Equipment For Hire Cairns

by J Newton Excavations, Tuesday, January 19, 2021

J Newton Excavations provide a complete solution to your earthmoving requirements. Whether you need a team with the right equipment to turn up and complete your earth moving work, or need high-performance plant to do the job yourself, we can help. Our selection of modern, high-grade diggers, excavators, Bobcats and more are suitable for a wide range of earth moving projects.


Although we do offer dry hire (machinery hire only), for most jobs it's often easier to opt for wet hire (machinery plus skilled operative). Not only does our team have the experience and skill to optimise vehicle performance, we can usually get your work completed fast, as we know the best way to tackle most earth moving projects, as well as the equipment that's going to be best for the job.

Call (0448) 010 963 for details.

Earthmoving & Excavation Equipment Hire

Excavator Hire

  • We have 1.5 and 5 tonne excavators available for wet and dry hire.
  • Ideal for demolishing, trenching, landscaping, or lifting, excavators are an earth moving essential.

Bobcat Hire

  • Perfect for smaller jobs, bobcats offer an all-in-1 earth moving solution. Bobcats can be used for excavating, lifting, and loading.
  • Highly manoeuvrable, a bobcat is small enough for work in domestic yards and gardens, as well as useful for small commercial jobs.

Tippers For Hire

  • All the earth dug up by the excavators has to go somewhere! Tippers include a rear platform that can be tilted, enabling the cargo to be easily discharged.
  • We provide large, 12-tonne tippers, as well as 3.5 tonne tippers for more modest loads.

Earth Movers

  • Earth movers can transport large volumes of waste, rocks, soils, and similar materials, easily and quickly.
  • Particularly useful for bigger projects, earth movers are a vital part of many different earth works projects.

Augers, Attachments & Accessories

Are you looking for the right attachment for a specific job? Augers, chain diggers and rock breakers are all essential accessories for specific jobs.

We are able to hire out an accessory to fit onto a machine that you own, or hire out a machine that can be used alongside an auger or similar. The augers we have on offer include 600mm, 450mm, 300mm, and 250mm options.

Forklift Hire

  • If you've ordered pallets of building materials or similar, a forklift is one of the most effective methods of transporting your materials to where they're needed. Our forklifts benefit from high performance and a long battery life.

Posi-Track Earth Mover

  • In contrast to a standard earth mover, a posi-track incorporates a "Positraction". Essentially this is a type of limited slip differential. Transferring torque to the wheels of the vehicle, a posi-track enables vehicles to tackle tougher terrain.
  • If you have work that entails excavating on a gradient, and/or if the ground surface is likely to be an extremely challenging one (loose rocks, highly uneven, sand, deep mud, or similar), then a posi-track choice is likely to give you the added grip and stability needed.
