Our Plant Hire Equipment
Mini Digger
Does your job require more than a shovel but less than an excavator? That’s where the role of a mini digger comes in. DCM Hire provides mini diggers for hire in Dublin for homeowners, landscapers, construction crews, builders, and tradespeople working on smaller sites with limited access.
DCM Hire’s compact excavators are a good fit for gardens, driveways, side entrances, and other spaces where the space is tight. Compact excavators are small enough to get into awkward areas, while still having enough digging power for a wide range of jobs.
As far as domestic landscaping is concerned, mini diggers can come in handy for a wide variety of tasks such as clearing old garden sections, digging out areas for patios, preparing ground for new lawns, or helping with garden redesign work. Instead of breaking your back digging soil by hand, a mini digger can help make your job more manageable. Mini diggers can also help for groundworks, including digging shallow foundations, removing earth, and preparing areas before building or paving starts. Mini diggers are also suitable for trenching, as they can help to dig narrow channels for drainage, cables, or pipework.
Unsure about which size plant or equipment to hire? Speak to the DCM Hire team today. By analyzing what you are working on and what the access is like, we can help you choose a machine that fits the job.
Bigger jobs usually call for bigger equipment. If you have a large amount of soil to move, foundations to dig, or a rough piece of ground that needs clearing, an excavator will make the work far more manageable.
DCM Hire supplies excavators for construction, ground preparation, landscaping, and general site work throughout Dublin. Medium excavators are a good choice for many projects because they offer plenty of digging power without being as bulky as some of the larger machines. They work well on busy building sites, but they are just as useful on open ground where there is more room to operate.
For heavy-duty excavation, an excavator can handle jobs such as digging deeper foundations, moving large amounts of earth, cutting through hard ground, and preparing a site before building work gets underway. They are also useful for site clearance, especially where rubble, soil, old materials, or other debris need to be removed before the next stage of the project can begin.
Not sure which excavator you need? Get in touch with DCM Hire and tell us a little about the job. We can look at the type of work, site access, and ground conditions, then recommend a machine that is a sensible fit for what you are doing.
Excavator Hire
Dumper Hire
Moving around rubble, stone, soil, or other heavy material at a job site can be a bit tedious, and doing it by hand can slow down the whole job. Turn to DCM Hire for dumper hire Dublin applicable to a wide range of jobs such as landscaping, groundworks, renovation projects, construction work, and general site clearance.
Dealing with uneven ground or limited access? Need to shift materials from one part of the site to another? Then dumpers are a practical choice. But tracked dumpers are an even better choice for tighter spaces. While larger wheeled machines may struggle to get into tight spaces, tracked dumpers are excellent for handling them.
DCM Hire also proudly offers site dumper hire Dublin for larger jobs where a steady amount of material needs to move throughout the day. Whether you are clearing spoil from excavation work, moving aggregates, rubble, broken concrete, or tidying up after groundworks, the right dumper can make the choice easier for you.
You may be confused about the size or type of the dumper you may need. You need not worry as DCM Hire will always be by your side to guide you about the material that needs moving, the site conditions, and how much access you may have. We can help you choose a dumper that makes sense for the work right in front of you.
Getting the ground ready is not just about clearing it and moving the loose material out of the way. If the surface underneath is soft or uneven, problems can show up later. A roller helps sort that out by pressing the ground down before the next layer goes on. DCM Hire offers Roller Hire Dublin for builders, contractors, landscapers, and homeowners working on everything from private driveways to larger road and site jobs.
For soil compaction, a roller helps tighten up loose ground after digging, levelling, or groundwork. This gives you a more solid base before laying stone, concrete, paving, or other materials. It is a simple step, but an important one if you want the finished surface to hold up properly.
Rollers are also regularly used for asphalt compaction. Once the asphalt has been laid, the roller helps press it down evenly and gives the surface a cleaner, firmer finish. They are useful on driveways, car parks, access routes, and roads, especially where the ground needs to handle regular traffic.
Different jobs call for different rollers. The size of the area, the material, and the amount of compaction needed all matter. If you are not sure what will work best, give DCM Hire a call and explain the job. The team can help you choose a roller that fits the work you have planned.
Roller Hire
Telehandler Hire
Moving heavy materials around a site can become a job in itself, especially when they need to be lifted, carried across rough ground, or placed somewhere above normal reach. A telehandler makes that kind of work much easier. For material handling, these machines are commonly used to move pallets, blocks, timber, equipment, and other bulky loads that would otherwise take a lot of time and effort to shift. They are particularly useful when deliveries are coming in throughout the day and materials need to be moved quickly.
On construction sites, a telehandler can help with loading, unloading, and getting materials up to higher working areas. Its extra reach is handy when a standard forklift simply cannot get the load where it needs to go. Telehandlers are also useful on agricultural projects. They can move feed, tools, supplies, and heavier equipment around yards, sheds, and open areas without creating extra work for the team.
