The machine that moves what the digger dug. It carries 500 kg in a steel skip on rubber tracks, fits through a 715 mm opening, and tips hydraulically at one lever, so the spoil leaves the site without a shovel.

Why it earns its keep
715 mm clearance against a standard 813 mm back door, for jobs with no side access.
One lever tips the steel skip hydraulically, right where the spoil needs to go.
Rubber tracks keep ground pressure low and climb slopes a loaded barrow cannot.
At about 40 kg of wet spoil a barrow, one 500 kg load is roughly twelve trips.
Throttle and tip lever sit together on the handlebar.
The skip lip is low enough to shovel into without lifting overhead.

Questions
715 mm at its narrowest, on a frame 800 mm across. A standard UK internal door opening is 838 mm and a back door is usually 813 mm, so yes — but measure the frame rather than the door, and watch for a threshold strip that eats the height.
About twelve. A builder's barrow holds roughly 40 kg of wet spoil before it becomes unmanageable. On a 20 metre path that is the difference between an afternoon and a morning.
It is built for it — the photographs on this page are of exactly that. Take slopes straight up or straight down and never across; a tracked machine tips sideways with very little warning once a loose load shifts.
Rubber tracks spread the load far better than wheels, but low ground pressure reduces marking rather than removing it. On soft or newly laid ground, board out a route.
Engine oil and air filter to the engine maker's schedule, track tension checked regularly, and the hydraulic level checked before each session. Ask us for a price and delivery time on tracks and belts.
The rest of the range
The digger that starts the job: 705 mm tracks, blade on the front, canopy overhead.
Clears the brash after the digging: petrol chipper on two wheels.
Finishes the job: takes the stump out on a walk-behind Honda grinder.
