Our fleet

The gear behind the job.

From a 0.7-tonne excavator for tight backyard access up to an 8-tonne machine, plus our vacuum excavation truck, tip trucks and support vehicles. We own and maintain our own fleet, so the right size machine turns up ready to work.

Plant & vehicles

Everything we need, on the truck.

We run and maintain our own gear, so the right machine shows up for the job and it's ready to go. Everything is regularly serviced and checked to keep sites safe, efficient and on program.

    0.7t · 1.7t · 5.5t · 8t

    Excavators

    A full range of machines, from a 0.7-tonne mini for tight backyard access up to an 8-tonne for the bigger digs. We bring the right size to the site instead of forcing the job with the wrong one.

  • Branded Hoad Drainage vacuum excavation truck parked on a suburban street.
    Non-destructive digging

    Vacuum excavation truck

    Our NDD vac truck digs safely around live gas, water, power and comms. Clean potholing and trenching with no strikes and no damage, where a machine can't go.

  • Branded Hoad Drainage Isuzu tip truck parked on site.
    Spoil & materials

    Tip trucks & trailers

    Tip trucks, trailers and heavy vehicles to cart spoil off site and get materials on, so the dig keeps moving and the site stays clean and clear.

  • Branded Hoad Drainage & Excavations work ute on site.
    Site support

    Work utes

    Fully kitted work utes with on-board fuel to keep the machines running and get the crew and gear to site right across the Peninsula and South East Melbourne.

  • Rotating laser level on a tripod being used to set drainage grades on site.
    Set-out & grade

    Lasers & levels

    Rotating laser levels to set drainage falls and grades accurately, so pipe runs to fall and the work passes inspection the first time.

  • Mini excavator working in a narrow residential side access.
    Limited access

    Tight-access machines

    Compact excavators and the vac truck let us get into narrow side gates, backyards and sensitive sites that larger plant simply can't reach.

Why it matters

Owned, run and maintained by us.

Running our own fleet means we control the quality, the timing and the safety, on every job.

  • 01

    Owner-operated

    You deal with the people who run the gear, not a subcontractor chain. That means one contact, one standard, and no surprises about who's turning up.

  • 02

    Serviced and maintained

    Everything is regularly serviced and checked, so it's safe and ready when it turns up. Reliable gear keeps your job on program instead of waiting on breakdowns.

  • 03

    The right machine for the job

    A range of sizes means we match the machine to the access and the dig, not the other way around. Less damage to the site, and the job done properly.
