Mini excavators – great power in a small machine

MINI EXCAVATORS

Mini excavators are high productivity construction machines. They are great for small areas labor.

The division of excavators is determined by the character of the work. As a rule, those excavators are machines with a mass of up to 6 tons. Although they have a small bucket (the buckets of mini excavators don’t exceed 0.16 cubic meters) they are characterized by high working power, speed and efficiency. Their equipment is usually similar to larger excavators. They have a hydraulically extendable caterpillar track, a front blade, a rotating cabin and a boom rotation mechanism. Their unquestionable advantage is the possibility of using interchangeable equipment (shears, hydraulic hammers, forks, rotary milling cutters and ground drills). This allows for a quick and convenient change of the work character.

The mini excavator will enter almost everywhere and due to its compactness will not cause major damage to the area. You can move on most surfaces, especially if you use rubber tracks. Especially suited to wetlands. In comparison to larger excavators, mini excavators are not in danger of collapsing or getting stuck in the ground. A mini excavator also means less noise – the machine generates less sound when the engine is running and moving.

Mini excavators are a great solution for many companies not only in the broad sense bulilding industry. This is a good solution for those companies that specialize, for example, in water supply services. A mini excavator is also a brilliant solution for small, often single-person, small construction work.
