Achilles Machinery supplies compact and mid-size mini excavators from our Whenuapai, Auckland base. The range covers narrow-access landscaping and property work through to heavier civil, drainage and contracting tasks, with local parts, attachments and practical after-sales support.
Choose the Right Mini Excavator for Your Project

What to Check Before Buying
- Site access: measure gates, paths and restricted work areas at their narrowest point.
- Transport: confirm the machine, trailer and attachments are suitable for your towing or transport setup.
- Digging requirements: compare maximum digging depth and reach with the trenches, foundations or drainage work you expect to complete.
- Attachments: tell us if you need buckets, an auger, ripper, grab, quick hitch or other hydraulic tools.
- Support: consider parts access, maintenance guidance and who you can call when you need help after delivery.
