A high performance machine, the stump grinder’s unique design pivots over the centre line of the wheels, allowing the grinding head to sweep easily across the stump while the wheel base remains stationary. This unit is excellent in tight access situations with a wheel base of only 740mm. Regularly used by many arborists and landscapers for tree works and maintenance.
Whether it’s an old red gum in the backyard or a string of stumps across a cleared block, you’ll need appropriate equipment to ensure the job is done correctly. That’s where a stump grinder comes in and at Hiredepot, we’ve got exactly what you need.
We hire out heavy-duty stump grinders that chew through timber with ease. Available for pickup from Fairfield or Glen Iris, or delivered straight to your site anywhere across Melbourne. Trailer included, at no extra cost, as long as your vehicle can tow it.
A stump grinder is a piece of equipment designed to remove tree stumps by grinding them into small wood chips. It uses a high-speed rotating cutting disc with tough tungsten teeth to tear through wood just below ground level. Ultimately, you’ll be left with a neat pile of mulch where a stump used to be.
Most models, including those we hire at Hiredepot, are compact and easy to manoeuvre in tighter spots. Ideal for backyards, laneways, or alongside fences, and powerful enough to make short work of hardwood species common around Melbourne.

These are walk-behind models, which make them easy to control, and you don’t need a licence. Just be sure to wear proper PPE when operating the machine (gloves, eye protection, long sleeves, etc. – please refer to hazard assessment sheet).

Generally yes, but caution is key. The grinder is designed to deal with surface-level roots and stumps. If you’re working close to plumbing, gas lines, or the foundations of a building, it’s best to dial things back or consult a professional first (i.e. Before You Dig Australia).
Contact us today to have a stump grinder delivered directly to your worksite anywhere across Melbourne, or visit our branches in Glen Iris or Fairfield to collect the machine using a complimentary trailer (subject to availability and your vehicle’s towing capacity).
