Our Bobcat E17 Compact Excavators are a highly versatile, easy to transport piece of equipment that is frequently hired for use on construction or groundwork sites with narrow access or confined spaces. This mini excavator delivers great performance for a multitude of tasks.
To enable the excavator to pass through access points and passage ways the operator can retract the undercarriage hydraulically to a width of only 98cm. It can also expand to 136cm to create a wider footprint and greater performance.The Bobcat E17 has reduced tail swing for better versatility and manoeuvrability on confined sites.[/vc_column_text]

Hire Excavator Attachments – Buckets, Breakers, Auger and Borers
JPM Plant Hire are able to provide a choice of buckets and attachments including breakers for demolition works, such as breaking up pathways and paving, concrete or road surfaces. We can also provide augers and borers that are used for boring holes, most commonly to install fencing, posts, barriers, stanchions or for planting trees.
Augers / Borers
For groundwork requiring boring holes to install posts, fencing, barriers, stanchions or planting trees we can provide an auger or borer attachment for the excavator. At JPM Plant Hire we offer a range of auger and borer attachments to easily bore accurate holes into the ground. The Bobcat E17 Excavator has heavy-duty hydraulic power, which when used with these attachments will make light work of boring holes.
Breakers
Breaker attachments can be hired for demolition projects such as breaking up paving, pathways, concrete or asphalt. We offer a choice of hydraulic breakers which can be used with the Bobcat E17 Compact Excavator. The breakers come with a choice of tools to suit the nature of the work.
We use ProDem PRB breakers because they are highly reliable, durable and generally have low operating costs. Our ProDem PRB vibration dampened silenced hydraulic hammers are ideal for sound sensitive sites, though they retain impressive power to cope with heavy duty demolition works like breaking-up pavements and concrete.
