On-Site User Guide
Everything you need to operate this machine safely and confidently.
Price it and check it fits
What will it cost, delivered?
Measure your narrowest gap
Gate posts, downpipes, bins and side passages. Use the smallest figure.
Not sure? WhatsApp us a photo of the gap with a tape measure in it and we will tell you.
Not sure it's the right machine? Ask.
Answers from our rate card, machine specs and live diary in seconds.
Will it fit through my gate?
3D models are to scale on width; the fit rule is the same one our price box and drivers use.

Working near trees in Solihull
Solihull has 20 conservation areas, including Knowle, Olton and Station Approach in Dorridge. Before you work on any tree over 75 mm across in one, you must notify the council.
The council's guide keeps machines out of the root protection zone, 12 times the trunk diameter up to 15 m. The K008-5 is small enough to work at the edge of that zone without crossing it.
Breaking out an old impermeable drive to relay it as permeable? Fit the KM55 breaker to the K008-5. A skip on the road needs a Solihull permit, £89.50 a month.
Before the K008-5 arrives
- Mark root protection zones before the machine arrives.
- Measure the gate or passage: 75 cm clear.
- Book the breaker if there is concrete to lift.
- Agree the skip and its permit with the supplier.

Can I break out an old drive with it?

Do I need a road permit for a skip?
