Buy or hire the E55z if...

- you want one that digs 85cm (3ft) deeper
A midi excavator for groundworks, utilities and landscaping contractors. At 5.3 tonnes it arrives on a lorry rather than behind a car. It digs to 3434mm. Zero tail swing means the back of the machine stays inside the tracks when it slews, so it can work tight against a wall or in one lane of a road.

Chosen as much for what it weighs as for what it digs: under two tonnes means it can go on a modest plant trailer behind a light vehicle, which removes the transport problem that decides many small jobs. Very common in UK hire fleets for garden and trenching work.
