucket, maybe two, when you hire them, excavators can also be hired with a range of attachments including compacting wheels, grabs, rock augers, hydraulic hammers and even slashers. There are even different kinds of buckets and variations of almost every attachment to choose from.
Of course, the needs of your project will dictate what kind of attachment you choose to hire. Luckily, many companies will offer attachment hire separate to their 5 tonne excavator hire services, allowing you to hire attachments individually or for shorter periods than the excavator. So if you only need your rock auger for the first 2 days of your week hire period, talk to your chosen hire company about only hiring it for the 2 day period.
Not sure 5 tonne excavator hire is the right choice for you? Then talk to your local hire company about your project's needs. These companies have years of experience and are able to accurately assess the scope of your project and provide you a list of suitable machines and attachments to suit.
If you're short on hands for your project, or not used to operating an excavator, talk to your hire company about their wet hire options. Excavator wet hire means you will not only get the machine, you'll also get an experienced operator to come out and handle the work for you as well. These operators have years of experience and can ensure your work is done efficiently and on time.
Wet hire is usually more expensive than dry hire (when you hire just the machine) so you'll need to consider which option is right for your budget. But wet hire is a fantastic option if you don't have enough staff to handle the workload or need some more extensive work done in your backyard DIY project than you can handle.
Whether you're completing a commercial project and need excavator hire for a couple of weeks, or you just need to get a quick backyard dig completed and need it for a day, your local hire company will have a range of times and hire lengths available to cater to your needs.
Contact your local hire company today to discuss their available 5 tonne excavator hire options and to find out more about their rates and hire terms.
