Looking for the most mobile water cart for hire?

The Master 1000L Water Cart Trailer has been designed to clean up and provide water – wherever you need it.

Working remotely? This Water Cart Trailer is easy to refill from rivers or streams, making it a smart option if you don’t have access to mains water where you’re working. Light enough to hook up behind your ute (as long as you have a minimum 1750kg tow rating) and with a dual tow coupling (1-⅞ or 50mm) the Master 1000L Water Cart Trailer is an easier way to get water to where you need it most.

Need more water capacity? Upgrade to the Master 4000L Water Cart

Looking for a weightier load of water for the job you’ve got to do? The Master 4000L Water Cart Skid Tank consists of water tanks mounted on a robust skid frame, designed to be moved and mounted easily on any truck you choose for the job.

Designated tie down and lifting points take the guesswork out of correctly positioning the frame. Hire a truck from Allways Hire or use your own: the result will still be safe, mobile access to 4000L of water exactly where you need it.

Access to more water doesn’t mean compromising on the features you need to get the job done. The Master 4000L Water Cart Skid Tank still comes with a high flow water pump with dust suppression nozzle on the rear and 30m of wash down hose. Great for suppressing dust, washing down large areas, or filling up tanks.

If you’re looking for maximum water supply then the huge Master 6000L Water Cart Skid Tank is definitely the right hire choice for you. With a massive 6000L water capacity you’ll need a truck that’s capable of carting a minimum of 7000kg to transport this skid frame and its full load.

This Water Cart Skid Frame is big, but that doesn’t mean you can’t refill it if you need to. Master’s 6000L Water Cart Skid Tank has been designed to be easy to refill with camlock fittings. Fill it from rivers, streams or mains supplies – just hire a water pump from Allways Hire to speed the process.

If you’re looking for power and a high bucket capacity then you need a big digger for your job. We take a look at how the 10T Yanmar Excavator (SV100) compares with the bigger 13T Case Digger (130C).

Read on for our side-by-side comparison of two of the bigger diggers we have available to hire from both our Hastings and Napier branches.

Stepping up to 10T or 13T for heavier civil work?

When the job outgrows the mini, our excavators for hire covers both the 10T Yanmar and the 13T Case or Hitachi class.

  • 10T Yanmar for heavy residential and light civil
  • 13T Case and Hitachi for subdivisions and bulk earthworks
  • Matching rock breakers and buckets available
  • Transport arranged through our yard team

Other features of the 10T Yanmar Digger and 13T Case Excavator

Front_View_10T_Yanmar_vs_13T_Case_DiggerThe tail swing differs between the 10T Yanmar and 13T Case diggers

If you hire the 10T Yanmar excavator then you can enjoy all the benefits of the short radius tail swing. The 13T Case Digger has a conventional tail swing so you’ll need to be extra aware of your surroundings when slewing the digger around near walls, fences, buildings and other structures.

Only the 10T Yanmar Digger has an offset boom

You might not be clear on the benefits of the offset boom but if you upgrade from the 10T Yanmar to the 13T Case digger then it’s one of the features you’ll need to give up. An offset boom allows the operator to dig next to structures or in tight spaces with limited swing.

Offset booms are great for trench work especially when digging directly beside an existing structure such as a wall, building or fence. The boom can be positioned to dig inline with the excavator’s tracks, which can help with efficient repositioning.
Choose the 10T Yanmar if you’re looking for Rubber Pads

If you’re hiring a digger from Allways Hire in Hawke’s Bay, the 13T Case Digger only has steel tracks. If you’re looking for an option for softer, more easily damaged surfaces you might want to hire the 10T Yanmar which comes with the option of Rubber Pads.

Other differences to be aware of:

Apart from the colour, there are a couple of other differences between the 10T Yanmar and 13T Case diggers that you might want to be aware of if you’re booking in a hire. Especially if they might impact the way you do the job.

These are:

  • The 10T Yanmar Digger has a blade – the 13T Case Digger doesn’t
  • The 13T Case Excavator comes with a tilt hitch while the 10T Yanmar has a standard quick hitch (non-tilting) – although the 10T Yanmar comes with a tilting bucket.

Both excavators come with:

  •  4 post ROPS cabin
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Beacon.

You can also choose from a similar range of attachments that are available to hire to make a tough task easier. These include pile drivers, plate compactors, thumb buckets and concrete breakers.

Take a look at our full range of digger attachments.

Bucket capacity

A measure of the scale and power of the 10T Yanmar digger is its ability to shift 6 standard wheelbarrow loads of dirt with one wide bucketload. That’s a 66% increase in bucket capacity on the wide bucket of the 5.5T Yanmar digger.

How do the controls compare?

It’s easy to move between the 5.5T and 10T Yanmar Diggers as they have the same operator controls in an enclosed cab.

Cab-Interior-Of-Yanmar-Diggers

Other features of the 5.5T and 10T Yanmar Diggers

Both the 5.5T and 10T Yanmar Diggers feature:

  • Off-set boom
  • Blade
  • 4 post ROPS cabin
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Beacon.

Both machines are available ready to hire with tilting buckets, general purpose buckets, and trench buckets. You can also choose from a similar range of attachments that are available to hire to make a tough task easier. These include pile drivers, post drivers, plate compactors, thumb buckets and concrete breakers.

While the 5.5T and 10T Yanmar Diggers have a lot in common, there are also some differences that it’s important to be aware of in addition to the variations in size and capacity.

  1. The 10T can either come with steel tracks or with rubber pads on the tracks – so you can choose the tracks that work best for the surface you’re working on. Rubber tracks or pads are best suited for sealed surfaces while steel tracks offer better grip for uneven terrains, hill country and wet clay surfaces.
  2. The 5T has a true zero tail swing whereas the 10T has a short swing radius – making it important to be aware of your surroundings when slewing the digger around near walls, fences, buildings and other structures.

* Off-set boom

Both diggers also have the same range of attachments that you can hire to make a tough task easier.

Which excavator will you hire for your next job?

Choosing between the 3.5T and 5.5T Yanmar Diggers is going to depend on the job you’ve got to do. With a huge reach and great bucket capacity, the 5.5T Yanmar Digger can quickly tidy up any material you have to move or holes you need to dig.

It definitely pays to know your access points and any restrictions you’re going to need to work with once you’re hiring a digger the size of the 5.5T Yanmar. It’s nearly 50cm wider than the 3.5T Digger which can make a lot of difference if you’re space constrained or working in a tight spot.

  • 2T for slightly more reach and breakout
  • Both are single trailer towable by a 4WD ute
  • Attachments in the category swap between machines

1.7T or 2T Yanmar – which is the best excavator to hire for the job?

Allways-Hire-Digger-compare

When you hire 1.7T and 2T Yanmar Diggers from Allways Hire, they come on their own trailers for ease of transport.

Where space is at a premium, the 1.7T Yanmar digger is the better hire, hands down. With a narrower frame and a lighter body, it can fit more effectively into tight spaces – like round the back of properties and through narrow gateways – and still get the job done.

However, if space allows it, the bigger 2T Yanmar excavator hire will give you faster results, with greater reach, dig depth and bucket capacity adding up to a more efficient use of your time.
