Wet and dry excavator hire available

When looking for an excavator through our Get a Quote tool, be sure to clarify whether you want wet or dry hire.

Excavator hire locations near to Adelaide

Because Adelaide is a relatively small city, there are a more limited number of operators working out of Adelaide who service the whole of South Australia from one central location. Many Western-Australian-based plant hire companies have depots in Adelaide, and likewise many Victoria plant hire companies.

It's common to see big plant hire guys operate out of WA, SA and NT.
