If you fancy yourself a savvy DIYer, chances are you engage in home improvement projects on occasion. And a critical part for the successful completion of these projects is to have the right equipment. Since purchasing your machinery may not be financially feasible, your best bet is to opt for heavy equipment hire. One type of equipment that can be implemented for most projects is the excavator. Nonetheless, full-size excavators are bulky and may not be the right fit for your property. A better solution would be opting for Bobcat hire. With the right accessories, below are just a few of the projects that would benefit from mini excavator hire.
Irrigation system set-up
With more and more parts of Australia becoming affected by the spreading drought, you may be considering ways of ensuring that your yard gets proper hydration. The most common solution for this is installing an irrigation system. Compact excavators are perfect for this task, as they can simplify the process of digging up trenches on your property. Additionally, with the right tools, you can even utilise the excavator to install the irrigation pipes right into the new channels. The small size of this machinery makes it quite easy to manoeuvre without you having to worry about unnecessary property damage in the process.
Deck construction
Erecting a deck or a patio is a typical spring project for Australian households to make sure that the summertime finds your property with a convenient outdoor entertainment area. Nonetheless, before deck construction can begin, you need to ensure the ground is adequately levelled. The precision of a mini excavator works to eliminate any rocks and boulders at your preferred site. In addition to this, you can employ the compact excavator to move all debris that is created during the project away with the least effort possible.
Spa pool construction
Perhaps your property does not have adequate room for full-size pool construction. But this should not limit you from constructing a simple water feature outdoors that will allow you and your family members to cool down once the hot summer months roll around. A mini excavator is an excellent piece of equipment for spa pool construction. By outfitting the mini excavator with a tooth bucket to extract compacted earth and concluding with a sand bucket, you can dig several feet into the ground. Hence, you get the right depth for your in-ground spa pool just as a professional contractor would!
Hi all! My name's Ed, and welcome to my blog. Like many children, my son loved construction vehicles when he was young. However, although he grew out of the toy trucks, he never grew out of his interest in construction. When, at 18, he announced that he was going to be attending a heavy vehicle driving course and applying for jobs in the field, I decided to see what all the fuss was about myself. As it turns out, the world of construction equipment really is interesting! Since I started looking into it, my son and I have bonded over many conversations about bulldozers and excavators. Now I'm sharing some of the things we've talked about here.
