When to Hire a Trencher

Need to dig trenches efficiently? Hiring a large trencher can make your job faster and easier. Here’s when you should consider it:

Underground Utility Installation

Quickly and cleanly lay cables, pipes, and other utilities. A trencher saves you time and hassle, making the process smooth and efficient.

Irrigation and Drainage Systems

Perfect for landscaping projects, trenchers make easy work of irrigation and drainage systems.

Fiber Optic Cable Installation

Trenchers provide the precision and accuracy you need to lay delicate fibre optic cables without straining your budget or project timeline.

Footing and Foundation Work

A trencher will guarantee you get the right depth and width for your foundations and footing, giving your project a solid start.

Water Line Repair and Maintenance

Safely trench for water line repairs and maintenance, digging precise trenches, speeding up the process and minimising disruption.

Planning Your Trencher Hire

Planning your trencher hire properly means you can enjoy a smooth and hassle-free rental experience that’s tailored to your specific project needs. Not sure where to start? Follow our simple steps below:

  • Figure out the trench depth, width, and length you need, and think about the soil type and any obstacles, like roots or rocks, that could impact the trenching process.
  • Pick the trencher that suits your job. Walk-behind trenchers are great for smaller, precise tasks, while ride-on trenchers are better for bigger projects with longer trenches. If you need help, our team are just a call away.
  • Check if you need a special licence to operate the trencher. Don’t worry if you don’t have what you need – we offer a full turnkey service and can set you up with skilled operators to get the job done.
  • Book the delivery and pick-up times to fit your project schedule; just make sure we have good access to the site.

Fully Operated Trencher Rentals

Whether it’s a short-term task or a long-term project, we’ll set you up with a flexible plan that includes a professional operator. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll handle the rest. Get your free quote today or give us a call to discuss your options.

Trencher Hire FAQs

Take a look at some of our most commonly asked questions below. Can’t find what you need? Just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to help.

What are the different types of trenchers you offer?
We offer a wide range of trenchers, from the Marais SC4P trencher, perfect for cutting on footpaths, to the Marais Cleanfast Trencher, which vacuums debris as it digs. No matter your project needs, we have the trencher you’re looking for.
What factors should I consider when choosing a trencher?
When you choosing a trencher for your project, make sure you keep the following in mind:
  • Project size and trench requirements: Match depth and width capabilities to your needs.
  • Soil conditions: Choose a trencher suitable for your terrain (clay, rocky ground, etc.).
  • Access and manoeuvrability: Consider site limitations and choose a size that fits.
  • Budget and rental duration: Compare rates and choose a cost-effective option for your project timeline.
What are the typical costs involved in trencher hire?
The typical costs of trencher hire vary depending on the type of trencher, rental duration, delivery fees, and any additional services. Mini trenchers might start around $100 per day, while larger ride-on models could cost several hundred per day. Get in touch with our team for a quote tailored to your exact needs and project requirements.
Can I use the trencher to cut through other materials besides soil?
Trenchers are primarily designed for soil excavation. Attempting to cut through asphalt, concrete, or other hard surfaces can damage the machine and void the rental agreement. Stick to soil for safe and efficient operation.
What are the daily or weekly rates for trencher rentals?
The daily and weekly rates for trencher hire vary widely and depend on the model you’re looking at. Call us today for a free and detailed quote.
Are your trenchers suitable for different ground conditions?
