Midi Excavators: The Versatile Choice for Medium-Scale Jobs

23 April 2025

When you need a machine that’s more powerful than a mini excavator but more manoeuvrable than a full-sized digger, a midi excavator is the ideal solution. At Bison Plant Hire, our midi excavators are a popular choice for construction and civil engineering projects across the UK.

Midi excavators strike the perfect balance between size and performance. They typically range from 6 to 10 tonnes and offer greater reach, lift capacity, and digging depth than smaller models—without compromising access to moderately tight sites.

These machines are commonly used for housing developments, utility installations, drainage works, and road repairs. Their reduced tail swing designs also make them safer to operate in urban environments or near obstacles.

If you need something smaller for garden or domestic work, check out our mini excavators or micro excavators. For heavy-duty excavation on difficult terrain, our tracked excavators are the go-to choice.

All our machines are meticulously maintained and available with quick hitch attachments for added flexibility on-site. Whether you're digging, grading, or loading, a midi excavator will help you get the job done with precision and efficiency.
