The Advantages Of Mini Diggers And Micro Diggers

Working in the construction industry is not easy, but choosing the right excavator or digger for your construction project will be well worth the initial investment. There is a wide range of diggers available to hire, from large and standard variations to mini and micro models. The difference between all of them is generally down to their features, size and weight. For example, mini and micro diggers are practically the same machine, but a mini digger is slightly larger in size and weight.

In this article, we will discuss the main advantages of mini diggers and micro diggers as well as why you should consider hiring one at DP Skip Hire for your next home renovation or small construction project.

1) Ideal For Small & Tight Spaces

It’s quite obvious, but as a general rule, large diggers are most suitable for big construction sites and small diggers work best for minor construction projects. A lot of time can be wasted on construction sites from repositioning a digger that is too large to make room for other machinery to pass through. Hiring a mini or micro digger, instead of a larger digger is a great way to save site space, as these diggers don’t need to be moved around as much, as they are compact enough to fit in small or tight spaces around the construction site.

2) Highly Functional

While being compact, this doesn’t mean they are less powerful or functional. As you would expect, most mini and micro diggers can rotate their body a full 360 degrees, just like a large digger. A range of attachments can be fixed to a mini or micro digger to perform certain tasks such as home renovations, tree planting, digging holes or trenches and removing concrete.

3) Easy To Operate

Mini and micro diggers are quite easy to operate for both construction workers and homeowners. Luckily, there is no requirement for specialist training if you wish to hire one. When you hire a mini digger from DP Skip Hire, we provide you with brief instructions on how to use the digger properly and safely. Furthermore, we would advise you to practise using the digger in a safe area in order to get familiar with the controls such as the joysticks, the foot pedals and so on.

4) Easy To Transport

It can be difficult and expensive to transport large diggers to and from a construction site. This is why mini and micro diggers are much easier to transport because they are smaller in size and lighter in weight. They can be easily transported by large lorries without the need of a special permit to transport them on motorways. When you hire a digger from us, we can arrange delivery and collection of the mini or micro digger, providing you with hassle-free transportation.

Complete and utter waste of time. Called on the supposed day of delivery at 10am as skip had not yet arrived, nor had I had any communication since booking online. Each person I spoke to simply didn't have a clue as to what was going on, didn't have my name, address or number, couldn't find my booking (despite taking payment) and that I'd have to wait for the Transport Manager after making 3 calls. I'd booked the skip days in advance and booked a day off work to complete a project. Finally after 3 calls, they'd located said skip but couldn't give me a time of delivery, stating "some time in the afternoon". I duly cancelled, called around other businesses and had a skip delivered within the hour. Won't be using again.

I booked a skip on a Sunday for next-day delivery which was a bank holiday. I received an email from Jon immediately after booking letting me know that it might be a couple of days later owing to the impact of Covid-19 which was totally understandable. The skip still arrived on the bank holiday which was hugely appreciated and we're awaiting collection now. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again, excellent service.

Been using these guys a lot for our farm, they always answer the phone promptly, they call in advance if requested, the drivers are polite and helpful and their pricing is better than other companies in the area. This is how you run a business.

07.01 and the skip truck comes up the street on a weekend, no consideration from the driver whilst loading revving the old diesel truck unnecessarily high waking literally everybody up in the street... Might of taken the driver and extra minute or two without the revs being so high, but no if he's up were all up!

Used them a few times now:Skips: Dropped off an hour after booking late on a Friday. Picked up first thing Monday morning. Their top soil is a BARGAIN! And extremely good quality. Aggregates:- slightly pricier than others, but with the free delivery, even on a single bag, this makes up for it and is probably why. (Others want 15quid to deliver)All in all, I personally can't really fault them!
