Brisbane availability, delivery and collection
Digger2Hire’s Brisbane dry-hire service operates from Cannon Hill. The brand-new Kubota U17-3 is Brisbane’s primary excavator.
Standard delivery and return is $150 within approximately 20 km where applicable. Longer Brisbane distances are quoted individually. Approved U17-3 customer collection from Cannon Hill is by appointment only: the tow vehicle must be manufacturer-rated for at least 3,500 kg braked towing capacity and have a compatible, functioning electric trailer brake controller. The loaded U17-3 package is estimated at approximately 2,700 kg with attachments and may approach 3,000 kg with mud. The custom trailer is plated 3,500 kg; this is a maximum rating, not actual load. A full open driver’s licence, comprehensive insurance and all applicable vehicle, trailer and combination limits are required before collection is approved.
Is the U17-3 right for my Brisbane job?
The 1.7T Kubota U17-3 is the practical starting point for many Brisbane residential excavation, drainage, trenching, landscaping and post-hole jobs where compact access matters. It retracts to 990 mm wide, but suitability depends on the complete access route, the work required and site conditions.
For machine details and included equipment, view the Kubota U17-3. Before choosing, check your narrowest usable access and compare the machine against your excavation and spoil requirements.
