// 02 — Services

What we
actually do.

Three core offerings, all powered by brand new gear. Flexible hire arrangements. 4-hour minimum hire. Local rates on the Fleurieu, regional rates available across SA at cost. No hidden fees.

// 01 — Excavator

Hitachi ZX55U Mini Excavator

Five-tonne mini excavator — small enough to fit through gateways and tight residential blocks, powerful enough for footings, trenching, and serious site prep work.

Hire it three ways: wet hire (machine + me operating), dry hire (you provide your own ticketed operator), or day rate (fixed price for a full shift). 4-hour minimum hire.

  • Mud Bucket (large, for clean trimming & bulk)
  • 450mm bucket
  • 300mm bucket

Specialty Attachments (extra cost)

  • Auger Drive (post holes + drilled footings)
  • Rock Breaker (hydraulic hammer)
  • Compaction Wheel (trench compaction)
  • Skeleton Bucket (rock sorting / sifting)
  • Ripper Tooth (rocky ground)
