Need a different machine for a longer Brisbane hire?
For mid-term and longer-term Brisbane hires, other machine sizes may also be available, including 0.9T and 2.5T excavators at attractive longer-hire rates. Availability depends on the hire period and job requirements, so contact Frank with your dates and what you need the machine to do. After-hours calls are welcome.
Attachments included. No extra hire charges.
The listed daily rate includes the confirmed attachment package for that machine and location. There are no separate daily hire charges for the included attachments.
Tell us what you need to dig, break up, auger, move or clean up and we will confirm the suitable machine and attachment combination for the job.
See the equipment and attachments page for examples of the attachments available across Digger2Hire.
Delivery and collection
$150 within approximately 20 km where applicable
Longer-distance delivery can be quoted individually. Collection arrangements and towing requirements depend on the selected location and machine.
Delivery, return and collection times are arranged directly with you. Where practical, after-hours arrangements can be made rather than working around fixed standard depot opening hours.
Choose or change your location for the relevant local details.
Payment at handover
We confirm the machine, attachments, delivery or collection arrangement and total price before the hire is arranged. A hard-copy hire agreement is signed at handover. Payment is taken when the machine is delivered or collected after the required ID and handover checks are complete.
