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.
- 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
