Compact yet powerful, the 1.5-ton Mini Digger / Excavator is engineered to deliver outstanding performance in tight and demanding worksites. With an operating weight of 1,540kg, it’s perfectly suited for landscaping, small foundations, utility trenching, and other light to medium-duty excavation tasks.
Featuring a digging depth of up to 2.25 metres and a maximum reach of 3.73 metres, this digger makes light work of deeper or awkward excavation jobs. The machine’s rubber tracks reduce ground disturbance while providing exceptional traction on a range of terrains, from soft soils to compact gravel.
The variable-width undercarriage allows the tracks to be extended for better stability during digging or retracted for access through narrow gates and tight working areas.
Operator comfort is built in. A spacious cabin with generous legroom, a flat floor, and an adjustable suspension seat helps reduce fatigue and supports productive operation throughout long working days.
Whether you’re working in a back garden or on a busy commercial site, this digger is designed to offer professional-grade results with intuitive handling and compact mobility.
Each piece of machinery equipment is delivered/ collected by our trained Errigal Plant Hire experts, who will load and unload plant safely from our lorries & vans onto your site.
Once we have the equipment delivered to you, a familiarisation handover will take place to make sure your operatives are aware of the machines basic functions and any safety issues.
This service is also standard practice in our depots where trained staff will demonstrate any hired machine at point of collection.
It’s our priority to make sure you get the job at hand done efficiently, and with the upmost safety of your operatives in mind.
When hiring any piece of quality equipment from Errigal Plant Hire you can be safe in the knowledge that it has been checked and tested by one of our technicians.

A member of our team will run the machine demonstrating all it’s functions and safety features before each hire, although we do advise that all customers read the manufacturers operating instructions before use.
