Dry hire supplies the excavator unit only, allowing your business to utilise its own certified operators. Wet hire includes an operator provided by the equipment hire company. Miniquip specialises strictly in dry hire, providing project managers with complete schedule control and lower labor overheads.
No formal government ticket or heavy machine licence is legally mandated to operate mini excavators on private property or commercial construction sites under dry hire terms in WA. However, site safety regulations require operators to be competent and follow site safety induction procedures.
For spaces under 1.0 metre wide, the Kubota U10-5 featuring retractable tracks is ideal. For access pathways between 1.0m and 1.3m, the 1.6-tonne Takeuchi TB216 provides added digging depth and breakout power while maintaining narrow clearance.
Micro excavators like the 1.2T Kubota U10-5 and 1.6T Takeuchi TB216 can be self-collected on a compliant dual-axle plant trailer using a 3.5-tonne rated tow vehicle. Larger excavators over 2.0 tonnes are delivered directly via our tilt-tray transport fleet.
