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.

Open on your phone, tap the AR button and point the camera at the ground. Approximate model, real width.
Delivered to you, up to 35 road miles from our Wolverhampton yard
Same machine, same price wherever you are; only the delivery changes with distance. Next-day delivery as standard, often same day.
Small gardens in Stafford
Terraced houses make up 16.4% of Stafford homes, mostly close to the town centre, where back gardens are reached through an entry. The K008-5 needs a gap wider than 75 cm.
For a garden room base or a patio, the K008-5 digs, the KM55 breaker lifts old slabs, and the BOMAG roller compacts the sub-base. The digger and breaker share one delivery; the roller comes on its own.
Delivery is the same whether you keep it two days or a week, so on a 21.6-mile run, plan the job so the machine is not sitting idle.
Before the K008-5 arrives
- Measure the entry or gate at its narrowest point.
- Lay boards if the machine crosses a lawn or block paving.
- Plan where spoil goes; a road skip needs a £42 permit.
- Have an adult on site for the safety briefing.
Questions we get asked
How much is micro digger delivery to Stafford?
£60.88 each way to ST16 ex VAT, from 21.6 road miles. Checkout prices your exact postcode.
Can I hire the breaker with it?
Yes. The KM55 is £70 a day ex VAT and fits the K008-5 only.
Do I need a permit for a skip?
If it goes on the road, yes. Staffordshire County Council charges £42, and the skip firm applies.
Do I need a licence to hire it?
No licence or ticket is needed to hire from us or to operate the machine on private property. We hand over the machine on site, walk you through the controls and the daily checks, and the operator guide stays with the machine.
Do I need insurance?
No insurance needed to hire. You're responsible for the machine while it's with you. You can get a hired-in plant insurance quote at checkout.
Is there a deposit?
No deposit and no trade account. We keep the card you pay with on file and only charge it for damage or loss, under our hire terms.
