Excavator & Attachment Hire in Yass

At ACT Attachment Hire, we hire excavation equipment and excavator attachments for work around Yass, dispatched from our yard in Queanbeyan East. Jobs out this way tend to be different in character from town work: larger rural blocks, longer runs of fencing, dams and drainage, plus ground that changes quickly from soft paddock to solid rock.

Yass sits close to an hour from our Queanbeyan East yard, so we plan the hire around that distance rather than treating it like a quick town drop. Because a second trip back out is a genuine cost, we spend time upfront on what the ground is like, what access the machine has and what you are actually trying to achieve, and we will send spare buckets or a second attachment out with the machine where it saves you a return run.

We hire to graziers, owner-builders, fencing contractors, civil crews and landscapers. Every machine and attachment is checked and maintained between hires. Our trading hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, with weekend hire by appointment, which helps when a rural job needs to run across a Saturday.

Excavation work around Yass covers ground that town-based jobs rarely do: dam repairs, table drains, culverts, shed pads and long service runs across paddocks. At ACT Attachment Hire, we supply excavation equipment for that kind of work, and we take the time to understand the site before recommending a machine. Reach, ground pressure and stability matter on undulating rural ground, and a machine that suits a suburban backyard may be the wrong tool entirely on a sloping block with soft ground. Because Yass sits away from our Queanbeyan East yard, we would rather sort those details out on the phone than have you make a second trip. Equipment is checked and maintained between hires. Call 0458 122 811 with your job details and dates and we will confirm what suits.

Plenty of Yass operators already own or lease a machine and need attachments only for particular stages of a job. At ACT Attachment Hire, we hire excavator attachments across digging, breaking, drilling and material handling, matched to your carrier machine rather than issued blind. We ask for the make, model, coupler type and available hydraulic flow when you call, which matters more when the machine is an hour away and cannot be brought in to test fit. For rural work that shifts task to task, clearing one week, drilling the next and breaking rock after that, hiring the attachment rather than buying it keeps costs tied to the work being done. Every attachment is inspected between hires, and our combined decades of industry experience inform each recommendation we make.

Rock is a fact of life on a lot of Yass country, and it usually shows up mid-job, part way through a trench line, a pier hole or a dam wall. At ACT Attachment Hire, we hire hydraulic hammers sized to the carrier machine and the material, so you are not trying to break granite with a hammer meant for concrete paths. When you call, tell us the machine weight and what you are hitting, and we will match hammer weight and impact to it. Fitting can be arranged at hire if you would prefer not to handle it on site. Hammers are maintained and checked between every hire, which counts for more when the nearest replacement is not around the corner. Ring 0458 122 811 to confirm what is available for your dates.

Fencing runs, stockyard posts, shed piers and gate assemblies mean drilling is one of the most common jobs we hire equipment for around Yass. At ACT Attachment Hire, we supply augers across a range of diameters together with drives matched to your machine hydraulics and coupler. Ground is the deciding factor: paddock soil, clay and rock all behave differently, and the combination that drills a hundred holes in soft country will stall in harder ground. We ask what you have struck previously on the property before recommending diameter and drive torque, because on a long fence line a poor match costs a full day. Weekend hire by appointment suits fencing work that needs to run through a Saturday. Call 0458 122 811 to talk through sizes and availability.
