Bobcat E10 Mini Excavator Rental on Central Vancouver Island
Ultra-compact mini excavator that fits through standard 36-inch gates. Built for backyard projects, trenching, and tight-access work. Same-week delivery in Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and Nanoose Bay.
Why rent the Bobcat E10?
If you're working in a backyard, around fences, or anywhere a full-size excavator can't reach, the Bobcat E10 is the machine you actually want. It's one of the most compact mini excavators on the market — small enough to roll through a standard 36-inch garden gate, light enough to leave wood decks unmarked, and capable enough to handle real work once it's in.
Renters use it for backyard landscaping projects, trenching for water lines or utilities, footings for small additions, post-hole and stump work, and any job where the access is too tight for something bigger. It's easy to operate, doesn't require a special license, and you can move it on a standard utility trailer.
All Canadian Bin Rentals owns and maintains this machine — it's not a sub-rental. When you book, you're getting a clean, well-maintained Bobcat E10 dropped at your site and picked up when you're done.

Backyard Projects · Trenching · Tight Access
If your project is small enough to be ignored by a full-size excavator but real enough to dread digging by hand, the E10 is the right call.
Backyard Projects
Landscaping, retaining walls, garden beds, pond digs, hot tub footings — any work that needs a real machine in a residential backyard.
Trenching
Water lines, drainage, electrical conduit, gas lines, irrigation runs. The narrow bucket cuts clean, controlled trenches without tearing up the yard.
Tight Access
Fences, gates, narrow side yards, between buildings, around mature trees. Fits through a standard 36" gate, so it can reach places nothing bigger can.
Site Prep & Cleanup
Stump removal, grading, debris pile work, footings for sheds and small additions, post-hole jobs. Compact but capable.
