35 New Kubota 3 Tonne Mini Diggers Added to WHC Hire Fleet

We are excited to announce that WHC Hire Service has further invested £1 million into its fleet, adding 35 new Kubota KX27-4 mini excavators. This new addition for 2025 is a testament to our commitment to providing our clients with the availability of industry-leading equipment.

The Kubota KX27-4 originally arrived at WHC Hire in 2024, and since, has seen a surge in demand across our client base. These versatile machines are renowned for their performance, reliability, and compact size, making them ideal for all sectors across the construction industry. Notably, the KX27-4 is the largest mini excavator that can be towed by a vehicle under the 3500kg weight limit, offering exceptional flexibility and ease of transport for contractors.

The 35 new machines will be delivered to WHC Hire depots in the coming weeks, further expanding the company’s large fleet. This is the third large investment WHC Hire has made in 2025, with the arrival of new 3500kg IFOR Williams trailers and Thwaites dumpers.

MD James Clutterbuck said, “The Kubota KX27-4 has become a pillar of excellence for us at WHC. After its original introduction, clients were immediately benefiting from the size, power, reliability and value for money they received from a 3-tonne machine. The excavator’s design has also made it much easier for our in-house team to access key components when conducting PDI inspections. Ultimately, boosting our efficiency when it comes to turning equipment around. To meet growing demand, I’m delighted to further invest an additional £1 million to support our 3-tonne mini digger range.”
