Can attachments be used with any job?
Attachments like augers, grabs and stick rakes can be game-changers—if the job calls for them. An auger is best suited to posthole boring or digging in tough soil. A grab attachment helps with picking up bulky waste like palm fronds or branches. A stick rake is ideal for clearing vegetation or debris over wider areas. These are optional add-ons, usually hired for a small extra cost, and they can make specific jobs faster, easier and more precise. Not every task needs them—but when they’re right, they save hours.
What size jobs is a mini digger suitable for?
Mini diggers are perfect for small to mid-sized jobs, especially on residential or rural properties. They’re compact enough to fit through tight access areas but powerful enough to dig footings, clear stumps, or prep driveways. These machines are ideal for jobs that need more muscle than a shovel but don’t require a full-size excavator. Whether it’s posthole boring, trenching, or clearing out garden beds, mini diggers strike the balance between efficiency and manoeuvrability—making them a great all-rounder for property maintenance, landscaping or minor excavation.
Are trailer hires suitable for regular vehicles?
Most trailers available for hire are designed to be towed by standard utes, 4WDs or SUVs, as long as the vehicle is legally rated to handle the load. It’s important to check the towing capacity of the vehicle before hitching up—especially if transporting heavy items like soil, gravel or machinery. Many hire trailers are fitted with electric brakes (E-brakes), which require a compatible brake controller in the vehicle. The trailer wiring connector also needs to match—usually 5-pin round, 7-pin round or 7-pin flat. A quick check before pickup can help avoid delays or safety issues on the road.
