About Dig Ready
Local. Honest. Built To Last.
A small, local team focused on one thing: machines that work, delivered when we say they will.
Our Story
Started With One Machine And A Simple Promise
Dig Ready Machine Hire started with a straightforward idea: hiring an excavator shouldn't be complicated, and it shouldn't come with hidden costs. We'd watched too many customers get burned by tired machines, vague pricing and delivery windows that never held.
So we built the business the other way around. Every machine is serviced after every single hire — not when it breaks, but every time it comes back. Every price is shown upfront, including delivery and GST, before you ever pick up the phone. And every booking gets the same thing: a machine that works, delivered when we said it would be.
We're a small, local operation and we intend to stay that way. It's the only way we know how to keep the standard this high.
BIG JOBS. SMALL JOBS. GET DIRTY.

Safety First
Get The Job Done Safely
An excavator is a serious piece of machinery. A few simple rules keep every job safe, on every site, every time.
Operate Safely
Take your time on the controls. If anything feels wrong, stop and call us before you continue.
Wear PPE
High-vis, steel-caps and hearing protection as a minimum on any active dig site.
Dial Before You Dig
Always confirm underground services before you break ground. It's free and it's the law.
Never Exceed Load Limits
Rated capacities exist for a reason. Overloading the bucket or arm risks the machine and everyone near it.
Follow Operating Instructions
We walk every customer through correct operation on delivery — stick to it, and call us with any questions.
