/ 05 — TYPICAL WORK

What this rig is built for.

2 tonne is the sweet spot for residential and tight-access work. Through standard gates, around tanks, between sheds.

Residential/ 01

Trenches & services

Stormwater, plumbing runs, electrical conduit. 300mm rock bucket cuts clean lines through tough ground.

Fencing & Decks/ 02

Post holes, fast.

300 or 450mm auger on the boom — pilot a fence line in a morning, leaving the dirt where you want it.

Landscaping/ 03

Pads, paths, prep.

Levelling, retaining wall footings, garden bed shaping. GP bucket finishes flat enough for screeding.

Tight Access/ 04

Tight access, no fuss.

Tracks retract to 980mm — fits where bobcats won't. Standard side gates, breezeways, courtyards.

Site Clean-up/ 05

Spoil, stumps, scrap.

Loading skips, lifting roots, shifting piles. Quick chassis swap means we can switch tools mid-job.

Drainage/ 06

Ag-pipe & soak wells.

Narrow trenches, soak well excavation, downpipe runs. Clean depths without flogging the lawn.
