Dingo Hire

A Dingo machine is a mini loader designed to access restricted spaces and to make it much easier to remove grass, move soil, level ground, dig holes, etc.

Mini loader machines are  known Dingo as Kanga despite these being the brand name of some of the mini loader manufacturers. In Australia people use the term Dingo in reference to all mini loaders.

The compact size of Dingos and Kangas allow them to be used in areas with very narrow access such as the side ways or houses. This narrow mini loaders can also complete jobs such as trenching, digging holes with an auger fitted or moving blocks with a block lifter in areas not accessible by conventional Bobcats.

Since the operator stands behind the Dingo this offers better visibility and ease of access in and out of the machine.

A typical Dingo is 1050mm wide. However our Kanga Kid for hire in Perth is an ultra narrow mini loader that has only 800mm width. It is ideal for earthmoving jobs trough access restricted areas.

The selection between a tracked or a wheeled Dingo for hire depends mostly on the surface and site conditions.

Wheeled skid steers are best suited for moving debris and materials over bitumen and hard surfaces. Tyres have the advantage of better speed and maneuverability compared to tracks. Tracked mini loaders have the advantage of being able to float better on soft sand/soil and wet or muddy surfaces. This makes tracks the preferred choice for work on sand and soft surfaces.

In conclusion, worksite conditions will help you decide the best option for your Dingo hire. Perth is known for having mostly sand. This makes tracked machines more popular in this city.

Dingos and Kangas are the most common brands offered by suppliers of mini loader hire. You will often be presented options. But what is the difference?

Both mini digger brands are very easy to operate, they have similar dimensions and controls and they both use the same type of attachments.

The main difference between both mini loader brands is that Dingos are a bit more reliable machines and have a slightly higher dump height.

On the other hand, Kanga Loaders offer an ultra narrow model (“Kanga Kid”) which is narrower (800mm) than any Dingo Model

Additionally, Kanga loaders have a wider range of attachments compared to Dingo.

As of 2023 no license is required to hire a Dingo in Perth. However the rental company might provide you with safe use guidelines and might request a valid Drivers License in order for you to tow the trailer to transport it.
