We have mini diggers available for hire nationwide. These 1.5T excavators allow the operator to dig up and remove large amounts of earth, sand, gravel, rubble, and more. They are powerful pieces of plant equipment that work quickly and efficiently. They have a maximum dig depth of 2250mm and are ideal for any utility sector and construction industry. So whether you are digging a pond, landscaping a garden, installing equipment underground, or moving large amounts of building materials into a dumper or skip, mini diggers are perfect for the job. These machines come with a range of bucket sizes for various applications. We can also provide additional accessories, such as concrete breakers, augurs, post knockers, and window shutters.
These mini diggers are very easy to control. Even someone without any experience can use one effectively. The operator console is designed for comfort and ease of use. They feature adjustable wrist rests and a fully adjustable seat to enable any user to find their preferred position. These mini diggers have simple levers and joysticks for all of the hand controls. They also feature peddles for any function that is controlled by foot. The robust tracks allow you to easily handle uneven and challenging surfaces, including concrete, grass, soil, rocks, and gravel. The tracks are also adjustable between 990mm and 1240mm widths. The narrow footprint means that the plant can access sites through more restricted spaces. When you fully extend the tracks, they offer superior stability in the work field.
These mini diggers have a conventional design. The fuel-efficient engines are easy to access and easy to maintain. Plus, all of the front attachment cylinder pipes are inside the boom. With the pipework integrated in this way, it is not exposed and cannot incur damage during use. The main hydraulic cylinder itself is mounted on top of the boom. This design ensures that the cylinder never comes into contact with any raised ground or obstacles. You can safely leave these mini excavators unattended, as a secure anti-theft system protects them. They are ideal machines to have on long-term construction sites, road works, and domestic jobs.

I always use Mammoth for plant hire because of the discounted rates. It's the same equipment you pay twice as much for other other hire companies.

We offer extremely competitive hire rates for plant. Our mini diggers are available for 24 hours, 48 hours, weekends, and weekly periods, with discounted prices for our trade and DIY customers. Enquire online or by phone for a quick quote.
If the mini digger is being driven on public roads, then you will need a licence. If you are working on a private or domestic site, then you will not need a licence to operate the plant. However, if you are using the excavator on a construction site, then you will need relevant training, and you may be asked for a certificate of competence.
Our mini diggers are compact machines with a narrow working footprint. The tracks are adjustable between 990mm and 1240mm widths, allowing access to areas with restricted space and stability during use. These excavators have a height of 2330mm (2350mm with the cabin attached), length of 3710mm, and weigh 1490kg (1540kg with the cabin attached). Mini diggers offer a maximum dig depth of 2250mm. Our micro diggers are the smallest excavators that we have in our hire fleet. They have a minimum width of 700mm with the tracks retracted, and 860mm with the tracks extended.
Familiarise yourself with the instruction manual and any warning stickers that are present. Examine the machine to ensure that there are no loose or damaged parts. Check for leaks, damaged cables, problems with the tracks, and other potential hazards. Ensure that the plant is filled with enough fuel, check the engine lubricant and coolant levels, and locate the fire extinguisher. Now you can climb into the operator’s console. Inside the mini excavator, you will find an armrest and controls on the left hand side. It is usually pushed up and out of the way of the door. Pull the armrest down and lock it into place. Next, fasten your seatbelt securely and look around the operator’s console. Locate all of the gauges and controls that are available, and establish where the ignition switch is. The ignition switch is usually on the right hand side or overhead. In the excavator’s cab, you will find a set of joysticks, levers, and pedals. The joysticks control the boom and bucket operation and rotate the cab to the left and the right. The levers control the drive tracks, the throttle, and the front blade. The pedals control the high speed option (if available) and the pivot function of the bucket. With the digger turned off, move each of the controls to get a feel for how they perform. Any movement of the controls will cause the machine to respond immediately, so it is best to be familiar with their motion before you start work.

From 1st April 2022, our suppliers will only fuel machines with white diesel. This is due to new government guidelines.
If you, as the hirer, refuel any equipment while it is in your possession, it must be with WHITE DIESEL.
YOU MUST NOT USE RED DIESEL IN HIRED MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT.
If you return a machine refuelled with rebated diesel, suppliers will have to remove and dispose of the fuel. They must also flush the tank and supply lines before they can refuel them. The process is chargeable, with no exceptions.
An insurance charge will be calculated at checkout. If you have proof of your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI) and wish to opt-out of the insurance charge, you can do so by booking via Live Chat.
