Rubber Duck Excavator Hire — Trusted by Contractors Across the UK for Over 20 Years
Rubber duck excavators — also known as zero tail swing or compact 360 excavators — are one of the most versatile pieces of plant equipment available for hire. Their unique design allows the upper structure to rotate within the width of the tracks, making them ideal for working in confined spaces, tight urban sites, and areas where a standard excavator simply cannot operate safely. Whether you’re working on a drainage project, landscaping job, or utility installation, a rubber duck excavator delivers the power and precision you need without compromising on manoeuvrability.
At Orbital Equipment, we offer flexible rubber duck hire packages to suit projects of all sizes. With over 20 years of experience in the plant hire industry, our team understands that every job has different requirements. That’s why we offer daily, weekly, and long-term hire options, ensuring you only pay for the time you actually need the machine. Our modern, well-maintained fleet means you can rely on equipment that’s ready to work from the moment it arrives on site.
Our rubber duck excavators are available in a range of sizes and bucket configurations to match your specific application.
