1T Micro Excavator Hire from True Hire
Description:

A 5 tonne excavator hire from True Hire provides a step up in digging power, reach and lifting capacity, while remaining compact enough for efficient operation on restricted and urban construction sites.

Our fleet includes multiple CAT 305 excavators, built to deliver strong performance, excellent stability and precise operator control. These machines are well suited to contractors undertaking demanding groundworks and civil engineering projects where reliability and productivity are critical.

With impressive digging depth and breakout force, CAT 305 excavators handle intensive excavation and lifting tasks with ease. Their compact radius design and balanced operating weight allow safe, productive working on housing developments, commercial builds and infrastructure projects, even where space is limited.

Having multiple CAT 305 machines available enables True Hire to support single-site or multi-site contracts, providing consistency of equipment across projects. Despite their increased capability, 5 tonne excavators remain straightforward to transport between sites, helping reduce downtime and improve efficiency.

Typical applications include drainage, foundations, bulk excavation, service installations, reinforced groundworks and light civil engineering works.
