While compact excavators are widely used on construction and landscaping projects, they are also practical for property improvement works such as reticulation trenching, water pipe installation from tanks and dams, drainage upgrades, stump removal and general excavation on larger residential and rural properties.
Why Hire a Digger?
A digger is usually the right machine when the primary task is excavation rather than loading or moving material.
Compact excavators are commonly used for trenching, drainage, footings, retaining wall preparation and controlled excavation close to structures or services.
On sites where access is restricted, a compact excavator can provide the digging reach and control required without bringing in larger equipment. They are particularly effective in free-digging materials such as sand, while excavation in limestone or other rock formations may require specialised attachments.

Digger Hire vs Bobcat Hire
A common question is whether a project needs a digger or a Bobcat.
If the work is excavation-led, trenching-led or footing-led, a digger is usually the better option because it provides the digging reach, control and geometry needed for excavation work.
If the work is focused on loading, spoil movement, backfilling, levelling or clean-up, our Bobcat Hire Perth page may be more relevant.
Many Perth projects benefit from using both machines together, with the excavator performing the digging while the skid steer supports spoil movement, backfilling and site clean-up.
