Micro excavators are machines that are specifically designed to be used on smaller excavation sites. They are typically used for clearing debris and soil from excavations that are smaller than 2 meters wide and 2.5 meters deep. Mini excavators can also be used to trench and break up concrete.
Mini diggers are great machines for a wide variety of tasks, everything from excavating for underground utility installations to moving decorative rocks in a patio project to breaking up concrete in a demo job. The compact size of these electric micro diggers allows most of them to be transported without a CDL and operate in places where larger equipment simply cannot. The micro digger category includes models ranging from 0 to 8 metric tons, with the 3- to 4-metric-ton range being very popular. In addition, zero tail swing excavators have been popular due to the confined areas or conditions where contractors are working. These electric mini diggers enjoy the ability to work next to obstacles without worrying about the machine's housing hitting an object when the operator rotates it.
Safety features are among the top considerations when customers choose electric mini excavators. For instance, when working in a crowded area, rearview cameras and travel alarms are necessary. If the small excavator is going to be equipped with a breaker, a cab machine will provide the operator with greater protection than a canopy. The same would apply to a mulcher or mower.
There are all different kinds of attachments, but the implements are becoming increasingly specialized and high-tech. For example, tilt rotators on small diggers have been growing in popularity for the last few years. They provide adaptability in a variety of tasks, such as grading, general excavation, and material handling, by allowing operators to tilt and rotate an attachment 360 degrees.
