9 and 14-Tonne Excavators with Our Operator

For bulk earthworks, site strips and big digs we supply 9 and 14-tonne excavators, always with our own NPORS operator in the seat. A 9-tonne with driver is from £425 plus VAT per day on weekly hire; a 14-tonne from £475. Single days and short hires are priced per day on our rates page. Ring Rory on 07545 265075 with the job and postcode.

How it works

One contract, one insurance line, one operator you've already met. We match the machine spec to your site - zero-swing for tight boundaries, low-ground-pressure for soft going, standard for open sites - and we stand behind the work on every job, whatever the size of the machine.

9-tonne class - typical spec

Operating weight~9 t
Max dig depth~4.5 m
Overall width~2.3 m
Day ratefrom £425 + VAT

Typical figures for this size class - the exact machine and its spec sheet are confirmed when your job is booked in.

When you need this size

Site strips over roughly 500m³, farm lagoons and large ponds, demolition muck shifts, long drainage mains, development groundworks. As a rule of thumb, a 13-tonne machine moves roughly four times what a 3-tonne does in a day - on bulk work the bigger machine is nearly always the cheaper machine.
