Hire a machine with an operator around Melton

We're Dirt Mechanics, and we run operated excavation and earthworks around Melton, Melbourne's west and the Macedon Ranges, in Victoria, Australia. The machine and the operator turn up together, for one price and one phone call. This isn't dry hire. Nobody drops a machine at your place and leaves you to drive it.

Call 0466 894 002 Tell us about the job
  • We run the machine, not you.
  • Nothing to tow and nothing to learn.
  • Based in Kurunjang, out to the Macedon Ranges.

What you don't have to sort out

There's no trailer to borrow and no tow vehicle to find. No half a day lost working out which lever does what, and no hire agreement making you answerable for a machine while it sits in your driveway overnight.

It also changes what happens when the job isn't what the photo showed. Old concrete under the lawn, rock through a fence line, a service running where nobody expected it. We stop and ring you before pushing on.

What turning up with an operator means

The machine and the person who runs it turn up together, for one price and one phone call.

  • We float the machine in and out, so there's nothing for you to tow
  • The person who quotes the job is the person who runs the machine
  • Bucket, grab and auger work on the same visit
  • Spoil loaded and carted off, or spread on site, agreed before we start
  • Tight access checked from your photo before anyone drives out
  • Excavation, earthmoving and earthworks, plus the landscaping after it

Tell us the job and we'll tell you what we'd bring

Bucket, grab or auger, and which machine fits down the side of your place. Give us a ring and describe it.

Questions

Call 0466 894 002

Nothing about the machine is yours to organise. We run it, so you don't hold anything, you don't drive anything and you don't sign for a machine. Tell us where the job is and what needs doing, and we take it from there.

Send a photo of the access and we'll tell you what fits

The way in, the ground and what you want done. That's enough for us to tell you whether it's a job for us and roughly what it takes.
