Just this ride£80
Northern Ireland: free on every ride. Small orders under £50 are £5.
Ireland:£13 per ride, shown in euro at checkout.
We don't deliver to England, Scotland or Wales.
A helmet or other small item ordered with a ride travels free with it. Small items on their own are £8 to Ireland. Collecting from the shop in Cookstown is always free.
That is the whole delivery charge, shown before you pay. Every order goes tracked: you get a confirmation email when you order, and a second one with the tracking number the moment it leaves us. We do not deliver outside the UK and Ireland.
We are at 26 Lisnanane Lane, Cookstown, BT80 9BJ, with the workshop on site. Collecting means you can see it before you take it, and we hand it over built and checked.
Ring 028 8731 2118 before you set off so we have it ready.
It arrives nearly built. On most rides the handlebars and the front wheel need fitting, and the tools for both are in the box.
Collect it from the shop instead and we hand it over built, checked and charged, with nothing for you to do.
Every product carries a one year guarantee. What matters more is who honours it: repairs are done in our own workshop in Cookstown, not posted to a distributor and waited on.
Something not right? Ring 028 8731 2118 and talk to the person who will be fixing it.
You have 30 days from receiving it to ask to return it. Ring 028 8731 2118 or email us first — anything sent back without arranging it cannot be accepted.
The conditions, plainly:
It has to come back unused and unridden, in its original packaging.
Sending it back yourself is free within the 30 days.
If you want us to collect it, that starts at £20 and rises with size and weight.
A 2% restocking fee comes off the refund, to cover checking and repacking.
The Christmas Club lets you pay in instalments and collect nearer the time. Ring 028 8731 2118 and Andy will talk you through how it works, or read how it works.
If you are torn between two rides, unsure about your rider's size, or wondering whether this is too much for a first one — ring 028 8731 2118. You get Andy, who sells these and fixes them.
Most places selling kids' electric rides online are a website and a warehouse — no shop to call into, no workshop, and no one who knows the bike a year later.

Forget flimsy plastic—this is a full-metal thrill rig for backyard diggers who play hard and dig harder. The Sit-On Sandpit Digger is the biggest, toughest ride-on excavator on the sandbox, beach, or backyard battlefield.
For the Mini Construction Crews
Made 1.5× larger than the competition and crafted from 5 mm-thick steel, this beast rides hard and stays solid. A comfy bucket seat with high back support keeps balance locked in—even when lifting the heaviest scoop. Smooth 360° boom rotation and dual-handle controls mean they can dig, tilt, and dump without ever leaving the seat.
For the Parents in the Control Room
This isn’t just play-time—it’s peace of mind. Built to withstand serious play, the full steel frame, powder coating, and all-terrain rubber wheels (20 cm diameter) mean mud, sand, or snow won’t slow it down. It’s built strong, so you don’t have to worry about replacements.

The Best Sit On Sandpit Digger
The best ride-on sandpit digger or excavator you can buy for your kids. It’s a DIG HIT you could say and is perfect accessory for the sand pit, sandbox, garden, beach or playground.
Why is our Sandpit digger the best? It’s in the details.
Unlike our competition this is the biggest metal sandpit digger in the market we have increased the overall size by a scale of 1.5 bigger from our competitors and increased the metal frame and arms to 5mm thick steel.
We have added quality 20cm durable all-terrain rubber wheels, not cheap hard plastic wheels which means good traction on gravel, dirt, and grass so they can move anywhere they want with ease.
Additionally, we have added a comfortable bucket seat with a high supporting back for safety when lifting even the heaviest of loads. The high back support seat makes balance easier for the smaller builders, so they can learn to steer without falling off and will have them a fully licensed digger in no time.
This digger is made totally with solid carbon steel in both frame and bucket, ensuring that kids can dig as much as they want without fear of it breaking and ensure it will dig the toughest material your little engineer or construction manager can find. Kids love the realistic steel construction and pretend they are in control of a big rig like a JCB digger. You will love it, as it’s tough and you won’t be buying a new one anytime soon.
Digging is helped with 360-degree rotation and long boom reach, which allow kids to realistically dig, tilt, and dump dirt without moving from their seat. Furthermore, with dual handle controls, extra-large bucket, wide stable base they will literality move mountains.

Questions parents ask us
How big is the Sandpit Digger?
It’s 1.5× larger than any other ride-on digger out there. This means more scoop, more soil, and more legend in every spin.
What kind of materials are we dealing with? Will it survive real play?
Absolutely. This rig is made from full carbon steel, with 5 mm-thick arms and frame—so it’s tough enough to handle backyard chaos and sandbox shenanigans without breaking a sweat.
Can it go anywhere, or is it just for soft sand?
It’s flexible like your wildest imagination. You’ve got 20 cm all-terrain rubber wheels, so this baby rolls over sand, grass, gravel, and even snow with grip for days—no slip-ups allowed.
Is it comfortable and safe for younger kids?
Totally. The seat features a high-back, bucket-style design that adds stability and support so smaller riders stay balanced—even with the biggest scoops.
Can my kid really dig without getting up?
Yes, and without flinging dirt everywhere. The boom rotates 360° with an extended reach, letting them dig, tilt, and dump from the comfort of their seat—steering chaos from zero movement.
Is this a lightweight plastic toy?
Nope. This is heavy-duty play in a powder-coated steel package—built to last through everything from backyard brawls to beach-bound battles.
What are the dimensions?
It measures a hefty 75 cm (L) × 54 cm (W) × 106 cm (H)—built big, built solid, and built for serious digging stories.
Where’s this fun supposed to happen?
On sandpits, beaches, gardens, playgrounds, or even snowy slopes—this digger brings JCB-level control to every surface and weather condition.
Why do parents love this more than cheap plastics?
Because it’s built like a legend—solid steel, zero flimsy parts, and ready for wild play without the need for replacements. Less dad worry, more playtime roar
