Excavator Hire – Melbourne

Excavators for hire in Melbourne

iseekplant offers an extensive selection of excavators suitable for commercial, residential, agricultural, mining and civil project requirements.

Whatever the type of job, our suppliers have you covered.

• Civil Jobs – usually between 5-tonne and 30-tonne excavators are found on sites conducting infrastructure development, roadworks, or improving drainage systems. A very common civil-sized machine would be 20 tonnes.
• Residential Jobs – on residential construction sites, usually 1-tonne to 10-tonne excavators assist in preparing the land, digging foundations, and landscaping.
• Commercial Jobs – for larger commercial developments, you’ll often see a 14-tonne working on the groundwork, but anything up to 30 tonnes can be used in the case of digging massive basements or footings.
• Agricultural Jobs – anything under about 30 tonnes can be found doing agricultural work. Many farmers own smaller excavators they use every day and hire in the bigger ones when building dams or clearing land.
• Mining Projects – You need the big guns – heavy-duty mine spec excavators. These start at 30 tonnes and go to 200 tonnes.
