Welcome to the Digga blog

This weekend, Digga  Australia were awarded the 2017 category award for Manufacturing at the Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards. Digga took the annual category win for Manufacturing for the third time and became the only company in 22 years to win the same category three times. The Gold Coast Business Excellence awards launched in 1996 and honours businesses in the Gold Coast region who lead and shape specific industry sectors. The 2017 Manufacturing award recognises Digga’s ongoing commitment to providing the most innovative machinery attachments on the market with a dedication to local manufacture and teamwork. Following the devastating fire that occurred at the Digga Australia head office and factory just over 2 years ago, the award highlights the dedication of the team at Digga. Also known as the Diggaholics, the hard working team have rebuilt their workplace and the main manufacturing facility to be able to continue providing Australian made products on

Slashing similar products off the market, the Digga rotary axe is in a league of its own with the term ‘rotary axe’ uniquely describing the cutting action of the blades – the alternating bevels on the blades working like an axe. Key features of the Digga model include: 20mm thick, hardened reversible steel blades for added life A heavy duty fly wheel which gives smooth rotation while its weight maintains the blades momentum as they strike trees and brush to keep spinning and therefore cutting. 18 carbide grinding teeth are mounted below the fly wheel to grind tree stumps 10mm above ground level Weighing just under a tone the heavy duty design of the Di

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. David has been very happy with his Digga 4 in 1 tilting bucket and Bucket Broom which he regularly uses himself around the yard and on his own property.

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