Digger and Excavator Hire in Kerikeri
Hirecorp Machinery provides mini digger hire, trailer digger hire and excavator hire from our yard at 53 Cobham Road, Kerikeri. We have supplied plant and machinery hire across the Bay of Islands for over 25 years.
If you are searching for digger hire Kerikeri or excavator hire Kerikeri, this is the fleet we keep on the yard. Machines range from a compact 1.7 tonne Yanmar VIO17 through to 5.5 tonne Kubota and Yanmar excavators. Smaller units come on a trailer with rock, trench and tilt buckets — a straightforward option for landscaping, drainage, posts, and tight access around homes. Larger excavators suit site cuts, trenching and contractor earthworks.
Contractors, landscapers and homeowners hire from us because we are local. Pickup is from Kerikeri for trailer mini diggers (1.7–2.5 tonne). Diggers above 2.5 tonne are transported to site on our transporter. Tell us the job — driveway, trench, landscaping, or a larger cut — and we will recommend the right size rather than over-hiring.
Trailer digger hire for DIY and tight access
Our 1.7–2.5 tonne Yanmar and Kubota mini diggers are popular for weekend projects and residential work. They travel on a trailer, making for an easy pick up and unload on your section or job site. Attachments such as augers, grab buckets and grapples are available on request — see our attachments hire page.
Larger diggers — transported by us
Machines above 2.5 tonne (3.5t to 5.5t) are delivered on our transporter. These excavators are too large to tow on a standard trailer. Tell us your site access when you book and we will arrange transport.
