Dig Trenches, Footings and Drainage

Mini Excavators Rental FAQ
How deep can a mini excavator dig?
Machines in the 6,000-8,000 lb class dig deep enough for most residential water, sewer, drainage and footing work. Tell us your required depth and we will confirm the machine reaches it.
What do I need to tow a mini excavator?
A 6-8k mini excavator plus trailer needs a heavy-duty pickup with the right hitch and brake controller. Call us with your truck details and we will help you check.
Mini excavator or skid steer?
Rent a mini excavator to dig below grade: trenches, footings, stumps and ponds. Rent a skid steer to grade, carry and load above grade. Many jobs use both.
