An Exciting Partnership
Diggermate is pleased to announce its partnership with the international earthmoving equipment manufacturer, Wacker Neuson.
The company’s rapid growth around Australia and into New Zealand continues to yield a major supply of tight access earthmoving equipment. This partnership will ensure the continued growth of Diggermate’s franchise network operating nationally and soon, globally.
Why Wacker Neuson Matters to Diggermate Franchisees
Diggermate’s partnership with Wacker Neuson is more than a supplier announcement. It is an example of how the Diggermate model is built around quality equipment, practical support and trusted supplier relationships.
For franchisees, equipment choice matters. Reliable machines help reduce downtime, support better customer experiences and give local owners confidence when they are sending equipment out to homeowners, tradies, landscapers and builders.
Wacker Neuson is known internationally for compact construction equipment, including mini excavators, loaders and compaction equipment. For Diggermate, working with recognised suppliers helps support a stronger and more consistent equipment hire network across Australia and New Zealand.
This is one of the reasons supplier relationships are an important part of the overall Diggermate franchise setup and inclusions. A franchisee is not simply buying a machine and starting from scratch. They are joining a system with supplier relationships, equipment knowledge, launch support, operational processes and marketing systems already in place.
What This Partnership Means Today
When this partnership was first announced, Diggermate was preparing to roll out more Wacker Neuson equipment across the network. Since then, the partnership has become part of a broader story: Diggermate’s commitment to building a professional, reliable and scalable equipment hire franchise model.
For customers, quality equipment means better hire experiences, fewer interruptions and more confidence when taking on tight-access earthmoving jobs.
For franchisees, it means access to supplier-backed equipment options, product knowledge and a network that understands the practical realities of compact machinery hire.
Not every Diggermate location has the exact same fleet, and equipment packages can vary depending on the territory, customer demand, finance structure and local business plan. However, the principle remains the same: Diggermate aims to support franchise owners with equipment options that are practical, reliable and suitable for the types of jobs local customers need done.
If you are comparing Diggermate with starting your own mini excavator hire business, supplier relationships like this are part of the difference. You are not working everything out alone. You are joining a franchise model with existing systems, brand support, supplier relationships and operational experience behind it.
The management of both companies is proud to establish this partnership between their respective brands.
“This really gives our franchise network the ability to grow their business and offer more to their growing customer base.” – Mick Watkins, Diggermate Founder

This demonstrates the performance benefits of our equipment to Diggermate customers.” –Henry Placek, Wacker Neuson National Sales & Marketing Manager
