Are you looking for a reliable Excavator Hire on the Sunshine Coast? Look no further, Fraser Earthworks & Co, has you covered!
Excavator Hire on the Sunshine Coast for all Types of Projects
Whatever the size or type of construction project you have to complete, you’ll almost always have use for an excavator on the Sunshine Coast. Even if you have a large construction company with a fleet of machinery, excavator hire in Caboolture and elsewhere can provide additional resources to support your fleet for specific tasks.
Smaller companies may not have sufficient work to justify investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in their own excavator so digger hire on the Sunshine Coast can provide the necessary equipment without incurring significant capital costs. Similarly, a small, one-off residential project such as digging out for a swimming pool can be helped tremendously by excavator hire. We have a wide range of excavators, both big and small, and with a variety of different features, so can provide exactly the equipment you need for earthworks on the Sunshine Coast in a cost-effective manner.
Flexible Hiring from Our Wide Range
Excavator hire gives you great flexibility because you can order exactly the excavator you need with the required functionality and of the correct size. Whether you need 15t excavator hire to move large quantities of material quickly or smaller 5t excavator hire for greater speed and manoeuvrability, we have exactly the machine you need. Our range also includes mini diggers for small projects in confined spaces and excavator rock breaker hire if you need to go below the subsoil and break up the underlying strata or dig out large rocks.
At Fraser Earthworks we also have excavator hire with operator included (known as wet hire) or digger dry hire where you simply pay for the excavator and provide your own operator. In the latter case, there’s no requirement to have a specific licence but the operator needs to be competent and able to handle the dry hire excavator, including manoeuvring, loading and moving materials in a safe and efficient manner. You do need to comply with Australian Work Health and Safety laws and certain types of work may require a high-risk work licence. Read More
Our Flexible Approach to Excavator Hire
Whether you need a small and manoeuvrable 5 tonne excavator hire or something bigger, if you want a machine that can access narrow areas, need excavator mulcher hire or an excavator with a rock breaker or other attachments, we have exactly the right machine for you. With or without a driver, on long or short-term rental, we have flexible terms as well as a wide variety of equipment.
All our large and mini excavators for hire on the Sunshine Coast are late models, well maintained and machines that can handle a variety of earth-moving tasks across all types of terrain. They’ll save you time and effort to get your projects completed quickly — on time and within budget — and all without the capital costs and maintenance needs of running your own fleet.
We’ll take the worry away so you can just get on with the job and we’ll advise on the best machines for you to complete specific tasks. For flexible hire at affordable rates, contact us and we’ll ensure you complete your projects with minimal effort and maximum productivity.
Equipment Hire Sunshine Coast: The Heavy Stuff
What we mean by equipment hire in Caboolture and other places on the Sunshine Coast is excavators, diggers, hydraulic breakers and more. At Fraser Earthworks we have a big fleet of these workhorses. We offer diggers for hire because the average person doesn’t need to own a digger, just as we do hydraulic breaker hire because you also don’t need one of those in your yard all the time. These are the kinds of machines that do specialised jobs and the only people who need to own them is a company that provides them for specific excavation and construction projects. Which means us.
We are responsible for maintaining a fleet of late model machines that do things the way they should be done these days: without undue noise and with low emissions. Heavy plant is not all about brute strength anymore; the muscle is taken for granted but now the world also expects an environmentally friendly attitude – and we’re all in favour of that.
We also take responsibility for keeping our plant in good condition, serviced and ready to go. Insured, too, because this is a very safety-conscious industry on account of being potentially hazardous, so everybody ought to be covered.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire an Excavator?
Our plant hire rates are very competitive, but the cost really depends on exactly what you need, so you should get in touch for a quote for your job. If you know pretty much exactly what you’re looking for, ask for a price for that. If you’re not sure, we can tell you our 20-ton excavator hire rates compared with our excavator wet hire rates. There are grader hire rates and earthmoving wet hire rates.
Before you can put an accurate budget together you may need to tell us about your project in some detail so we can provide precisely what you need. Having the right tool for the job could mean you don’t need the biggest option, and a smaller machine might be easier to manoeuvre and operate, which can be important on a busy site.
If you’re looking for “post hole digger hire near me”, that is very different from excavator hire cost per day, so talk to us and let us help you to get the perfect choice of equipment hire on the Sunshine Coast.
One thing is for sure: we have a superb array of machinery and tools to deal with whatever you’re up against and we’ll supply them to you in excellent condition and for as long as you need them. Read Less
