Are you in need of an excavator for your project?
Navigating the choice between purchase and hire can be difficult and time consuming.
For businesses managing multiple projects or those with short-term needs, purchasing an excavator can be a significant financial undertaking. Dry hire, on the other hand, offers a practical alternative without compromising on performance or productivity.
Flexibility is another advantage. Projects often vary in scope, duration, and requirements, and hiring allows you to scale your fleet up or down as needed. You get the right machine for the job, whether it’s a compact 8 tonne excavator or a heavy-duty 125-tonne excavator for large-scale mining operations.
Dry hire also takes the stress out of maintenance. At CPH, every excavator is rigorously serviced and inspected before hire, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency on site. Should an issue arise, our team is always at the ready to provide support, helping you keep your project on track.
Versatility at its best: What can excavators do?
Excavators are among the most versatile machines in the construction and mining sectors. Their applications range widely, making them indispensable across a variety of tasks:
- Earthmoving and land clearing: Ideal for clearing sites, levelling terrain and removing overburden.
- Trenching: Their precision digging capabilities ensure efficient trenching for utilities, pipelines and drainage systems.
- Material handling: Excavators excel at loading, lifting and transporting materials, improving overall site workflow.
- Demolition and site preparation: With the right attachments, excavators can break concrete, dismantle structures and prepare sites for development.
Why hire an excavator instead of buying?
Excavators, known for their versatility and power, are essential for jobs ranging from trenching and earthmoving to material handling and demolition.
Yet owning these machines comes with significant costs and responsibilities, which is why many businesses are turning to excavator dry hire as a smarter, more cost-effective alternative.
At CPH Mining & Civil, we provide a diverse fleet of modern excavators, maintained to the highest standards, to support your projects across the Bowen Basin and beyond. Whether it’s a short-term civil job or a long-term mining project, our dry hire solutions deliver flexibility, efficiency and reliability every step of the way.
How to choose the right excavator for your project
Selecting the right excavator for your project is essential to achieve optimal results. Before hiring, consider these key factors:
- Project scope: Smaller excavators (such as our 8 tonne machines) are ideal for compact sites or detailed tasks, while mid-sized models handle general earthmoving jobs. For heavy-duty mining and bulk excavation, larger machines like the 100-125 tonne models provide the power needed for demanding jobs.
- Attachments: Excavators can be equipped with a variety of attachments to enhance their versatility. CPH has them all including mud-buckets, GP buckets, tilt buckets, trenching buckets, rotator hitches, hammers, augers, grapples, shears, vibratory plate compactors. And we’ll help you match the right attachments to your excavator for better productivity.
- Duration of hire: Hiring is particularly effective for short-term projects or seasonal work, allowing you to align costs with project demands without overcommitting to equipment ownership.
