Excavator Hire Melbourne

Getting the right excavator for a job matters as much as the job itself. Too small a machine and the work takes longer than it should. Too large a machine and it can't get through a gate, around a pool, or into a tight side access block. SMM Concreting Landscaping offers excavator hire for homeowners, builders and businesses across the whole of Melbourne, with every machine operated by our own crew, not subcontractors.

What Is

Excavator Renting?

Excavator renting, also known as excavator hire, is the hire of an excavator for a project, either as dry hire (machine only) or wet hire (machine with a qualified operator). Most of our clients hire wet, since it means the job gets done by someone experienced with the machine rather than the property owner or builder having to operate unfamiliar equipment themselves.

Machine size is the detail that gets overlooked most often. A mini excavator suits a tight backyard or a narrow side access block, while a standard excavator is a better fit for an open site or a larger scale job. Hiring the wrong size machine either slows a job down or makes it impossible to complete without damage to the property, which is why we assess site access and scope before recommending a machine rather than offering a single size for every job.

Types of Excavator Hire We Offer

Mini Excavator Hire Compact machines suited to tight side access, small backyards and jobs with limited working space.
Standard Excavator Hire Larger machines for open sites, bigger volumes of earthworks and jobs where reach and dig depth matter.
Wet Hire (With Operator) The excavator and an experienced SMM operator, so the work is carried out by someone who knows the machine and the job.
Dry Hire (Machine Only) The excavator supplied on its own for clients who have their own qualified operator.
Short & Long Term Hire Hire arranged for a single day, a defined project timeframe, or a longer term as the job requires.

Excavator Hire

Right Size Machine The excavator is matched to the site and the scope of work, not a one-size-fits-all machine.
Experienced Operators Wet hire means the machine is run by someone who knows how to use it properly on your site.
Flexible Hire Terms Hire arranged around the length and scale of your project, from a single day to a longer term.
No Guesswork on Access Access and site constraints are assessed before a machine is booked, so the right size arrives on the day.
