Excavators (3 Ton & 6 Ton)
Excavators are used for digging, trenching and earthmoving across construction, civil and infrastructure projects. They provide controlled excavation and are suitable for a wide range of site conditions, from confined residential areas to larger open construction sites.
Bo’s Plant & Tool Hire supplies 3 ton and 6 ton excavators, including Kubota and CAT 306E2 models, suitable for general excavation and site preparation work.

Excavation & Earthmoving Applications
Excavators are designed for precise and efficient digging, making them essential for many stages of construction and site development.
They are commonly used for:
- Trenching for utilities and services
- Foundation and footing excavation
- Site clearing and preparation
- Landscaping and shaping terrain
- General earthmoving work
Their ability to operate with accuracy allows for controlled digging while minimising disruption to surrounding areas.
3 Ton Excavators
3 ton excavators are compact machines designed for working in tighter spaces where access is limited. Their smaller size makes them ideal for residential projects and sites where manoeuvrability is important.
They are commonly used for smaller excavation tasks, trenching and work in confined areas such as between buildings or in restricted access zones.
6 Ton Excavators
6 ton excavators provide increased digging power, reach and capacity, making them suitable for larger and more demanding projects.
They are typically used for deeper excavation, larger site preparation work and projects where higher productivity is required. Their size allows them to handle more substantial material movement while maintaining control and precision.
Choosing Between 3 Ton & 6 Ton Excavators
The choice between a 3 ton and 6 ton excavator depends on the scale of the project and the working environment.
3 ton machines are better suited to smaller sites and confined spaces where access is limited.
6 ton machines are more suitable for larger areas, deeper excavation and projects requiring increased digging capacity.
Selecting the correct size ensures efficient operation and helps match the machine to the demands of the job.
