Excavator Sizes and Typical Applications

Smaller and Tight-Access Excavators

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

These machines typically feature:

• Narrow widths around 700mm to 800mm
• Lighter operating weights for minimal ground impact

Expect specs like:

• Widths around 1,000mm to 1,300mm

These machines typically offer:

• Operating heights and digging depths for larger sites
