Mini excavators & skid steers for Darwin & Palmerston

Darwin and Palmerston are built on a low laterite plateau above mangrove and tidal flats, with the newest suburbs at Zuccoli and Muirhead on cleared savannah.

Ground

Red and orange laterite and gravel on the plateau, hard when dry and greasy when wet; black soil and mangrove mud on the flats; sand along the beaches. Termites in everything.

Typical jobs

Drainage before the wet, pools and landscaping in the dry, retaining walls, cyclone clean-up, and the constant renovation of elevated homes.

Machines that suit

The R15 for suburban blocks, the R22 PRO for laterite and acreage, an RS06 skid steer for the wet-season clean-up. Freight from the Gold Coast by road and rail, typically one to two weeks.
