Day, weekend or week?

Weekend hire costs the same as one and a half days, but you have the machine from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. If you are digging at the weekend, it is almost always the cheapest option.

If you need the machine for a week or longer, call us. We will give you a price for the whole period.

What comes on top?

• Insurance and return inspection. The insurance covers damage and theft while you have the machine. The return inspection is the check we carry out when it comes back. Both are set out in the rental terms.
• Fuel. Return the machine refuelled and you pay nothing extra. Otherwise we refuel it and invoice what you have used.
• Cleaning. Same rule: return it clean, or let us clean it and pay for the time it takes.
• Transport, if you do not collect yourself. A pickup with trailer costs NOK 890 per hour, and a hook-lift truck with machine trailer NOK 1,350 per hour, excl. VAT. See transport.

What is included?

• The mini excavators come with a digging bucket and a grading bucket.
• The excavators come with a tiltrotator, digging bucket and grading bucket.
• Instruction when you collect the machine. It is included.

You can also hire a narrow bucket, hydraulic breaker and stone grab.

What size do you need?

The biggest price difference lies in your choice of machine. A machine that is too small makes the job slow, and one that is too large costs more and may not get in. Read What size mini excavator do I need?

If you want to collect it yourself, your car and driving licence must be able to handle the weight. A 1.9-tonne machine comes to around 2.7 tonnes with the trailer. Read Can your car tow a trailer lift or mini excavator?
