Things to consider
•Got a big job? You will need to hire a large excavator.
•Have you got enough space to manoeuvre the excavator? Mini diggers are great if you have limited space.
•Think of the job that you need to carry out – you may need a particular attachment. Check what attachments are available and choose the best one for the job.
•What terrain will you be working on? Grass? Concrete? Mud? Mini excavators come with wheels or tracks, such as rubber or steel. If you are working on concrete look for an excavator with wheels. If you are working on rough terrain, then look for a mini excavator with tracks.
