Self-Drive Or Operated Mini Digger Hire?

A mini digger is a versatile piece of plant machinery which can be used in various applications across many different industries. Whilst a mini digger is less bulky than larger diggers, you may be surprised that this in no way compromises its ability to deliver a fantastic performance.

Get the job done

Hiring a mini digger is a viable alternative to investing more money in a larger workforce which may not work as efficiently or as effectively. Whether you’re digging up your old driveway to make way for a new one, digging the footings for a much-needed house extension or planning a pond which will encourage nature to make a home in your garden, a mini digger is the ideal piece of machinery which will get the job done.

Perfect for excavating, clearing, material handling, heavy lifting and ground levelling, any project will come on leaps and bounds if a mini digger is involved. If you have decided that your project requires the involvement of a mini digger, the next step is to determine whether you need a self-drive or operated machine.

Self-Drive or Operated

If you have used a mini digger in the past, you might be inclined to take your chances and climb aboard yourself. If you are working on private land, and not riding the digger on the road at any point, you don’t need a license in order to operate the machinery. However, with technology developing faster than ever before, things may be a little different to how you remember.

If you don’t have the time to familiarise yourself with the operation of a mini digger and you need to get started straight away, it’s a good idea to look for the hire of mini diggers which will be controlled on your site by experienced operators. These highly experienced and fully certified people have thorough knowledge of plant operation and will be a great help to you, especially if you are working to a tight deadline.

The operator of a mini digger will only need a quick briefing of what is required of their services prior to beginning work. They will dig in line with your project’s requirements and you won’t need to worry about whether they have adopted the right technique or are operating as efficiently as possible.
Hiring a self-drive mini digger may save you a bit of money. However, have you considered how much your time and effort is worth? If you would like to discuss your own requirements for mini digger hire, you are more than welcome to contact a member of the team at Anglo Plant Hire who will be happy to be of service.
