Question 1

Do I need experience to hire a mini digger?

Accepted Answer

For self-drive hire, yes — you need to be competent and confident operating the machine. If you're not sure, go with our operated hire option. We'll send an experienced operator who'll get the job done safely and efficiently.

Question 2

What size digger do I need?

Accepted Answer

For most domestic jobs — digging footings, landscaping, driveways — a 1 tonne mini digger does the job nicely and fits through standard garden gates. For bigger excavation or site work, the 3 tonne machine gives you more reach and power. Give us a call and we'll help you decide.

Question 3

How much does plant hire cost?

Accepted Answer

We offer daily and weekly rates depending on the machine. Prices vary by equipment and whether you want operated or self-drive. Give us a ring or drop us a message and we'll give you a straight quote. No obligation.

Question 4

Do you deliver the machinery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver and collect across North Yorkshire. Delivery is included within a reasonable distance, and we'll agree any transport costs upfront for jobs further afield. The machine turns up ready to work.

Question 5

What's the difference between operated and self-drive hire?

Accepted Answer

With operated hire, one of our team comes with the machine and does the work for you. With self-drive, we drop off the machine and you operate it yourself. Operated hire is great if you want the job done without the learning curve. Self-drive suits experienced operators who just need the kit.
