Excavators & Heavy Equipment Hire
Maximum digging power and control — crawler and wheeled excavators for trenching, foundations, demolition and quarry work.
Digging machines that earn their keep.
From compact 8-tonne site excavators to 36-tonne quarry units, every Ironclad digger is less than six years old, serviced every 500 hours and fitted with quick couplers, buckets and telematics as standard. Wheeled options are available for road-going work between sites.
- 8t, 14t, 21t and 36t crawler excavators
- Wheeled excavators for multi-site work
- Breakers, grabs and augers on request
