Perfect for confined sites
This digger is a compact machine and the ideal hire for those jobs with tight spaces and corners which require excellent precision control and manoeuvrability.

The Volvo ECR25D Excavator digger hire has a spacious cab with excellent visibility with a clear line of sight down to the bucket. The hydraulic offset of the boom reduced the overall dimensions of the excavator and made it possible to work alongside a wall, building or roadside.
The X-shaped undercarriage offered a better load distribution on the side members for more rigidity and sturdiness.
Part of the 2.5T digger hire includes a trailer hire.
