Services
Mini Excavator Hire
Our 720mm-wide mini excavators access spaces inaccessible to standard machinery. Ideal for under-house construction, pool excavations, and retaining wall digs. Rubber tracks protect surfaces while delivering precise excavation up to 3.5 tonnes capacity across Brisbane's challenging terrain.
Rock Breaking
Equipped with Toku hydraulic breakers, we tackle hard rock and concrete for utility trenches or foundation work. Our compact machines deliver industrial power in confined spaces, turning shale and sandstone into manageable debris for efficient removal.
Trenching Services
Specialising in electrical, water, and gas line trenches with precision digging to 3m depth. We comply with 'Dial Before You Dig' regulations, ensuring safe installation of services while navigating tight access constraints across residential and commercial sites.
Post Hole Drilling
Our auger attachments drill 200-450mm diameter holes up to 3m deep for retaining walls or landscaping. The excavator-mounted system reaches 3m from the machine, handling rocky conditions while maintaining positional accuracy for structural integrity.
Tipper Hire
Our 9-tonne 6m tipper efficiently moves soil, rubble, and construction materials on-site. Ideal for garden clean-ups, land clearing, and bulk material delivery, with capacity to handle 20m loads for large-scale landscaping or development projects.
