Mini Excavators: Versatile Solutions for Landscaping and Utilities

When precision is key and space is limited, mini excavators shine. These compact machines are widely used for landscaping, utilities, and small-scale construction, making light work of jobs like trenching, kerb installation, garden renovations, and drainage connections.

Bison Plant Hire’s mini excavators range from 1.5–3 tonnes, combining small footprints with surprising hydraulic power. Many models feature zero or reduced tail swing for safe operation in confined spaces, while rubber tracks protect lawns, driveways, and finished surfaces from unnecessary damage.

Their compact size also makes them easy to transport, position, and manoeuvre on tight sites. With a broad range of attachments — from augers to breakers — one machine can handle multiple tasks, saving both time and costs for contractors and homeowners alike.

We back every hire with full support: safety briefings, insurance cover, and rapid servicing to keep your project on schedule. Whether you’re a tradesperson managing multiple sites or a homeowner tackling a one-off project, our mini excavators provide professional results in a compact package.
