Available for hire now
A 1.8 tonne mini excavator that narrows to 900mm to fit through a standard gateway, with 2.38m digging depth and a full set of buckets included. Dry hire, delivered across the 1770 & surrounding areas or picked up from Taunton.
Why hire from us
Matches Machinery Hire is a family business working out of Taunton, hiring out equipment across the 1770 & surrounding areas.
Have it delivered on its trailer, ready to work, anywhere across 1770 & surrounding areas, or collect it from Taunton yourself if you can tow it. Whichever suits the job.
The machine is checked and serviced between hires. You get greased pins, working hydraulics and sharp bucket teeth, not someone else’s problems.
Hire it for a Saturday or a month. Rates are worked out per job, so you are not paying for a package that does not fit.
No call centre and no booking system. You speak to the person who owns the machine and knows what it will and will not do.
The fleet
One machine, chosen because it covers the jobs people around here actually need doing.

Specs, attachments & hire details
The KX018-4 is a 1.8 tonne machine, which is the size that fits through a gate and still digs a real trench. Typical jobs:
Not sure it suits your job? Call Dave and describe it. He'll tell you straight if it's the wrong machine.
How it works
No account to create and no deposit taken online. It's a phone call and a time to get the machine to you.
Tell Dave what the job is and roughly when you need the machine. He'll confirm availability and give you a price.
Lock in the hire period, and whether you want it delivered or you are collecting. Let him know about access, gateways and slopes so the right attachments come with it.
It is dry hire, so you supply the operator. The buckets and ripper come as standard; augers and the rock breaker are available on request. Mention them so they go on the trailer.
Call Dave to check availability and get a price. If it's after hours, send an enquiry and he'll come back to you.
By arrangement. Call to confirm times that suit your job.
