Medium Excavators

Medium excavators bridge the gap between smaller machines and heavy production equipment, offering an excellent balance of power, reach, and versatility. Typically weighing between 20 and 35 tonnes, they are widely used for commercial construction, civil infrastructure, roadworks, utility installation, and bulk earthmoving. Their increased digging depth, lifting capacity, and hydraulic performance allow them to handle larger attachments and more demanding applications while remaining versatile enough for a wide range of construction and civil projects. Medium excavators are often the preferred choice when productivity becomes a priority.
