Greenbank And Brisbane Hire
Can it fit through tight access?
Yes. The E20z retracts to 980 mm wide and expands to 1,360 mm for stability on site. That makes our 2 ton excavator hire ideal for side passages, courtyards, and suburban rebuilds across Brisbane. The zero tail swing design also reduces overhang risk when slewing near walls, fences, or services in tight access works.
What digging performance can we expect?
The Bobcat E20z delivers 20,835 N bucket force and ground reach of 4,134 mm, with proportional joysticks for precise trenching. Our Brisbane mini excavator hire gives small crews enough breakout to handle service trenches, footing prep, and landscaping cuts efficiently, while maintaining smooth control around existing structures and services.
Do you deliver to our site?
We do. Flourish Hire delivers within 50 km of Greenbank QLD at $2.50 per km one-way, calculated depot-to-site. For 2 ton excavator hire Brisbane wide, we’ll schedule delivery inside our 6:30 am–6:00 pm window. A site contact with ID must be present for handover. Drivers assist with unloading only.
What attachments can the E20z run?
The machine includes auxiliary hydraulics with 30 L/min flow and boom-mounted quick couplers, so it’s compatible with common compact excavator attachments. For Bobcat E20z hire, tell us what you plan to run so we can confirm suitability. Fingertip proportional control keeps attachments responsive for precise trenching, cleanup, or footings preparation.
How do transport and loading work?
For heavy equipment we supply a trailer. Ensure your vehicle is rated to tow the combined mass and bring suitable tie-downs. With our 2 tonne excavator rental, all items are two-person lifts. We’ll record condition and fuel level at handover, then email the manual and invoice so your crew can get moving quickly.
What are ID and bond requirements?
Minimum age is 18. Bring an Australian driver licence or an international passport. We take a $200 security bond per item at pickup and release it within 2–3 business days after inspection. These simple hire requirements keep our Bobcat E20z hire process fast, transparent, and secure for your team.
How long is the minimum hire?
The minimum hire is 24 hours. Early returns attract no charges for unused days. If you return late there’s a two-hour grace period, then $10 per hour from the third hour. That flexibility helps teams using our 2 ton excavator hire manage weather windows and unforeseen site conditions without unnecessary cost.
What fuel and cleaning are needed?
Return the E20z full of diesel or a $2.50 per litre refuelling charge applies. Equipment must be reasonably clean; excessive mud or debris attracts a $50 cleaning fee. Keeping our compact excavator hire clean and fuelled ensures faster bond release and minimal downtime for the next crew.
We were replacing storm-damaged fence lines in a tight backyard with only a metre of side access. Flourish Hire recommended the E20z and delivered on time. The retractable tracks slid through, then widened out for stability on the dig. Zero tail swing stopped us clipping posts. The 2 ton excavator hire saved two days of hand digging and the manual emailed was clear.

Great compact excavator hire for fast service trenching with minimal reinstatement.

— Darren Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We run a small building crew and needed footing excavations beside an existing slab. The E20z tracked in without scuffing the wall, had strong bucket force, and the work light helped finish before 6 pm. Flourish Hire’s same rate on weekends and public holidays made planning easy. Excellent 2 tonne excavator rental for small builders.
— Amelia Rogers
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Council crossover repair required careful digging around services. The Bobcat E20z hire had precise joystick control and steady hydraulics, which mattered near gas and fibre. Delivery from Flourish Hire was punctual, and the driver helped with unloading. Returning it full avoided extra charges. We’ll book this compact excavator hire again for service-heavy sites.
