Mini excavators, excavators, wheel excavators, backhoe loaders and skid steer loaders are the backbone of Hewden's plant hire fleet.
To put it simply, you need it? You got it. Whatever type or model of excavator you want to hire, Hewden will have it ready and waiting.
There's no better fleet of CAT excavators for hire in the country, but we're not blind to other models, so you can also hire the JCB 2CX Airmaster excavator, which cleverly combines a front loader with a two tool compressor on the back, with storage for two heavy duty breakers.
As for the rest of the fleet, what can we say? Caterpillar plant is simply the best for the job and as Cat experts we can make sure you choose exactly the right model.
Mini hydraulic excavators are the popular 'baby' in the range but pack a real punch; then there is the main hydraulic excavator range, from the 307C swing boom model up to the 320D, with its 6650mm digging depth and 9860mm reach at ground level.
The M series wheel excavators are so easy to operate and have high digging and lifting capacity for improved cycle time. The D and E series backhoe loaders are the industry standard for backhoes, with models offering joystick control for both loader and hoe.
And for skid steer loaders, Cat models on hire from Hewden are ideal for construction, landscaping, agricultural, waste and recycling and many other heavy-duty applications.
