Micro Digger Hire

Narrow-access micro diggers for gardens and doorways

Overview

About Our Micro Digger Hire

When access is the problem, a micro digger is the answer. Narrow enough to pass through a standard doorway or a tight side passage, it gets excavation power into back gardens and courtyards that larger machines simply cannot reach.

Despite the small footprint there is real digging capability here, making light work of footings, ponds, drainage and landscaping in spaces where a wheelbarrow and spade used to be the only option.

Ideal for

  • Rear gardens with narrow access
  • Garden ponds and water features
  • Shallow footings and bases
  • Lifting slabs and small-scale clearance
  • Internal or courtyard excavation

Questions & Answers

Micro Digger Hire Questions, Answered

Our micro diggers start from around 700 mm transport width, so they fit through most standard doorways and the tightest side gates. Measure your narrowest point and we will confirm the right machine for the job.

Yes, for most domestic footings, ponds and drainage it has ample reach and breakout force. For deeper or heavier work we would recommend stepping up to a 1.5 tonne mini digger.

Micro diggers are light and run on rubber tracks, so ground disturbance is minimal. We can also advise on boards to protect finished surfaces during the hire.
