FAQ — Excavator
Do you need a permit to operate an excavator?
Depending on the province, a heavy machinery operator certification may be required. In Ontario (Red Seal) and Quebec (CCQ), certifications exist for professional operators.
What excavator size to choose for foundation digging?
For a single-family home, a mini excavator (1–5 tonnes) handles tight access. For deep excavations, a standard excavator (8–20 tonnes) is recommended.
Is site delivery included?
Transporting an excavator requires a specialized flatbed trailer. Some Toolsy owners offer delivery — clarify this when booking.
