Mini-excavator Class

Specifications, and Pricing

Typical sized mini-ex

This is the machine size most of the utility installers are most frequently seen using.  Waterproofers too, landscapers, and other contractors in both commercial and residential applications.  Has good power, maneuverability and small-space access.  This is the go-to machine for most jobs, unless you require a bigger size.  Not suitable for use with many attachments.
