Digger Hire FAQs
In the UK, there is no legal requirement to hold a licence to operate a digger on private land. However, operators must be competent and follow all relevant health and safety regulations.
For commercial construction sites, employers are generally expected to ensure operators hold recognised certification, such as:
- CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme)
- NPORS certification
If you are unsure about the requirements for your project, our team can provide guidance before you confirm your hire.
We offer a range of digger attachments alongside our excavator hire service, including:
- Hydraulic breakers for concrete, tarmac, and rock removal
- Augers for post-hole drilling and fencing projects
Attachments can be supplied through our account system for trade and regular customers.
If you require a specific attachment, call 01494 55 99 00 and our team will confirm availability and compatibility with your chosen machine.
