Thanks to their rugged design and ability to dig and transport dirt, rubble and other materials across worksites with ease, mini loaders have quickly become one of the most popular and well-utilised machines in the country.
Most mini loaders will have a standing operation panel, where the operator stands on the back of the machine controlling it using the control panel. Some larger models do have cabins and seats, but these are often considered skid steers rather than mini loaders.
Mini loaders are most commonly used for digging and piling sand, dirt and rubble on construction sites. Thanks to the durable bucket and powerful arms, mini loaders are able to pick up large quantities of material at a time. Making it far more efficient than shovelling or manually moving them.
Of course, one of the biggest benefits of a mini loader is its size. Thanks to its small frame (relative to an excavator or loaders) it is able to fit into tighter work areas and can be transported on a trailer. This is particularly helpful for projects in residential areas or backyard where access can be limited and a larger machine may not be able to access the work area at all.
Your local mini loader hire company will have various models available for you to choose from to suit your needs. Whether you need a track or wheeled machine, or need something even smaller than normal, there's a wide range of options available.
Also ask about additional buckets and attachments that may be available. Many loaders are compatible with a range of different size or type buckets, which can be helpful if you need to dig a couple different kinds of rubble. Or have specialist needs that a normal bucket can't handle.
As with more machinery hire, mini loader hire will often come with the choice of dry or wet hire. Meaning you can hire the machine with an operator (wet hire). This will generally be more expensive than just hiring the machine (dry hire), but can actually be cost-effective if you don't have anyone with the necessary skills or time to handle the task.
