Big projects start with solid groundwork. At Hire Pro on the Gold Coast, we supply earthmoving equipment that helps you clear, dig, shift and shape. From tight-access mini excavators to larger machines suited to major civil works, our range supports tradies, landscapers, builders and project managers who need dependable performance on-site.
We stock excavators from 1 tonne through to 50 tonnes, along with skid steers, posi tracks, dumpers, trenchers and a wide selection of attachments. Hiring our earthmoving equipment gives you the flexibility to scale up for bulk excavation or downsize for backyard access without tying up capital. When you’re ready to get moving, give us a call on (07) 5660 7005 and line up the right machine for your job.
Every site tells a different story. Tight residential blocks call for compact excavators that slip through narrow gates. Larger commercial builds demand heavier machines with serious breakout force. Our range covers mini loaders for landscaping prep, posi tracks for soft or uneven terrain and dumpers that move spoil efficiently across busy sites.
Attachments expand what each machine can handle – buckets, augers and specialised tools allow one base unit to tackle multiple tasks. That means less downtime swapping machines and more time progressing the job. From trenching for services to bulk earthworks and final site shaping, we help you choose equipment that matches the scale, soil conditions and access of your project.
Expand machine capability with buckets, augers and specialised attachments suited to digging, trenching and material handling. Swapping attachments allows one excavator or loader to handle multiple tasks without changing base machines.
Shift soil, gravel and debris with our site dumpers designed for tight spaces and uneven terrain. Ideal for moving spoil across construction zones where access limits larger trucks.
Our compact excavators are suited to residential projects, backyard access and service trenching. These smaller machines offer strong digging performance while fitting through narrow gates and confined spaces.
Our mid-range excavators are designed for construction, landscaping and commercial groundwork. They balance reach, power and manoeuvrability, making them suitable for footings, drainage and site preparation.
Our heavy-duty excavators are built for large-scale civil works, bulk excavation and major infrastructure projects. Offering significant digging force and reach, they suit demanding site conditions.
Compact loaders are ideal for landscaping, turf preparation and tight-access material handling; their size allows easy transport while still delivering strong lifting and pushing performance.
Our tracked loaders are designed for stability on soft, sandy or uneven ground. They provide excellent traction and versatility across construction and landscaping environments.
Highly manoeuvrable loaders suited to confined sites and rapid material movement. Compatible with various attachments, they handle digging, levelling and loading tasks efficiently.
Purpose-built equipment for installing services underground with minimal surface disruption. Ideal for drainage, electrical and plumbing projects requiring precise trenching or directional boring.
Tracked loaders, such as posi tracks, generally perform better on soft or sandy terrain due to their wider footprint and improved weight distribution. This reduces ground pressure and helps prevent bogging. Wheeled skid steers are often more agile on firm, compacted surfaces and can be faster for short movements.
Choosing between the two depends on site conditions, weather and the type of material being handled. Assessing ground stability before hiring helps avoid delays and recovery issues.
For service trenching, narrow trench buckets and dedicated trenchers are commonly used. Augers may also be required for post holes or pier footings. The correct attachment depends on trench width, depth and soil composition. Hard or rocky ground may require specialised cutting tools or rock buckets.
Matching the attachment to the machine’s hydraulic capacity ensures efficient performance and reduces strain. Planning attachment requirements in advance can streamline installation of plumbing, electrical and drainage services.
Transport suitability depends on the machine’s weight and dimensions. Smaller excavators and mini loaders can often be moved on plant trailers rated for the load, provided towing capacity and licensing requirements are met. Larger excavators and heavy equipment require specialised transport due to size and weight limits.
It’s essential to confirm vehicle towing ratings and local road regulations before organising transport. Incorrect loading or overloading can create safety risks and legal complications.
Selecting the correct excavator size depends on access, depth requirements and soil type. Smaller 1–2.5 tonne machines suit backyard access and tight residential blocks. Mid-range excavators handle footings, drainage and moderate excavation. Larger 10 tonne plus machines are better for bulk earthworks or commercial builds.
Consider working space, transport logistics and ground bearing capacity before choosing. Using a machine that’s too large can restrict movement, while one that’s too small may slow progress.
