Midi Excavators are similar to mini excavators because of their rubber tracks and minimal tail swing. The difference is that midi excavators are mid-size machines which weigh anywhere from 10,000 pounds to 19,999 pounds. You can still use midi excavators in tight and narrow areas, but you will get a lot more power and performance out of them in comparison to the mini excavators.

The most common projects that would require a midi excavator include digging huge trenches, digging for a commercial size in-ground swimming pool, and various road or motorway construction projects. However, you cannot ride the midi excavator onto an actual paved road because the tracks and weight of the machine could damage them. The midi excavator must only be used on dirt and soil-based terrain.

Bison Plant Hire has midi excavators available. The choices include the KUBOTA U48-4, KUBOTA U55-4, KUBOTA KX080-4, and the DOOSAN DX85R-3. The capabilities of the digging depth are between 3,000 and 5,000 millimetres on average. Each machine has a specific level of depth in which it can dig. A representative from Bison Plant Hire can recommend the best midi excavator model for your specific project & needs.

You can rent a midi excavator for one day, five days, six days, or however many days you want. When you enquire about our midi excavators, we’ll let you know the price per day for the particular excavator that you want. If you need an operator for the midi excavator to be included, then we can arrange for that at an additional cost.

Overall, midi excavators are not too difficult to learn. All customers receive free documentation on how to use the specific model that they’re hiring. It is not a huge machine, so the instructions should be pretty straightforward. And, of course, you can always ask the customer service representatives if you have any further questions.
