Hire excavators from Molse Bouwmachines

Excavator hire in Mol and surrounding areas: at Molse Bouwmachines you can hire the full range, from a compact mini excavator for the garden to a heavy 55-tonne crawler crane for demolition work. Think of Mini excavators and midi excavators, crawler excavators and wheeled excavators — always with top brands like Kubota, Hitachi and Takeuchi. You choose the rental period yourself, from a day to long-term, and we deliver quickly to your site in Mol and the surrounding area.

Which excavator do you need? Mini excavator, crawler excavator or wheeled excavator

For smaller and medium-sized sites with limited access — gardens, narrow passageways, foundation work around an existing house — you hire a mini excavator or midi excavator. For heavy earthmoving on the site itself, where stability on soft or uneven ground matters, you hire a crawler excavator: it runs on tracks and therefore has more traction and grip. Does the machine need to be moved quickly between different locations, or must it be able to drive on the public road? Then you choose a wheeled excavator, which runs on pneumatic tyres and can be deployed more quickly on varying sites.

Hire a mini excavator and midi excavator: 1,200 kg to 8,000 kg

For the smallest jobs, such as garden work or digging in hard-to-reach places, you hire the Mini digger 1,200 kg (Kubota). If you want more comfort or have to keep working in changeable weather, you choose a cabin version such as the 3.5-tonne mini excavator with cab (Kubota). For medium-sized groundworks where a mini excavator is too light, you hire the 8,000 kg midi excavator with cab (Kubota). The full range, from 1,200 kg to 8,000 kg, can be found on the page mini excavator & midi excavator.

Hire crawler crane: 15 to 55 tonnes

For earthmoving work on soft or boggy ground, you can hire, for example, the 15-tonne mobile crane with rubber pads — paving-friendly, ideal if you also have to drive over paving. Are you working in a narrow street or close to a façade, where the back of the machine must not swing beyond the edge of the site? Then you hire a 25-tonne crawler crane with inner turntable (Hitachi) — the counterweight remains within the width of the crawler undercarriage while turning. For demolition work you hire the 55-tonne crawler crane in demolition specification, our heaviest machine. The full range of crawler cranes, from 15 to 55 tonnes, can be found on the page Tower cranes.

Hire wheeled excavator: 6 to 18 tonnes

For smaller jobs where you need to move around quickly, you hire the 6-tonne tyre crane (Wacker Neuson). For slightly larger construction sites, choose the 10-ton tyre crane (Takeuchi), and for heavier earthmoving work where you still want to remain mobile between locations, you hire the 18-tonne tyre crane (Hitachi). You can find the complete range of wheeled excavators on the page Tyre valves.

Excavator accessories

Alongside the excavator itself, you can also hire the matching accessories from us: digging buckets, grading buckets, hydraulic breakers, sorting grabs and a tiltrotator, each tailored to the weight of your machine. View the full range on the page Excavator accessories.

For which works do you hire an excavator?

  • Groundworks, foundations and drainage works (mini-digger to tracked excavator, depending on the scale)
  • Landscaping and works with restricted access (mini digger or midi digger)
  • Demolition works (demolition-spec crawler excavator)
  • Infrastructure and roadworks where you need to move quickly between locations (wheeled excavator)

Does the excavated soil also need to be removed? Combine your excavator with a Dumper. Will you finish the sub-base further after that? Then you can subsequently hire a compactor to compact the subsoil.

Frequently asked questions about hiring excavators

What types of excavators are there?

At Molse Bouwmachines you can hire three main types: mini excavators and midi excavators (compact, tracked, for smaller and medium-sized sites), crawler excavators (larger tracked excavators for heavy earthmoving and unstable ground) and wheeled excavators (excavators on wheels, quickly movable and suitable for public roads).

Het verschil tussen een minigraver en een midigraver zit in hun grootte en toepassingen.

A mini digger typically weighs up to around 3,500 kg and is compact enough for gardens, narrow passageways and sites with restricted access. A midi digger, such as our 8,000 kg model, is larger and more powerful, ideal for medium-sized earthmoving works where a mini digger is too light but a full-sized tracked excavator is not necessary.

What is the difference between a crawler crane and a wheeled mobile crane?

A crawler excavator runs on tracks and therefore has greater stability and traction on soft, uneven or marshy ground — ideal for earthmoving work on site. A wheeled excavator runs on pneumatic tyres, is permitted to drive on public roads and is quicker to move between locations, making it suitable for shorter jobs in various places.

What is an inward-opening door/window and when do I need one?

A conventional tail swing excavator is an excavator whose superstructure counterweight remains within the width of the crawler undercarriage when turning. This allows you to deploy it in narrow streets, close to facades or walls, without the rear of the machine swinging beyond the edge of the site.

Does a mini excavator fit through a standard garden gate or narrow opening?

Our smallest models are compactly built for working with restricted access, such as gardens and narrow pathways. Are you in doubt whether your access is wide enough? Give us the dimensions and we will advise which model fits.

Can I also hire attachments such as a digging bucket or hydraulic breaker?

Yes, alongside the excavator itself, we also hire out a wide range of accessories: digging buckets, grading buckets, hydraulic breakers, sorting grabs and a tiltrotator, matched to the weight of your machine.

Do you deliver the excavator to the site?

Yes, Molse Bouwmachines delivers and collects your excavator on site. The transport cost depends on the distance — an overview can be found on our transport rates page, or ask when placing your order.

Are you unsure which excavator you need?

You can hire an excavator from us for a single day or for a longer period. Call or email us for advice — we are happy to help you choose the right mini excavator, tracked excavator or wheeled excavator for your site, quickly and without hassle.