The best machine for the job will depend on what you are lifting, how high it needs to go, and how much room there is to operate safely. If you are unsure which telehandler to hire, give DCM Hire the details of the job. The team can help you choose a machine that suits the weight, height, and working space involved.
Plant Hire for Every Project
When we say that we dole out unique plant equipment for every project, we mean it. We understand that no two projects are the same, and their requirements for plant and equipment hire can’t be either. Some projects may require clearing soil, some others may require levelling ground or opening trenches. Whatever your needs, DCM Hire supplies the machinery necessary to keep your work moving across Dublin.
When it comes to groundworks and excavation, DCM Hire’s equipment can be used to dig, move soil, clear uneven areas, and prepare the ground before construction begins. Our equipment also comes in useful for building foundations, especially where accurate digging and proper site access are necessary.
Landscaping or site preparation finds use of plant machinery for taking care of jobs such as reshaping grounds, clearing gardens, preparing driveways, and getting areas ready for paving or lawns. For residential construction, DCM Hire can supply equipment for extensions, new builds, driveways, and garden projects. We also work with larger commercial developments and industrial projects where excavation, clearance, lifting, or material movement may be required throughout the job. Tell us what the project involves, and we can help you choose machinery that suits your site and the work ahead.

Why Hire Plant Equipment Instead of Buying?
Buying plant machinery makes more sense if you have to use it day in and day out. However, if you have to use it for a limited-scope project, then hiring makes better financial choice. Here are some more reasons why hiring instead of buying is the more practical option:
Lower upfront cost
When you are only going to use the equipment probably once or occasionally, hiring makes more financial sense as you would not have to tie up a large amount of money in a single investment.
No maintenance to worry about
Since DCM Hire will have full ownership of the equipment, you will not have to worry about the servicing, repairs, and routine checks of the equipment. This means less responsibility for you.
No storage space needed
Large machinery takes up space which you may not have to worry about if you hire instead of buying DCM Hire’s equipment. With hire, the equipment goes back once the job is finished.
Access to modern machinery
Hiring gives you the chance to use up-to-date machinery without the worry of having to replace old machines yourself.
Flexible hire periods
Hire periods can be matched to the length of the job, where you can hire plant or equipment for a day, week, month, or even longer.
Less downtime
DCM Hire’s well-maintained fleet of plant and tools for hire deliver more efficiency with reduced downtime caused by breakdowns of machines that are not ready to work.
Better value for short jobs
For one-off or occasional projects, hiring is more cost-effective than buying.
The right machine for each job
Instead of forcing one machine to do everything, you can hire equipment that actually suits the work that you are carrying out.
Safety, Maintenance & Compliance
Plant equipment hire should be ready to work properly from the moment it arrives on your site. That is why, DCM Hire puts a strong focus on regular maintenance, careful checks, and practical support throughout the hire period.
Routine servicing
Machines are serviced regularly, with worn parts and small issues dealt with before they have a chance to cause trouble on site.
Safety inspections
Important areas such as controls, tyres, tracks, moving parts, and general machine condition are checked as part of the safety process.
Manufacturer maintenance schedules
Servicing is carried out with the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance intervals in mind.
Pre-hire equipment checks
Before a machine leaves DCM Hire, it gets another look over to make sure everything is working as it should.
Operator guidance
Not used that particular machine before? Our team can explain the main controls and point out anything worth knowing before you get started.
Emergency support
If an issue comes up during the hire, give us a call. We will help work out what has happened and what needs to be done next.
Well-maintained machinery
Regular attention keeps the fleet in better shape from one job to the next.
Reliable performance
Better-maintained equipment means fewer avoidable interruptions and more time spent getting the actual work done.
How Plant Hire Works
Getting plant equipment hired should not take half the day. DCM Hire keeps the process clear, so you can sort the machinery, price, and delivery without unnecessary back and forth.
Step 1: Tell Us What You Need
If you know the exact machine, that is easy. If you do not, just tell us what the job involves. Site access, ground conditions, the type of work, and how long you expect to need the equipment all help us point you in the right direction.
Step 2: We Price the Hire
Once the machine and hire period are clear, we will put together a competitive quote. Hire can be arranged for a day, a week, or for longer jobs where the equipment needs to stay on site.
Step 3: Collect It or Have It Delivered
You can collect the machine from the depot if that suits you, or arrange delivery to your site anywhere across Dublin. We will confirm the details before the hire starts, so there are no surprises on the day.
Step 4: Return It or Keep It a Bit Longer
Finished with the machine? Return it as agreed. If the job runs over, give us a call. Provided the equipment is still available, the hire can be extended so you can finish properly instead of rushing the last part of the work.
