Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size excavator do I need for my job?

    Match the excavator to access, trench depth, reach, and spoil volume. Smaller machines suit tight residential areas and lighter trenching, while larger units handle faster bulk digging and heavier attachments. Consider transport, ground bearing capacity, and whether you need a hydraulic quick hitch or tilt for efficiency and accuracy.

  • Can I use an excavator for trenching and footing work?

    Yes. Excavators suit trenching, footing excavations, drainage runs, and site prep. Select the right bucket width for trench size, and plan spoil placement so you keep the trench edge clear. Confirm trench support requirements, keep people out of the excavation zone, and follow safe digging practices near services.

  • Should I hire a skid steer, mini loader, or excavator for site clean-up?

    Skid steers and mini loaders excel at shifting spoil, spreading material, and tight manoeuvring. Excavators are best for digging and loading, but less efficient for pushing and finishing. Choose based on your main task: moving and levelling material, or excavation and trenching. Site access and turning space also matter.
