From one backhoe to the whole yard
1993
One backhoe
Trading commenced as Heath's Backhoe Hire. Operations began with just one backhoe, working the Northern Beaches of Cairns.
Growth
The fleet builds
Over the years the fleet grew to include backhoes, excavators, skid steers, tip trucks, float trucks and hydro-vacuum excavation trucks.
Today
Heath's Excavations
With the increase in machinery came a name change - and a much broader operating area: from the Torres Straits in the North to Cardwell in the South.
