Frequently asked questions
How much does mini digger hire cost in Cork?
Our advertised 1 tonne digger is €100 per day, €200 per weekend or €300 per week. The 1.6 tonne digger is €130 per day, €230 per weekend or €350 per week. Prices exclude VAT, delivery and collection.
Can a mini digger fit through my garden gate?
Measure the narrowest clear opening, including steps and turns. Give us the measurement before booking so the actual model and access can be checked. Machine width must not be guessed.
Can I use a mini digger for garden drainage?
Mini diggers are suitable for many planned drainage trenches and garden works. Identify buried services, safe trench practices, spoil storage and ground conditions before starting.
Do you deliver from Midleton?
Our base is in Ballinacurra beside Midleton. Ask for a delivered quote to your Cork address or Eircode, subject to machine and transport availability.
Do I need a dumper as well?
A compact site dumper can help where excavated soil needs to move away from the dig. Ask for a combined quote; do not assume a package discount or delivery price.
