Getting Into the Tight Spots

Not every site has easy access, and that’s where tight access excavation makes all the difference. Whether it’s a backyard job with narrow gates, a sloping block or a tricky spot between buildings, we’ve got the gear and the know-how to get it done.


At Bigfoot Earthmoving, our 2-tonne and 5-tonne excavators, along with our posi-track, are built for tight-access work without compromising power or precision. We take care of the digging, shaping and clean-up so you can move straight into the next stage of your project. We also offer demolition services and machinery hire for full site preparation.

  • Why use a posi-track or small excavator for tight sites?

    Posi-tracks and mini excavators are compact and powerful, allowing operators to move easily in confined spaces while minimising damage to surrounding areas.

  • Can tight access excavation handle sloped or uneven ground?

    Yes, with the right equipment and planning, tight access excavation can manage uneven terrain safely while keeping the work area stable and controlled.
