Buy or hire the E55z if...
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.

The Dino 5 suits utility and drainage contractors who need to expose buried pipes and cables without a digger, using suction rather than a bucket to avoid damaging services. Its triple-fan system is built for contractors who need strong continuous suction on site rather than the largest tank on offer.
