GPS-integrated Excavators for any Project

AUSDIG offers a comprehensive range of mini, midi, medium, and large excavators for hire across Australia. Sourcing our excavators from only top brands such as Caterpillar and Hitachi, we ensure you always get the best of the best. Our well-built and well-maintained machines are thoroughly inspected prior to every project we undertake, so they always work at top performance, no matter the ground conditions.

Whether working in a tight-access area in Melbourne, the beaches of the Central Coast, or on the slopes of the Flinders Mountains, AUSDIG’s excavators are built for your project. With GPS-integrated systems for increased accuracy and productivity, our plant and equipment enable us to support projects of any size and type from start to finish, wherever it is across Australia.

Our Excavators

We offer Hitachi mini excavators to any project requiring tight-access excavation or excavation around infrastructure including powerlines.

Our mini excavators are fully mine spec, with safety rails, anti-burst valves, cut out switches (internal and external), and exhaust socks to comply with all mine site regulations. In line with general safety regulations on construction sites across Australia, they feature tilt hitches and hydraulic safety pins.

Both compatible with buckets, ripper attachments, and rock breakers, these mini excavators are versatile and fully equipped for a range of projects. Don’t be fooled by their size, either – as rubber tracked excavators, these Hitachi minis can operate on all terrains, packing a punch wherever you need them.
