No — we deliver and collect the excavator and its tipper trailer on our own trailer, so you never need to tow anything yourself. If you'd like the trailer left on-site for the length of your hire, add the 'leave the trailer' add-on at checkout — but carrying or towing a load isn't an approved use by default. If your job needs that, ask us before you book so we can record written approval in the Special Conditions on your Hire Schedule.
Yes — the ZX17u-5's retracted track width is 990 mm, narrow enough for a standard side gate, and its zero-to-minimal tail swing means it can dig right up against fences and walls without swinging into them.
Yes — beyond the fixed Weekend and Work Week blocks, the excavator also offers a Flexible Start option: it can start on any day (not anchored to a Saturday or a Monday), with a 2-day minimum, charged at a per-day rate. Its exact per-day price is shown live on its own page before you book.
Each machine includes an engine-hour allowance per 24-hour period of your hire, with extra hours charged at a per-item rate. The exact allowance and rate for your machine are shown at checkout before you pay.
