Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Where is Colombians Machine based?

We are Sydney-based excavation contractors, with residential and commercial clients located in the Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore, Western Sydney and Greater Sydney areas.

As a guide, posi track loaders are compact and manoeuvrable with very light ground pressure, which make them ideal for working in tight spaces, wet surfaces or soft ground conditions. Skid steers are a versatile option and work well with a range of attachments, making them a good option for heavy forklifting and soil removal.

Our bobcats are perfect for landscaping, levelling ground, removing rubbish or preparing the site for concrete or paving. Colombians Machine offers a range of bobcats for hire, including a mini bobcat of 1.8 tonnes, medium bobcat of 2.8 tonnes and large bobcat of 4.5 tonnes.

5. What permits and regulations do I need to consider?

7. Do I need insurance for DIG IT staff or equipment?

We maintain premium levels of insurance for our equipment and staff, who are fully licenced and qualified to operate our bobcats, skid steers and posi track loaders.

We have rigorous workplace health and safety practices in place and conduct comprehensive site inspections, to ensure the project is delivered safely and to the highest quality.

Things to consider before hiring a bobcat, skid steer or posi track loader

1. Weather and ground conditions

The condition of the ground you are working on will determine which machine is best and can influence the time it takes to complete the project. For example, in wet conditions a Posi Track loader is twice as productive compared to a wheeled skid steer or bobcat, being unstoppable in wet, boggy, sandy or slippery conditions. They also have greater traction and less compaction on soft surfaces. Our team is available 24/7 to answer questions you may have about how DIG IT equipment will perform on site, based on current weather or ground conditions.

2. Distance and speed required

When choosing between our bobcats, skid steers or posi track loaders, consider how far you will have to move earth and at what speed. Bobcats and skid steers are the quickest option for long distances, while posi track loaders can deliver high productivity in small areas. The terrain, accessibility of the job site and materials that need to be moved will also determine which machine is best for your project.

3. Cables and pipes beneath your property

It is important to understand what cables, pipes, gas mains and power lines run through your property before starting any excavation or earthmoving project. Even though you may only be using bobcats, skid steers or posi track loaders for surface-level work, the weight of our machines on an excavation site has the potential to damage underground utilities and cause serious injury. Visit www.1100.com.au or call 1100 during business hours to access the free ‘Dial Before You Dig’ service, which will tell you where underground utilities lie beneath your property.

4. Bobcat size and weight

When you contact us for a free quote, we will need to know how the bobcat, skid steer or posi track loader will gain access to the site. Some streets have council-regulated weight limits, while narrow driveways may influence which machine will fit on your property. We have a mini bobcat and small post track loader available for tight spaces or sites with weight concerns. In addition to the size and weight of the equipment, consider whether there is street parking available and the impact of traffic on your project.

5. Project timeframe

The length of time it takes to clear the ground using your bobcat, skid steer or posi track loader can impact your overall construction schedule, so it is important to understand how long your project is likely to take and leave room for unexpected delays. Our team will provide you with a good indication of your project timeframe, based on the equipment we provide, the materials that need to be moved and any waste disposal that needs to occur before construction can commence.

6. Reducing and recycling waste

Colombians Machine is committed to upholding environmentally sustainable practices and will remove any waste from construction sites where possible. We can clear debris such as soil, rock, earth or tree stumps from the site and make sure all recyclable materials such as timber, concrete and brick are delivered to the closest recycling facility. Our aim is to leave your construction site completely clean and tidy, resulting in a safer and more productive work environment for construction crew.
