Need help picking the right size excavator for your job?

Which excavator size do you need?

Excavator size is mostly about access and dig depth. As a general guide based on our current fleet:

  • 1.7t (Kubota U17) — narrow undercarriage, suited to tight side access, small garden beds and trenching around existing structures.
  • 2.5t (Kubota U25) — a step up in dig depth and reach for pool surrounds, driveways and mid-size landscaping.
  • 3.5t (CAT 303.5) — more digging power for footings, larger trenching runs and general construction site work.
  • 5.5t (Yanmar VIO55) — our largest excavator, for bigger earthworks and construction jobs needing extra reach and breakout force.

Not sure which one fits your job? Send us your job details or call 0468 991 155 and we'll recommend the right machine.
