Kubota K008 Micro Digger Hire

The Kubota K008-3 sits at the bottom of our excavator range by size, not by capability. It's the machine we recommend whenever access is the real constraint on a job — a side return, a rear garden reached through the house, or a space too tight for anything wider. Despite the compact footprint, it still digs, lifts and manoeuvres like a proper excavator, just scaled to fit where bigger machines can't go.

• Restricted-access sites, including rear gardens and narrow side passages
• Garden landscaping and re-levelling
• Drainage runs and small trenching jobs
• Small excavations — footings, ponds, soakaways

At under 900mm wide, it'll pass through most standard garden gates and side gates — worth measuring your narrowest point before booking if access is tight.
