What is an Excavator?

Are you just starting out in the industry and unsure of what an excavator is? An Excavator is a type of heavy construction equipment primarily used for digging holes, lifting/placing large objects, demolition of structures and landscaping. They are made up of a cab, dipper, boom and bucket. The cab is on a revolving platform sitting above the undercarriage.

Our excavators are classed as ‘mini’ or ‘Compact’, primarily used for smaller applications than their bigger brothers. Mini Excavators tend to have a longer life span due to their usage on small projects and versatility. They are more beneficial to hire on a shorter term basis due to the convenience of being able to change the size depending on the project it’s being used for. Mini Excavators are great to use for:

  • Making small trenches,
  • Landscaping,
  • Digging holes (for ponds or swimming pools),
  • Demolition of small structures,
  • Footings,
  • Small DIY projects,
  • Ploughing large amounts of snow
