A mini digger is a versatile tool that requires knowledge and experience to operate. Although a license isn’t needed to use an excavator on private property, sufficient training will facilitate the ability to complete a number of jobs efficiently, and to a high standard. If you’re wondering what project would benefit from mini digger hire, then see below for more information.
Drainage Installation
Installing drainage is an arduous task when completed by hand. It requires digging trenches at a minimum of 500mm deep and can often span a long distance depending on location. By using a mini digger, you can save yourself time, cost and back strain. Ranging from ¾ – 7 tonne, there are a variety of different sizes to suit the job, meaning you’ll be able to seamlessly dig trenches, lay pipe, sub-base and backfill in a fraction of the time.
Site Clearance & Grading
Site clearance and grading is the perfect job for a mini digger. Depending on the size of the site and the amount of waste, you can choose a weight to suit your needs. What’s more, it makes loading dumpers, grading ground and moving skips a breeze in comparison to doing it by hand. With the addition of heavy machinery, you can move rubble, materials, soil and general waste seamlessly, whilst preparing for other projects and helping fellow trades.
Foundation Preparation
Foundations come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you need to dig footings for block and beam, or large areas for a reinforced slab, doing it with shovels and wheelbarrows is a daunting prospect. By using a mini digger, you can complete tasks like this in a matter of hours compared to days. With a capable operator, you’ll not only save time, but the cost of labour far surmounts a day’s worth of plant hire.
Reduced Digging
A mini digger is the perfect machine for reduced digging. The clue is in the name. It’s designed to make digging far more efficient and painless in comparison to old-fashioned elbow grease. Regardless of if you’re reducing a dig for groundworks, terracing, drainage or access, be sure to choose the perfect size mini digger for the job.
Installing Driveways With A Mini Digger
Installing a new driveway is a fantastic addition to a home. Block paving, tarmac, gravel and brushed concrete can add a great aesthetic to a property, whilst providing functionality and space to park. What’s more, using a mini digger for the installation can make the groundwork an easy task. When driven by an experienced operator, you can grade back, reduce levels and distribute sub-base in a matter of days, if not hours, depending on the size of the driveway.
