Whether you need a compact machine for a tight residential garden, a drainage project, or a larger groundworks contract, our fleet of well-maintained mini excavators is ready to be delivered directly to your site. We offer flexible hire periods to suit every project, from a single day through to long-term contracts, ensuring you only pay for the time you need.

All machines in our fleet are regularly serviced and safety-checked, so you can be confident they will perform reliably throughout your hire period. Attachments including buckets, augers, and hydraulic breakers are also available, allowing you to adapt the machine to the specific demands of your project without sourcing additional equipment elsewhere.

Mini excavators are the go-to solution for a wide range of construction and landscaping tasks in London. Their compact footprint makes them particularly well-suited to urban environments where space is at a premium — from narrow side passages and back gardens to basement excavations and utility trenching on busy streets. Despite their small size, modern mini excavators deliver impressive digging depth and breakout force, making them a highly versatile and cost-effective choice compared to larger plant machinery.
At Orbital Equipment, we understand that downtime costs money. That is why we maintain a large, well-stocked fleet and offer responsive customer support throughout your hire period. If you encounter any issues on site, our team is on hand to provide fast assistance. We work with contractors, developers, landscapers, and homeowners across London, building long-term relationships based on reliability, competitive pricing, and genuine expertise in plant hire.
