Compact excavation with more digging capability.

Our 1.5t mini digger hire is a practical mini excavator hire option for domestic and light-commercial groundwork. It is well suited to drainage, trenches, landscaping, footings and small foundations where a micro digger may not offer enough reach or capacity.

The retractable undercarriage can still help with restricted access, while the larger hire class gives more useful working capacity for everyday excavation. Check the route, working width and ground conditions before ordering.

It is a step up from a micro digger, but it still needs careful access and delivery planning. The exact supplied model and specifications may vary by manufacturer and depot availability.

Retractable access

Typical machines can retract to around 980mm, helping with narrower routes. Measure the whole route, including turns and steps, before ordering.

More digging capability

With approximately 2.4m maximum digging depth, this class offers more reach for drainage, trenches, footings and landscaping tasks.

Versatile site work

A useful fit for domestic and light-commercial groundwork where a compact but capable excavator is needed.

Is this 1.5t mini digger right for your job?

A 1.5t mini digger can suit drainage runs, landscaping, small foundations, footings, service trenches and other domestic or light-commercial groundwork. It provides more reach and capacity than a micro digger while remaining practical for many restricted-access sites.

Check the planned digging depth, operating weight, route width, turning space and unloading area. A machine width alone does not guarantee that it will pass a route with turns, steps, slopes or other restrictions. A larger excavator may be more appropriate for heavy, deep or high-volume work.

Plan the hire around your site.

Before you order

Make sure the site has suitable access and enough space for delivery and operation. If there are narrow gates, restricted access or unusual ground conditions, tell us before ordering so we can check the setup with you.

Delivery and collection

We will agree a safe delivery and collection arrangement with you. The equipment remains your responsibility until it has been physically collected.

Typical supplied machine may vary by manufacturer and depot availability. Confirm critical dimensions and digging performance before hire where access or excavation depth is important.

Attachments and buckets

A range of buckets is normally supplied with the digger. If you require a particular bucket type or size, tell us when ordering so we can confirm what is available for the supplied machine and depot. A hydraulic breaker may be available on request for an additional charge; availability should be confirmed when ordering.
