Small Excavators

The small excavator is the medium-sized digging machine used in urban construction, utilities and medium-size projects that combines the more efficient engine with the agility and versatility of the mini excavator. Small Excavators range from 6 to 10 tonnes, and offer ideal balance between performance and accessibility. They can take on more demanding digging, lifting and trenching jobs where larger machines can’t operate efficiently. Their versatility can be expanded even further by adding additional attachments, such as an auger, a breaker, and many others, making them great versatile machines that does a lot without the bulk of a full-sized excavator.
