Perfect for my weekend landscaping project!
I’d never used an excavator before, but Carson Equipment Hire made it so easy. The machine was clean, easy to use, and came with clear instructions. The owner even walked me through everything at pickup. Highly recommend for DIY jobs!

Reliable gear and great value.
I hired the 1.7T excavator for a shed prep job. It ran like a dream and came on a trailer ready to tow away. Pricing was great and you can tell the equipment is looked after by someone who knows their stuff. Will be back for the next job.
