Excavator & Earthmoving Rental

Excavators, backhoes, loaders, dozers, dump trucks and rollers — everything you need from the first dig to final compaction.

Earthmoving

Dig, Load, Haul and Compact With One Supplier

Earthworks rarely need just one machine. A typical job moves from excavation to loading, haulage, spreading and compaction — and every handover between suppliers is a chance for delays. With TractRent you can hire the whole earthmoving chain from one fleet, on one schedule and one invoice.

Our specialists size each machine to your soil type, dig depth, haul distance and access, so the excavator matches the trucks, the trucks match the loader and the roller finishes the job properly.

Questions

Before You Book

Short answers to the questions we hear most about this service. If yours is not here, call us — we are happy to talk it through.

It depends on dig depth, bucket width, access and how much material you are moving. As a guide, 1.7–3 t suits gardens and service trenches, 5–8 t suits house foundations, and 13 t+ suits bulk excavation. Tell us the job and we will recommend a size.
Yes. Digging, trenching and grading buckets are standard, and breakers, augers, rippers and grabs can be added. Attachments are tested with the machine before dispatch.
