Coates Group are regularly asked to supply mini diggers for projects of all types including larger commercial and smaller residential sites. Half of the challenge in construction is waste removal and site clearance, as both can hinder progress and create safety issues. That is why our clients often hire mini diggers for either a day, weekend, or entire weeks at a time.
Between the bucket size, vehicle width, and the type of fuel required, it can be difficult to know which mini digger is right for you. Add to this the varying mini digger prices for hire and the process of selecting the right machine can be time-consuming. We have written an easy guide to digger hire updated for 2022, including how much our three most popular mini diggers cost to hire.
Wacker Neuson 803 Micro Digger: £65 – £150 to Hire
Starting with the smallest and most affordable machine, the Wacker Neuson 803 Micro Digger. This pintsize excavator packs a punch and is the smallest digger we supply. At just 720 mm wide and approximately 931 kg in weight, the Wacker Neuson is perfect for internal excavation, particularly as the rubber tracks do not damage flooring. The digger also comes with three different grades of buckets, making it perfect for footings and larger garden landscaping.
How much does the Wacker Neuson 803 Micro Digger cost to hire?
The Wacker Neuson 803 costs £65 per day to hire from Coates Group.
Per Day: £65.00
Per Week: £220.00
Weekend: £150.00
Kubota KX61-3: £90 – £195 to Hire
Another popular mini digger in our collection is the Kubota KX61-3, coming in at 1,400 mm and 2.6 tonnes. We believe it is the most efficient, on-the-job performance vehicle available, due to the mini excavator’s control levers. The Kubota KX61-3 boasts the largest digging depth in its weight category, as well as the greatest digging and lifting power. Able to fit through standard-sized fence panels once removed, this machine is ideal for house footings, extension footings, site clearance, and levelling.

Kubota U50: £140 – £250 to Hire
Finally, we present the Kubota U50. At 1,960 mm wide, it is the largest of our selection. However, it is still the smallest of Kubota’s five-tonne range, so is a popular choice for large-scale sites and commercial renovation projects. If you need a mini excavator with maximum power, the Kubota U50 is the machine for you. Its powerful Stave V-compliant engine and efficiency-enhancing operator controls make the Kubota U50 capable of taking on tasks of all shapes and sizes.
