Backhoe for Hire

Considered as a bit of the site all-rounder, the Backhoe is an extremely resourceful piece of earthmoving machinery due to its ability to dig, load and transport from both front and rear.

Typical applications for its front bucket can be loading material into trucks, shifting and placing material around site and lifting equipment using the fork tynes. Similarly, it’s rear arms provides all the capabilities of an excavator and can be used for digging and loading.
Backhoes are fitted with rubber tyres and therefore are also able to be road registered, meaning that they can travel on public roads if required.

  • Fork tynes used for loading applications
  • 4-in-1 bucket the general bucket attachment with the ability to scrape and grab
  • Various bucket sizes and configurations ranging from 200mm to 1.2m in width, the different configurations available include digging buckets, mud buckets, trenching buckets and sifting buckets
  • Hydraulic augers used for drilling applications, Diameter widths commonly range from 100mm to 900mm, with varying depths
  • Hydraulic breaker commonly known as a hammer, they are used for breaking hard material such as rock, concrete and asphalt
  • Extender hoe used in applications where extra reach is needed

Dozer for Hire

A Dozer is hired to push large quantities of material. They are commonly found in bulk earthworks and quarry applications and are typically fitted with rippers at the rear to loosen densely compacted materials.

They come in many different sizes (commonly from D4 (8T) to D10 (67T)) and track configurations (Low Ground Pressure or conventional), plus can be fitted with application-specific blades for hire.

GPS Technology: commonly used to give accurate readings of ground levels, GPS technology is developing rapidly in the Dozer’s usage which allows for greater production.

Various blades: blades can be matched to the application, including 6-way Power Angle Tilt (PAT) blades

Rippers: either single or three-tyne rippers to loosen densely compacted material

Excavator for Hire

Excavators are the all-rounders of the earthmoving and construction world. Coming in a range of sizes from 1.5 tonnes up to mining spec 300 tonnes, excavators are able to complete almost any earthmoving task. Adding to their versatility the range of attachments that are compatible with excavators are too many to count. From specific to general, if there’s a need, there’s an excavator attachment for it.

Rubber tracks: 1 to 13-tonne excavators are available with rubber tracks, which are designed to minimise surface disruption to developed areas.

Bucket types/sizes: Ranging from 200mm to 2.0m in width, the different configurations available include; digging buckets, mud buckets, trenching buckets, sifting bucket and rock buckets.

Rippers: Used for breaking, ripping and picking material.

Grader for Hire

Motor Graders for hire are commonly used in the construction and maintenance of roads, site stripping applications and building pad construction where the ground needs to be shaped to a certain mould.

Using the blade, Graders are used to either cut into and shape surfaces and cast excess material aside or spread material to level. Get in touch with our team to hire cost-effectively for your requirements.

ITC Loader for Hire

ITC Loaders are an essential piece of construction equipment on most large scale construction projects. They’re able to carry and load materials faster than other earthmoving equipment without compromising capacity.

Roller for Hire

Rollers are used to compact the ground on any project, from road construction to infrastructure builds, home slabs and parkland. Rollers are a vital machine that cannot be replaced by another thanks to their very specific build.

Scraper for Hire

Scrapers are used for bulk stripping and relocation of fill material on large earthwork projects.

There are various types of Scrapers, including Elevating Scrapers and Open Bowl Scrapers.

Water Cart for Hire

Water carts are used in many applications, such as in road construction by supplying water to assist material compaction, in site management by providing dust suppression and washing dirt off public roads, and in Environmental applications through supplying water for trees and lawn when no mains water is readily available.

  • Front/Rear Intensity Spray Bars for direct and accurate spraying options
  • Front/Rear Dribble Bars for civil and road construction use
  • Hand Hose for extra reach and hand watering functions
  • Fan Spray for broad coverage options

Skid Steer for Hire

The skid-steer loader (commonly known as a ‘Bobcat’) is primarily used for the loading, shifting and placing of light material onsite. It is an extremely versatile piece of earthmoving equipment for hire, due to its ability to be fitted with various attachments to cover a wide range of jobs onsite.

Typical applications include the levelling and spreading of materials such as sand, crushed rock, topsoil and mulch onsite, the loading of material into tip trucks or waste bins or general site cleanup.

Posi-Track Loader for Hire

An identical machine to the Skid Steer Loader, the Posi Track is fitted with rubber tracks to create low ground pressure in order to operate on softer surfaces such as sand and damp ground. Because of their softer tracks, rough terrain work is not advisable.

Like the Skid Steer Loader, it’s primarily used for the loading, shifting and placing of light material onsite. It is an extremely versatile piece of earthmoving equipment, due to its ability to be fitted with various attachments to cover a wide range of jobs onsite.

Typical applications for hiring Posi tracks include the levelling and spreading of materials such as sand, crushed rock, topsoil and mulch onsite, the loading of material into tip trucks or waste bins or general site cleanup.
