What it is used for

Choosing this machine

The TLB is the lowest-cost entry into mechanised earthmoving and the machine most in demand from small-scale operators and civil contractors. If you are unsure whether you need a TLB or an excavator, tell us the job — an excavator digs faster and deeper, but a TLB loads, travels and self-transports in ways an excavator cannot.

Dry hire or wet hire

This machine is available on dry hire — machine only, you supply a qualified operator — or on wet hire, which includes a certified, mine-inducted operator, fuel and routine maintenance in a single rate.

We also handle transport to and from site and supply tyres for machines you already own.
