Learn More About Mini Excavators
Mini excavators are a standard piece of equipment on many job sites because they are versatile and highly productive machines. They can be used for digging material, plowing, landscaping work, demolishing small structures and much more.
These compact machines run on diesel and have a range of attachment available depending on your job. They differ from standard excavators mostly due to size, but also because they reduce track marks and top ground damage.
Mini excavators are also favored machines in smaller work sites because of their maneuverability - you can move them forward & backwards similar to a skid steer - and the fact that you can more easily transport them between sites.
What are the types of mini excavators?
Tail Swing
The conventional mini excavator is what's called a Tail Swing because it houses a counterweight on the back of the unit to stabilize against the excavator's heavy bucket and arm.
The counterweight allows for greater lifting capabilities, which means greater bucket and arm breakout force. These machines also tend to have roomier cabs, giving the operator added space and comfort while he/she maneuvers the machine.
The downside to tail swing mini excavators is due to the counterweight, the overall size of the unit is greater, thus they can stick out and make operation more difficult in tighter spaces
Zero Tail Swing
Zero Tail Swing mini excavators are popular for their ability to navigate tighter workspaces, such as residential or urban job sites. The machines work in a similar way to Tail Swing, using a counterweight to offset the bucket and arm's reach. But the main difference is the counterweight system doesn't stick out beyond the width of the excavators' tracks. The counterweight rotates within the width of the tracks, giving it easier access alongside walls, for example.
