1.55m decides if the fence survives.

Anyone working through side passages and tight driveways knows the score. This 2.8-tonner slips in, digs properly, then tidies with the blade so no one’s barrowing till dark. Twin-speed tracking helps on soft ground, and a quick hitch stops the day stalling for bucket swaps.

Full machine write-up below.

JCB 8026 CTS 2.8t Mini ExcavatorThe JCB 8026 CTS 2.8t Mini Excavator sits in that very useful part of the compact plant market where a machine is still small enough to get into awkward places, yet substantial enough to do proper work once it gets there. At 2,867 kg, it is not a toy-sized digger […...

The lorry’s here. Access isn’t.

This is where a JCB TLT35D Teletruk earns its keep. Proper lift without the bulk, threading through gateways, old sheds and busy yards while the big kit waits outside. Less handballing when it’s wet, fewer daft shunts, and materials actually end up where the crew needs them.

The full feature explains it properly.

JCB TLT35D Teletruk 3.5t Telehandler – RS Machinery BlogThere are plenty of machines that look useful on paper, but the JCB TLT35D Teletruk is one of those pieces of kit that makes more sense the moment you picture it on a real site. Not a vast telehandler built for open ground, and not a standard...

Small dumper. Big difference by four o’clock.

On tight plots and greasy haul routes, a Mecalac TA3sh three-tonner with a swivel skip quietly wins time. No endless shunting, just tip to the side and carry on. Hydrostatic drive keeps stop-start work smooth when the ground’s sloppy and the clock’s ticking.

If you’ve wrestled trenches, kerbs and narrow gateways, you’ll get the appeal. It’s the difference between steady progress and a crew stood waiting.

Full machine write-up below.

Mecalac TA3sh 3 Ton Hydrostatic Swivel DumperThere are plenty of machines on a busy site that make a noise, take up space and look important. Then there are machines like the Mecalac TA3sh 3 Ton Hydrostatic Swivel Dumper, which simply get on with the awkward graft that keeps everything else moving.....

When the gateway decides the job.

At 1.5m wide, this 2.7‑tonner slips in without dismantling half the garden. It’ll trench properly, clean up with the blade and track between tasks on twin speed, which matters after lunch on a long shift.

Operators like kit that saves faff: quick hitch, three buckets, decent cab for November weather. On muddy plots and tight runs, a steady mini often keeps the day moving while the big machine waits outside.

Narrow gateways, no drama.

TB225 is the awkward access fix: 1.1m to squeeze through, 1.5m when you need it planted. Twin speed saves the shuffle between piles, the blade keeps things tidy, and it’ll work right up to walls without feeling twitchy. Quietly takes the hand work out of messy weeks.

Full machine write-up below.

Takeuchi TB225 2.4t Mini ExcavatorThere is a particular sort of site where a full-sized excavator feels like too much machine and a very small digger feels like hard work. The Takeuchi TB225 2.4t Mini Excavator sits neatly in that useful middle ground. It is compact enough to get into awkward places...
