Need a different machine for a longer Brisbane hire?

Attachments included. No extra hire charges.
The listed daily rate includes the confirmed attachment package for that machine and location. There are no separate daily hire charges for the included attachments.
Tell us what you need to dig, break up, auger, move or clean up and we will confirm the suitable machine and attachment combination for the job.
See the equipment and attachments page for examples of the attachments available across Digger2Hire.
Delivery and collection
$150 standard delivery for eligible machines
Standard delivery and collection are $150 return for eligible 0.9T, 1.7T and 2.5T plant-trailer machines within approximately 20 km where applicable. Longer distances are quoted individually. The 5.5T ViO55-6B requires suitable flatbed-truck transport, so its delivery and collection price is quoted based on the job location. Collection arrangements and towing requirements depend on the selected location and machine; the 5.5T is delivery only.
Choose or change your location for the relevant local details.
Payment at handover
We confirm the machine, attachments, delivery or collection arrangement and total price before the hire is arranged. At handover, we confirm your ID, complete the hire agreement electronically on our tablet and take payment. Your signed agreement is emailed to you on the spot before the equipment is released.
