Expert Answers for Leicestershire Hire

What is the difference between a mini digger and a micro digger?

The primary difference is size and access. A micro digger is designed for restricted access, featuring a slim chassis (approx. 700mm) to fit through doorways. A mini digger is slightly larger (1-5 tonnes) and offers more power and depth, making it better suited for foundations and heavy trenching.

Do you offer plant hire in Loughborough and Hinckley?

Yes. With dedicated depots in Loughborough and Hinckley, we offer rapid delivery across the entire county. Our central location in Coalville also allows us to serve the wider Leicestershire area, including Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Market Harborough.

Can I hire a rotavator for a residential garden in Leicester?

Absolutely. We provide rotavator hire for both commercial landscaping and domestic use. Our team can demonstrate how to safely operate the machinery upon delivery to your home.
