Mini Digger Hire with Mark One

Mark One offers professional mini digger hire in Southend, Basildon, Rayleigh. Chelmsford and the Essex & London area. Our mini diggers are ideal for home projects as well as heavy-duty work and our micro diggers can help when space is at a minimum.

Using Mark One Hire means you can tackle trenching, landscaping, groundworks, and site clearance without owning and maintaining heavy machines.

We also know that every site is different and poses its own challenges such as ground conditions, access constraints, load requirements, and manoeuvring space. That’s why we have a range of machines, that are well maintained, and ready for your job from the moment they’re delivered, all backed by Mark One Hire’s expertise.

As we’re local, you get fast delivery and back‑up whenever you hire.

Why hire a mini digger?

Our mini digger and micro digger hire lets you choose from tracked excavators that can on an as-you-need-it basis. We’ve built a range that’s well suited for jobs like site prep, drainage, foundations, or landscaping works.

For jobs in tighter or more delicate areas, our mini diggers provide that same site flexibility, just on a smaller scale. And for larger contracts, we have excavators that offers greater digging depth, load capacity, and reach.

Our hire service allows you to avoid the cost of purchase, maintenance, insurance, and storage. You get access to modern, professionally serviced machines as you need them and you can tackle each project with the right equipment without burdening your budget or yard.

Professional Excavator Rental

Choosing to rent gives you several advantages. First, there’s capital costs that comes with owning large plant machinery. Things like security, storage and maintenance add up. You’ll also avoid ongoing servicing, insurance, and compliance overhead. Renting allows you to scale your fleet based on the demands of each project. You get machines that are well-maintained and inspected before and after each hire, reducing the chances of downtime and on‑site failures.

Opting for our local mini digger hire also means you get fast delivery and professional support if you need it. If something doesn’t perform, we can often send a replacement quickly when you need it. Working with Mark One Hire gives you an advantage in the service you can offer.

What Machines Can I Hire?

At Mark 1 Hire, you’ll find a range of machines to match your different workloads, site conditions and operational needs:

  • Micro diggers (K008,U10) with a smaller footprint and versatility for tight access, trenching, or small groundwork tasks
  • Mini diggers (1.7T, 2.7T, 5T) when you need greater reach, digging power or depth
  • Accessories including hydraulic breakers and rammers, road plates and ground mats, and auger flight and drives

We include standard attachments like buckets (narrow, ditching, grading) and we’ll pair them with the right equipment once we have a bit of detail about your hole depth, travel distance, and access.
