Excavators & Earthmovers

At J Newton, we have 1.5 tonne and 5-tonne excavators for hire – if you’re not sure which capacity is more appropriate for your job, simply contact us for advice. We also have a highly versatile posi-track earthmover.


Our excavators and earthmover are the ideal solutions for tackling earthmoving work of any scale. They’re useful for rapidly clearing earth and unwanted material from a site, ready to be transported away. You can find out more about different types of excavators in our other blog posts.

Specialist Earthmoving Equipment For Hire

When working with rough or particularly hard terrain, further specialist equipment might be needed to get the excavation done effectively. If this is the case, we have the appropriate machinery available for hire. This includes 200mm, 300mm, 450mm and 600mm augers. These tools can be used to create holes in the earth and remove material.


Our range of hire equipment also includes a chain digger and a rock breaker. These are both essential tools for tackling very hard ground that’s too tough for most excavators and breaking down stubborn materials such as stone and rocks.

Tippers & Forklifts

After the earthmoving has taken place, you’ll need to get rid of the unwanted material before continuing with your project.

Tipper trucks and forklifts are the best machinery for removing earth, waste, and other material, leaving the site in great condition.


For smaller jobs that generate less waste, we have forklifts available for hire. These are great if you need to move less material than our tippers are intended for. We have a number of different tipper trucks - 3, 6, and 12-tonne tippers are all available to hire from us.


This helpful range of sizes available means there’s a tipper suitable for any job, from small scale domestic work to earthmoving on a large construction site. Contact us for advice on the best option for you.

Make The Job Easier

Whether your earthmoving project is large or small, trying to get it done without the right tools will cause you a lot of hassle, even if you have a team of people to help you out.


With the earthmoving hire services from J Newton Excavations, you can be confident that the work will get done right using top quality machinery.
