Holden Heavy Hire offers a versatile range of excavators and diggers for hire, from compact machines for tight-access work to large-scale excavators built for demanding quarry, mining, and civil projects.
Our fleet delivers high digging power, smooth hydraulic control, and fuel-efficient performance. Whether you’re trenching, loading, breaking rock, or bulk excavating, our machines are ready to work hard in any conditions. Available for short or long-term hire, get in touch or browse our fleet below.
Our excavator fleet ranges from a 1.7-tonne Yanmar Vi017 mini excavator hire to the CAT 323 excavator for hire—one of the most capable heavy excavators. Most excavator hire companies top out around 20-22 tonnes; we go significantly heavier for quarrying, mining, and large-scale civil work that demands serious production.

Here’s what makes us the go-to choice for excavator rental near you:
Most regional hire companies cap out at 20-22 tonnes—we go well beyond that, covering quarry benching, heavy bulk earthmoving, and mining applications that smaller fleets simply can’t handle.
Our excavators with 3D for hire are predominantly CAT—consistent controls, proven reliability, and machines your operators already know.
Based in Waitomo, we’re well-placed to service the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, and Taranaki job sites—considerably closer than excavator depots based out of Auckland or Wellington, and that’s reflected in your transport bill.
If your project involves digging and material processing (quarry operations, aggregate production, demolition concrete recycling), we can supply both. You get one point of contact, fewer logistics headaches, and subsidised transport rates for long-term large excavator hire.
Hiring a digger or excavator from us is straightforward, but there are a few things worth considering before you enquire:
From mini excavator hire for drainage and residential work to a CAT 352 heavy excavator for quarrying and mining operations, we have the right digger for hire to suit your project.
You can also browse our full heavy machinery hire fleet, including bulldozer hire, dump trucks, crushers, and screening equipment, all available across Waikato, Bay of Plenty, and Taranaki.
Yes—our Yanmar mini excavator hire is well-suited to drainage, footings, landscaping, and any project where site access is restricted. It’s a zero-tail-swing design—it turns within its own footprint, making it practical for working close to structures or in confined areas.
We regularly work with quarries, mining companies, and infrastructure contractors who need large excavator hire for contracts lasting 6 months or longer. For those arrangements, we’re open to subsidised rates as a quality machine consistently on site is good for both parties. Get in touch, and we’ll talk through what works for your project.
Our excavator fleet is set up for professional and commercial use:
If precision grading is part of the job, we have diggers with 3D for hire—Trimble-equipped machines that let operators work directly to design files from the cab. Browse the fleet and get in touch to discuss which excavator best suits your project and site conditions.
