For many smaller building and groundworks jobs, a mini excavator is a practical choice.
They can be used for digging trenches, preparing foundations, drainage work, removing soil and landscaping. They’re also useful where access is limited and a larger excavator simply wouldn’t be practical.
JB Tool Hire has different sizes of excavators available, so you can choose equipment based on the size of your project and the space you have available.
