Great Rates for Smooth Excavation

Rockthorn offers an extensive variety of excavators, suited to projects both large and small. With flexible short- and long-term hire options, we ensure your timeline stays on track and your project remains within budget.

Our excavator sizes range from the compact 1-tonne Micro Excavator, which can fit through standard doorways, ideal for home improvements or navigating tight spaces, to the robust 40-tonne digger, suited for demanding tasks like demolition and large-scale construction.

Some of the excavators we have available come with built in customisations, bespoke to your specific requirements. For example our 8T and 14T Long Reach Excavators, the 14T Excavator with Blade or our 14T and 22T Excavators with Reduced Tail Swing.

All jobs, whether big or small, are handled with the highest quality machinery. We’re the one stop shop for all things plant, and our vast range of excavators are no exception. We have 1T to 40T excavators and the relevant attachments to match.

We also offer custom excavator options tailored to specific requirements, including:

From construction and mining to forestry and even archaeology, our diggers provide essential support across a wide range of industries.

Rockthorn caters to both large construction firms and individual project managers. All our machines are designed for operator comfort, and we can provide trained operators if needed. Our team works closely with each client to ensure the equipment chosen best suits your project’s demands, with expert advice available every step of the way.
