Looking for reliable digger hire in Cambridge, Saffron Walden or Bishop’s Stortford? GR8 Tool Hire supplies a range of micro diggers, mini diggers and larger tracked diggers for domestic, landscaping, groundwork and construction projects.
Our digger hire range includes compact machines for tight access, as well as larger excavators for heavier site work. Whether you are digging foundations, preparing a driveway, clearing ground, landscaping a garden or working on a construction project, our team can help you choose the right machine for the job.
With daily, two day and weekly hire rates available on selected machines, GR8 Tool Hire makes it simple to hire the digger you need, when you need it.
Our micro diggers and mini diggers are ideal for jobs where access is limited but digging power is still needed. These compact machines are suitable for garden projects, trenching, small foundations, drainage work, landscaping and domestic groundworks.
The smallest diggers in our range are designed for tight access, making them useful for properties with narrow gateways, restricted paths or limited working space. If you are unsure which size digger is right for your project, our hire team can talk you through the available options before you book.
Depending on the scale of your excavation project and the specific construction work being done, we provide a wide range of equipment rental. If you're not sure which type of digger is appropriate for the job, contact our team of highly trained hire specialists by phone or via our online enquiry form.
Choosing the right digger depends on the access, digging depth, ground conditions and the type of work being carried out.
For tight access and smaller domestic work, a 0.75T micro digger is often the best option. These machines are compact enough for narrow access areas while still offering the digging power needed for garden, drainage and landscaping jobs.
For general groundwork, driveway preparation, patios, trenching and small construction projects, a 1.8T digger gives you more reach, power and stability while still remaining compact enough for many domestic and commercial sites.
For heavier excavation, site clearance and larger groundwork projects, a 3T, 5T or 8T digger may be more suitable. These machines offer greater digging depth, lifting ability and performance for more demanding work.
If you are not sure which machine to choose, contact GR8 Tool Hire and we will help match the right digger to your project.
