Digger Hire in Oxford

From clearing a garden for a new lawn to digging out the foundations of a sizeable extension, the size of the job decides the size of the digger. Bison Plant Hire supplies self-drive mini and midi diggers to Oxford, delivered on our own transport from South Cerney, near Cirencester, where our yard is on Broadway Lane.

Bison is family-run, has over forty years in plant hire and holds CPA CollectiveMark accreditation, and our machines are serviced and inspected before every hire. You can find everything else we supply in the area on our Oxford plant hire page.

Mini Diggers for Gardens and Smaller Groundworks

Our mini digger range covers most domestic and small commercial work. The Kubota U-10 is our micro machine for tight access; the U17-3 is a compact all-rounder; the U27-4 and KX030-4 give more reach for trenches and footings; and the U48-4 is the largest of the minis, for heavier digs.

The Kubota KX085-5 for Bigger Jobs

When the dig is deep, the ground is heavy or there is a lot of material to move, a midi excavator is the better tool. The Kubota KX085-5 is one of the newest machines in our fleet and suits bulk excavation, larger foundations and bigger drainage schemes. If your Oxford project is on that scale, ask about it when you call.

Getting a Digger to Oxford

Every machine can come to you on our own transport from South Cerney, with the delivery priced by distance to your site. Mini diggers can also be collected from the yard on a suitable trailer, and our guide to towing a mini digger is worth reading before you do.

For a job that will run on, remember that a week's hire costs less per day than two or three days.

Preparing the Site

Before delivery, make sure there is firm, level ground where the machine can be unloaded and a clear route to the dig, free of low cables and overhanging branches. Locate underground services before any digging starts. If there is anything unusual about the access, tell us when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mini or midi: how do I decide?

Gardens, patios, drainage runs and small footings are mini digger work. If the dig is deep, the material is heavy or the site is large, the KX085-5 midi will save time. Describe the job when you call and we will give you a straight recommendation.

Do you deliver diggers to Oxford?

Yes. We bring machines to Oxford from South Cerney on our own transport and price the delivery by distance, giving you the figure when you book.

What should I have ready before delivery?

Firm ground to unload onto, a clear route to where you are digging, and any underground services located and marked. Standard buckets come with the machine; if you need an attachment such as a breaker or an auger, add it from our attachments range when you book.
