David Savic of Savic Plant Hire recently called in to Digga HQ and chatted to us about his Digga tilting 4 in 1 Bucket and Cleana bucket broom. The Digga 4 in 1 bucket and Cleana bucket broom are Australian made and feature practical features to make light work of earth moving. David’s business offers plant hire to all walks of constructors and earth movers and believes being versatile for his customers if very important; just like supplying them with quality products that can get the job done. That’s why he chooses Digga Australia machinery attachments.

He commented, “From the level gage at the back of the bucket to the vi...
