Mini Excavators

Mini excavators dig, trench, grade, and load in tight spaces where full-size machines can't fit. Built for contractors, landscapers, and site builders, our compact excavators handle footings, utility work, demolition, and landscaping with the reach and breakout force to move real material on a small footprint.

Choosing a Weight Class

Weight class sets what a mini excavator can dig, lift, and reach. Lighter machines fit through gates and work indoors; heavier machines dig deeper and pull harder.

• Compact classes: Tight access, landscaping, and light utility work.
• Heavier classes: Deeper digging, footings, and demanding excavation.

What to Look For

• Dig depth: Match maximum dig depth to your deepest work.
• Attachments: Buckets, augers, breakers, and thumbs expand what one machine does.
• Access width: Narrow machines and retractable tracks fit through gates and doorways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a mini excavator or a trencher?

A mini excavator digs holes, footings, and variable-width work and runs attachments; a trencher only cuts narrow, consistent trenches but does it faster over long runs.

How do I pick a weight class?

Balance dig depth and lifting power against your access width and transport. A bigger machine digs more but is harder to move and fit.

Can I run attachments on a mini excavator?

Yes — augers, breakers, thumbs, and grading buckets let one machine cover many tasks. Check hydraulic and coupler compatibility.
