Excavator Sizes and Typical Applications

Smaller and Tight-Access Excavators

Compact models like 0.8t and 1t micro-excavators are ideal for:

  • Backyard and residential projects
  • Narrow access points and gated areas
  • Trenching in confined spaces

These machines typically feature:

  • Narrow widths around 700mm to 800mm
  • Lighter operating weights for minimal ground impact
  • Easy manoeuvrability in tight spots

Mid-Range All-Rounders

The 1.7t excavator is our most versatile unit. These machines offer a balance of power and access. They are commonly used for:

  • Service installs and plumbing
  • Retaining wall prep
  • General site clean-ups and moving dirt

Expect specs like:

  • Widths around 1,000mm to 1,300mm
  • Increased lift capacity
  • Improved stability with expanding tracks

Larger and High-Capacity Excavators

For heavier work, larger units like 3.5t and 5t excavators are built for:

  • Bulk material handling
  • Commercial garden projects and construction
  • Jobs requiring higher reach and deeper digging

These machines typically offer:

  • Operating heights and digging depths for larger sites
  • Higher operating weights for stability
  • Stronger hydraulic performance for demanding attachments

Attachments Available

Most Diggermate excavators can be paired with practical attachments, including:

  • General purpose and trenching buckets
  • Rippers for hard ground
  • Augers for post holes and footings
  • Rock breakers (location dependent)

This flexibility lets you use one machine for multiple tasks. You’ll save time and money by avoiding unnecessary machine changes.

Choosing the Right Excavator

The key is matching the machine to your project needs:

  • Site access and ground conditions
  • Digging depth and lift requirements
  • Attachment needs for the task

Your local Diggermate team can help recommend the right excavator setup. We’ll ensure you get the performance you need without paying for excess capacity you won’t use.
