  • Deeper foundations and larger drainage trenches

Pro Tip

Zero tailswing design means the cab and counterweight stay within the track width when rotating — essential for safe operation between buildings, alongside boundary walls, and on footways where space is tight.

Our 1.5 ton mini excavator is a new-generation compact excavator that delivers significantly more digging depth and reach than the 1 ton micro, while maintaining excellent access through tight spaces. The zero tailswing design means the cab and counterweight don't extend beyond the track width when swinging — essential for working between buildings, alongside boundary walls, and on footways. With greater bucket force and deeper digging capability, this machine handles more demanding excavation work: deeper foundations, larger drainage trenches, swimming pool excavations, and significant landscaping projects that would take considerably longer with the smaller micro digger. The enclosed cab provides weather protection for all-season working (important in Staffordshire!). Auxiliary hydraulics allow attachment of breaker heads for demolition work and other specialist buckets. Delivered and collected by our plant hire partner. Fuel type: diesel (from £25 +VAT fuel charge, refundable if returned with full tank). Zero tailswing for tight-space operation.
