Match the Excavator to the Dig

Digging, trenching and site preparation all call for a machine sized to the access and workload. Our excavator hire in Geelong covers compact machines for tighter sites through to larger equipment for heavier earthmoving. At Scissor Digger Hire, our current range spans 1.7t and 2.5-2.7t excavators through to a 5.5t machine, with attachments available for different tasks.

A smaller excavator can be easier to position around homes and narrow sites, while a larger machine can move more material where access allows. Attachment options include equipment for augering, breaking, grabbing and bucket work, depending on the machine. For moving and levelling loose material, our Bobcat and skid steer hire may also suit the job. Call 0477 383 545 to discuss the site and book.

FAQs

Consider site access, digging depth, the amount of material to move and the space available to work. A compact machine can suit restricted sites, while a larger excavator may be more efficient where access allows.

Common attachments include digging and mud buckets, augers, rippers, breakers and grabs. The exact attachments available depend on the excavator model and the task.

Check gates, paths, overhead clearances and the available working area before choosing a machine. Also allow enough room for safe delivery or collection and for the excavator to manoeuvre on site.
