Mini-excavator Class
Specifications, and Pricing
Limited-access machine
Great for landscapers and waterproofers, anyone working on residential sites with tight access, small spaces, particularly to the back yard. Ramp it down and run it under the house when lowering basements/underpinning. Or industrial jobsites where clearances are limited or when working indoors. Tiny units, but will outwork 3 manual labourers on shovels. Not suitable for use with attachments.
