Why choose Mini Excavators

  • Comfort and Control

    Putting the control in your hands, stick steer and cruise control make manoeuvring, positioning and travelling in your excavator easier. For your comfort, you have the option of an air-conditioned, sealed and pressurised cab on the majority of models.

  • Affordable

    The new range of mini excavators offers lower ownership and operating costs. Now you can spend less time and money on servicing and fuel. The steel panel design is highly durable, making each machine an investment that can stand up to the test of challenging jobsites.

  • High Performance

    Multifunctional and versatile, these mini excavators are best in their class for productivity and performance. You can customise the monitor settings to suit the task in hand with adjustable operator and attachment settings. The Next Gen models deliver up to 20% more performance alongside an increase in fuel efficiency.

  • No-hassle servicing

    Daily maintenance is easy, with improved ground-level access on the 6-10 tonne models. On the 1.5-3.5 tonne models, access panels allow for quick routine servicing, while the tilt cab/canopy feature keeps larger servicing times to a minimum. Longer service intervals on all models mean less downtime and more productive hours on site.

“This machine is a beast! It’s strong and fast."
