Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about mini digger hire in Essex.

Do I need a licence to operate a mini digger?

No, you do not need a licence to operate a mini digger on private land. However, if you are working on a construction site or public land, a CPCS or NPORS card is typically required. If you are not experienced, our digger with driver option provides an NVQ-qualified operator who handles everything for you.

Will the diggers fit through my garden gate?

Our TB210R Compact Excavator is 750-1020mm wide, which is narrow enough to fit through most standard garden gates and side access points. If you are unsure, measure your access width and get in touch. We can advise before you book.

What areas do you cover for digger hire?

We deliver within approximately 40 minutes of CM6 (Great Dunmow, Essex). This covers Great Dunmow, Chelmsford, Cambridge, Braintree, Bishop's Stortford, Saffron Walden, Stansted, Epping and surrounding areas.

What is the earliest you can deliver?

We can deliver from 7:00am, so you can start work early and make the most of the day. This is particularly useful for trade customers working to project deadlines.

What is the difference between self-drive hire and digger with driver?

With self-drive hire, we deliver the digger to your site and you operate it yourself. With our digger and driver option, we provide the machine along with an NVQ-qualified operator who carries out the work for you. The operator option is ideal for homeowners or anyone who wants the job done safely without needing experience.

How long can I hire the diggers for?

We offer flexible hire periods: 1 day, 2 days, or weekly hire. Both self-drive and digger with driver options are available for all durations. Contact us for a quote based on your project requirements.
