An enclosed cabin dumper offers a safer and more comfortable operating environment for your operator, particularly on longer or more demanding projects. The enclosed cab provides protection from dust, noise, and the elements that makes it a popular choice on large scale construction sites and projects running over extended periods. Standard site dumpers are a practical and cost-effective option for shorter term works where operator comfort is less of a priority.
We offer both 6-tonne and 10-tonne enclosed cabin dumpers alongside our standard site dumper range to suit different project requirements and budgets.
We stock a wide range of excavator and loader attachments to help you get more out of your hired machinery on site. Some of our most popular attachments include:
Excavator attachments:
- Rockbreakers and rocksaws for breaking and cutting through hard rock and concrete
- Rippers for breaking up compacted and hard ground prior to excavation
- Pulverisers for demolition and concrete crushing
- Augers for drilling and boring works
- Buckets for general digging and excavation in a variety of sizes
Loader attachments:
- Harley rakes for surface preparation and soil conditioning for landscaping and civil works
- Mulchers and slashers for vegetation and scrub clearing on land development projects
- Fork attachments for lifting and moving palletised materials around site

Tracked loaders distribute their weight more evenly across a wider surface area, giving them superior traction and stability on soft, wet, muddy, or uneven ground where a skid steer would struggle. Our tracked loader range runs from 30hp through to 90-100hp, including a 50-60hp Bobcat tracked loader, catering to a wide variety of earthmoving and material handling applications on challenging terrain. Skid steer loaders, on the other hand, are highly manoeuvrable and perform extremely well on firm, stable ground that makes them the better choice for confined areas, site cleanup, and landscaping works on more forgiving surfaces.
All equipment is available on flexible dry hire terms to suit both short-term and long-term projects across Australia. Hire durations can be tailored to your project timeline and budget, from a short-term excavator hire through to a tracked loader on site for several months. We also offer reliable delivery and pickup services across Australia, including Sydney, NSW and Brisbane, QLD as well as its surrounding regions.
