What is a Digger?

A digger, by definition, is simply a machine that can dig up sections of the ground. In professional terms, excavators in Whitefield are considered to be the most baseline form of a digger, but other accessories (for example, specialised buckets, breakers, post knockers, rollers or models with built-in dumpers) can also be attached.

A digger is a vital part of many project types, especially those that deal with moving earth reliably. Most construction and demolition projects also require a digger on standby, even if diggers weren't part of the main plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the digger used for?

An excavator is simply used to dig up and shift earth by default, but attachments and accessories can change its role.

A digger breaker can demolish concrete and solid rock, which makes breakers a more specialised tool that still functions as a digger would.

Some digger configurations are great for light work, and others are more for heavy-duty site work. Having to break through solid stone ground is a more specialised role in the industry, but is still an option that a digger can provide.

Do builders use diggers?

Diggers are great for construction, and most professional diggers have access to one in case they need to create mounds of earth or dig up certain spaces.

Should I use a mini diggers?

A mini digger (or micro digger, or mini excavator) provides the same benefits as a normal digger, only smaller. Mini diggers can be a powerful asset for a smaller site, and the reduced size of a mini digger can actually help with safety. Mini diggers in Whitefield also sacrifice digging range and bucket capacity, so they're still a specialised tool.

What is the difference between a digger and a bulldozer?

A digger and bulldozer may fall under the same general categories, but they're different in terms of both function and insurance. Diggers dig holes and trenches, while bulldozers use a front dozer blade to push debris and earth around.

What is the difference between a digger and an excavator?

A digger and an excavator are by every account the same thing, both in terms of insurance and the kind of license an operator needs to use them. They are, exactly the same vehicle - any differences between them are purely due to a mis-labelling.

Do you need a license to operate a digger?

Diggers used to require a license for on-site work until 2011. However, you still need a license to use them anywhere else, including taking the digger off the site to drive it on a road or street.

What is the purpose of an excavator?

An excavator is a piece of digging equipment. A team in Whitefield will almost always use it to dig up holes o trenches, or fill in existing holes, for various different reasons and purposes.
