Whatever you use a mini digger for, it’s essential that you only invest in top quality equipment from reputable brands. That’s why here at Rhino Plant Hire we have a wide range of top diggers from brands like Kubota on our books, all of which are primed and ready to be lent out to customers from across the Harlow area. Whether you’re looking for a smaller mini excavator that can deal with loads of two or three tonnes or you need a larger, more durable model for higher performance and with added features like reduced tail swing, we’ll have a mini digger for you. And as a member of the CPA (Construction Plant Hire Association), Rhino Plant Hire is committed to making sure your digger hire experience with us goes smoothly.
With over fifteen years’ experience in the plant hire business here in Harlow, we know that no two jobs are the same. That’s why we’ve invested in our fleet of mini excavators and diggers for hire over the years, and now we have a range of diggers in all different sizes – so no matter what job you’re working on, we’ll have a digger for you. Our smaller diggers are ideal for lifting loads of around one or two tonnes: our K008-3 digger, for example, lifts weights of 0.8 tonnes and is known for its precise movements and strong torque for twisting and rotating. For larger loads, though, the KX91-3 hydraulic excavator may be more suitable: with the option for a reduced tail swing and a digging depth of over 3,000 millimetres, this versatile piece of kit is ideal for everything from farm work to concrete removal.
No digger is complete without the necessary accessories, so when you hire a mini excavator from Rhino Plant Hire here in Harlow we’ll always offer you a full range of attachments and extras so you can get the most for your money. Each piece of kit comes with a range of buckets as standard, and if you need any extra then all you have to do is ask. In addition, we offer a range of attachments – such as pulverisors for jobs involving concrete removal, grapples for teams who need to move large amounts of wood such as timber, and augers for inserting post holes into the ground. In addition, for many of our larger machines we also offer durable and tough hydraulic breakers from leading brand Atlas Copco.
Government body Public Health England (PHE) recently took a significant decision to move many of its current sites – including its Central London headquarters and its research locations in Colindale and Wiltshire – out to Harlow. The proposed new complex will be located on the site of the GSK buildings on the Pinnacles Estate, a move which will breathe new life into a plot of land which has for a while stood empty.
If the move goes ahead, it will deliver a number of significant benefits to both the organisation and the residents of Harlow alike. Once completed, the new site – which will be known as a science hub – will employ over three thousand people in a variety of roles. The hub will also provide work for the construction industry, as in addition to taking over some of the former lab buildings left behind by GSK, the organisation will also commission some new buildings of its own. It will also offer a visitor centre, a move which will improve Harlow’s local reputation as a fun destination with plenty on offer.
According to the schedule the site will be completed in stages, with the first buildings – devoted to logistics, arrivals and administration – due to open in 2021, which is also the year the old GSK buildings will have their renovations completed. By 2023, the body aims to have the infrastructure systems across the site set up and all external works completed, and the final phase – the building of a high containment lab designed for bioscience activities – should be complete in 2023. In total, the project is expected to be fully up and running by 2024, and it’s likely that it will cost around £400m.
