So, naturally the client came to us to get a digger in to clear the section.

A clamshell excavator attachment was used to remove all the greenery and waste, leaving the section neat and tidy.

What is a clamshell digger?

Clamshell excavators are shaped liked a clamshell and are great for rubbish removal and greenery removal. This is because the clamshell attachment closes in on the item and holds it firmly while the digger arm pulls the item up and into the truck.

Why use a clamshell Excavator?

Using a clamshell Excavator saves time as it speeds up the process of a massive job. This is due to the fact the clamshell can hold and remove massive amounts that a normal digger bucket can’t.

What can you remove with a clamshell excavator?

Green Waste

General rubbish

Builders Waste

Construction Waste

Household Waste

Timber and Metal Fences

Sheds

And more!!!

Digger work can be stressful and take many hours, that’s why hiring a digger with an experienced operator can save you time, money and any mistakes.

So, before you hire a digger consider these things:

How big is your project?

Determining the scale of your project will help you understand how long the project will take and what machinery you need to complete it.

If you have a large piece of land that needs section clearing, digging or levelling, you may be looking at around 2-3 weeks of work, although if you have a small area, you would be looking at around 1 to 2 days work. It all depends on the project and the scale of land you are working with.

Likewise, the bigger projects need different machinery then the smaller projects, therefore, if you are looking for a digger with an operator for a small home project, we can help you out!

Locate your cables and pipeline

If you are digging trenches, holes or anything that could potently hit a pipeline or electrical cable you will need to ensure that the area you are digging in is free of any of these two things. If you are unsure about your property, you can go to beforeudig and enquire about where your cables are under your property. If this doesn’t give you all the information you need, you can always hire a professional cable and pipe locator to tell you. If you are hiring a digger for a building project, you can require where your cables and pipelines are from the Auckland council with your building consent.

Other obstacles you need to overcome

There are other surroundings you need to look at before you decide on what digger to hire. Look at the dimensions of your walkway and entrances to determine if the digger can fit through to the worksite.

Also, it is best if you look ahead weather wise when hiring a digger, as you don’t want the soil too wet or too dry.

If you think your property has some rough terrain, inform the digger hire service before they start, so they know which digger is best for your land.

If you are completing a small home project, whether its material laying or small demolitions, we provide the best digger services for the Auckland region. Our digger hire comes with an experienced digger operator and we can guide you through the process we are going to take to complete your job. Call us now on 0800 514 514 or email us on info@williamspropertyservices.co.nz for more information.  

Of course, diggers are expensive to buy and most commercial companies only have massive diggers that you can hire that are just too big to get into smaller properties. That’s where we come in!

Our digger is the perfect size for all home projects and ready to be hired at an affordable price!

On top of this our team can take away the waste and soil for an additional cost, so that you don’t have to discard of the waste yourself and don’t need to go searching for another company to do it.

How it works

Call our friendly team on 0800 514 514 to discuss your project plans and the purpose of hiring a digger. During this time, you would need to send in a few photos of the area, so our staff can get a better idea of the size and area our team will be working with.

Next, our operator will give you an estimated quote, if you are happy with this estimated quote, one of our staff members will swing by and do an onsite quote.

After this, if you are happy with the onsite quote, our team will book you in.

On the day, our digger operator will arrive onsite with the digger, ready to get started with the project.

Our digger operator will get to work using the digger for your intended purpose. Our operator will work safely and efficiently, making sure everything is done to quality standard.

After the job is done, you are left with a brand-new piece of land.       

To see a previous digger job we completed with our digger read our blog “Digging up buried rubbish with a digger”.

If you would like to hire a digger, which comes with an operator specialist, please call us on 0800 514 514.                        

Getting a digger is the easiest and most efficient way to get the project started, it saves you A LOT OF TIME, a sore back and removes all that unwanted and unsafe rubbish out and off of your property.

With this, comes many questions and uncertainties that weigh on your mind.

These include questions like: What is under that corner section? What is under that broken/dry section in our back yard? Why can I see mussel shells sticking out of the ground in the middle of my backyard? Are there pipes underground we should be aware of before starting?

Of course, we will work through these questions with you.

There have been a few cases of some properties that have been built on an old landfill and over time broken glass bottle, needles, plastic pieces or even buried couches have surfaced and been discovered in backyards. This is a safety hazard for young children, pets and property owners.

On top of the rubbish concern, accessing the area on your property you want cleared may be difficult and may require dismantling fences, gates or removing a clothesline. But don’t worry, we can also restore these things after the job is completed.

Sometimes you have to obtain council approval before you begin a big project or before we start digging. This is not optional and must be done before any work can commence. If this isn’t completed, watermains, pipes, internet cables and underground power lines can be hit and damaged. This can result in you paying money to fix any damages, which we want to avoid.

We have all the connections to finding these things out about the pipes, etc. underground if you need some guidance before you start.

Types of Buried Rubbish?  

Depending on the area your property is located – in West, North, Central and South Auckland, different rubbish can pop up. Our team has come across old hangi equipment with Mussel shells and Oyster Shells, old glass, plastic rubbish, paint tins, metals, furniture (you would be surprised that anyone can bury a three seater couch but they do), needles, kids toys/bikes, and builder’s waste such as timber, concrete, asbestos (which needs to be disposed of correctly).

What Services do we Provide?  

We provide a fast and efficient service, providing a quote either via Quote form our website or a Face to Face quote.

We provide the digger, truck and of course a guy to run it. On top of this, we also start when it’s convenient to you and when it suits your calendar. After a date has been set, our builder will start the process of removing obstructions like fences, gates, etc. Then we will dig up and remove buried rubbish, then even out the grounds by levelling out the soil for a smooth and flat surface. If you require Grass seed or top soil, we can do that! Then your fence will be restored after. In addition, we dispose the rubbish to the suitable dumping stations across Auckland wide.

Bobcats have the ability to pull, push and lift materials, but are also great for small or tight spaces that require levelling, lifting pavement or slabs of concrete, loading/shifting heavy or large quantities of rubble/soil. They’re great for demolition due to their weight/power and the operator is protected by a mesh covered cab.

The large digging bucket faces away from the operator and is attached to the machine by two arms. Great for removing larger quantities of soil or excavations and weights like:

• Digging Pools
• Backfilling
• Site clearing
• Rubbish removal

Diggers

Diggers usually have various size buckets that face the operator, which are attached to the cab boom and move with the cab, giving great visibility to the operator. They also have various sized blades that face away from the operator, which are used for clearing or leveling.

They are also great for small or tight spaces, but have more reach and maneuverability than a bobcat. They can maneuver over things or work on slopes and rotate a full 360 degrees to dig, clear or uplift, to the desired destinations and ideal for:

• Digging Trenches
• Dredging wet areas
• Clearing or leveling areas
• Sorting materials

If you need these services, give us a call at Digger Services Auckland on Phone: 0800 514 514

We have the team and the experience to handle your complex jobs.

Perhaps it’s time to review your Equipment Assets Register or ensure you have the means to identify your equipment to the police should it be stolen.

Due to the pressure to build more houses, shortage of skilled staff, the last thing developers need is to have their projects hindered by stolen machinery.
