HOW EASY IS IT TO HIRE AND USE AN EXCAVATOR

POSTED ON

1.    If you have driven a tractor or a truck or car and have a correct drivers licence endorsement, and not frightened of having a go, then that’s the first step passed

2.    Have you ever towed a trailer before or confident too, this is the second question you have to ask yourself

3.    Is your car or ute big enough to tow and does it have the correct size rated drawbar? For example, our 1.7 Ton Excavator requires a 2.5 Ton rated drawbar, 2 Ton ex requires 3 ton rated drawbar, and our 2.5 Ton ex requires a 3.5Ton rated drawbar.

4.    Are Excavators easy to operate, pretty straight forward, start out in the open where there are no obstructions and have a go with it first. Within 20-40 minutes your confidence levels will be right up.

5.    If it is specialised work, then we may recommend you contact a contractor.

6.    Yes, we will give you familiarisation before you go
