Describe your job and our suppliers will send you quotes
Welcome to iseekplant, Australia's leading online marketplace connecting construction experts with a wide range of construction equipment and resources. With our extensive listing of equipment from over 26,500 trusted suppliers in the commercial and civil construction sectors, we offer a vast selection of excavator and truck combos available for hire.
Excavator and truck combos are essential for projects that require excavation and the movement of materials, waste, or earth. Many of our Excavator and Truck combos also come equipped with a versatile skid steer loader or bobcat for added earthmoving grunt.

Excavator and Truck combos can be procured on both wet hire terms (inclusive of operator and fuel) and dry hire (exclusive of operator and fuel) and as mentioned, often include a bobcat or skid steer loader in a set of 3 powerful earthmoving rigs. Wet hire - which is where a qualified operator manages both the truck and the excavator (and the skid steer) - is more prevalent in the combo hire space. Dry hire is less frequent, but some providers offer this option provided you can demonstrate some past experience with operating machinery yourself or some assurances that you have a trained operator on site already.
Here are the standard hire rates (please note, these are estimations, regional variations apply, and GST is excluded):
Combo Type | Avg. Dry Hire Rates (per hour) | Min. Dry Hire Hours | Avg. Wet Hire Rates (per hour) | Min. Wet Hire Hours |
---|---|---|---|---|
Excavator and Tipper Truck (sometimes includes Skid Steer Loader) | $90 - $170 | 8 Hours | $110 - $230 | 4 Hours |
Excavator and Flatbed Truck | $100 - $180 | 8 Hours | $120 - $240 | 4 Hours |
Excavator and Water Truck | $110 - $190 | 8 Hours | $130 - $250 | 4 Hours |
The standard hire rates for combos are not the full picture of what you’re project will likely cost.
