Choosing the Right Digger for Your Residential Project Whether you’re carrying out a home extension or digging trenches for drainage, having a digger on site will save you both time and back ache. Sometimes, people forget that plant hire isn’t limited to professional construction projects.
At Roger Miles Plant Sales Ltd , this month’s blog looks at some of the diggers you may want to hire for your residential project. For more information, call us in Goole on 01405 869200 .
Micro Digger Micro diggers are very compact and narrow. They often have retractable tracks which means they can fit through garden gates. A micro digger is often used for landscaping projects, digging out ponds, foundations and more.
As they are easy to operate, these diggers are designed with residential users in mind. However, they still possess a lot of features that larger machines have.
Mini Diggers Mini diggers are also great for garden projects and digging trenches. They also come in different weights. 1.5 tonne mini diggers are versatile and more compact. Some offer the option of offsetting the main arm. This enables you to dig alongside a wall or fence.
3 tonne mini diggers offer a dig depth of up to 3 metres. This means they are great for larger landscaping projects or digging foundations.
A 5 tonne mini excavator is still compact. However, they will not fit through narrow garden gates as they are slightly wider. These achieve a 4 metre dig depth and are great for digging foundations and earth clearance.
Do I Need A License? There’s no need to hold any specific permit to operate a mini digger – as long as it’s for private use on a private property. If you are unsure, you can enquire with the hire company.
