Rubber Duck Rental — Trusted Plant Hire with 20+ Years of Experience
A rubber duck excavator — also known as a rubber duck digger or compact tracked excavator — is one of the most versatile pieces of plant hire equipment available. Designed for use on sensitive surfaces where steel tracks would cause damage, rubber duck machines are ideal for landscaping projects, utility work, residential builds, and any site where ground protection is a priority. At Orbital Equipment, we supply rubber duck hire to contractors and homeowners across the UK, backed by over 20 years of plant hire expertise.
Our rubber duck excavators are available in a range of sizes to suit the scale of your project. Whether you need a compact 1.5-tonne machine for tight access work or a larger 5-tonne model for more demanding excavation tasks, our fleet is maintained to the highest standards to ensure reliability on site. All machines are thoroughly inspected before dispatch, so you can be confident the equipment arrives ready to work.
