Performance-Driven Excavator for Any Sydney Job Site

Built to deliver on power and precision, our 5 tonne excavator hire gives Sydney contractors and builders the advantage of Komatsu engineering combined with Argyle Hire’s trusted rental service. The machine is powered by a 38 HP Komatsu 4D88E-7 engine, delivering outstanding fuel efficiency and consistent hydraulic performance under tough workloads.

Whether you’re digging trenches, clearing rubble, or prepping footings, this compact workhorse adapts seamlessly to the demands of your site.

Compact Size, Heavy-Duty Capability

With an operating weight of over 5,200 kg, this excavator provides optimal ground pressure and stability, even on uneven terrain. Its reduced tail swing radius (just over one metre) allows for safe manoeuvrability in confined zones, ideal for residential blocks, urban infill sites, and commercial builds with restricted access.

The hydraulic system includes selectable working modes and high flow rates for fast, responsive control across all arm and bucket functions.

Operator Comfort Meets Versatile Functionality

Operators benefit from a comfortable cab or canopy, intuitive control layout, and rubber tracks designed to minimise ground disturbance. These practical details enhance safety and precision on every job.

Need greater breaking capability? The optional Tyne Ripper attachment turns this unit into a rock-breaking, root-cutting powerhouse, ready for Sydney’s toughest soil and demolition conditions.
