Make the earth move this summer

Clearing ground for construction, digging dirt for garden landscaping and simply shifting debris from place to place can all be made easy with earth moving equipment.

Dumpers, diggers and excavators can all be used to help remodel outdoor areas, whether it's transporting gravel to a driveway or digging up your lawn for a sandpit. Shifting existing mounds of debris to create a smooth, flat area ready for building can be done quicker and more efficiently with an item of machinery from Kennards Hire. You may also find they come in handy when digging trenches to lay pipes and foundations.

Mini dumpers are best for narrow access job where spaces are confined - think small backyards and narrow pathways between buildings. They can help move small amounts of earth from corners, between fences or around obstacles without the need for shovels and wheelbarrows. Some models are under a metre wide with load capacities of up to one tonne, meaning they can move big loads in tiny areas.

Hire a mini loader for jobs that require a bit more grunt, whether it's moving and leveling piles of soil or mulch or shifting gravel from truck to driveway. You can also use them for trenching and backfilling for cable laying and irrigation.

Smaller-scale jobs around the home or business, such as fencing and planting trees, can be performed in a jiffy with a mini loader. It's a manoeuvrable item of machinery as it's got a stand-on-4-wheel-drive. It can even be used to transport other heavy tools and small machines.

Skid steer loaders work well if you've got a mid-range landscaping, levelling or earthmoving job around your property. It's also perfect to help load trailers and trucks, and will make site clean up easier than ever. With power to excavate and ability to navigate areas with tricky access, plumbers, electricians and landscapers alike will love this machine.

Skid steer loaders are easy to operate, and like most machines available for hire it will come with an instruction manual and expert advice from Kennards staff. Choose between a 4-in-1 or sand bucket and enjoy a full roll over canopy for ultimate operator safety.

Whatever your project - whether large-scale commercial construction or DIY garden landscaping - earth moving tools will help you get the job done faster and better than ever before.
