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

Expect specs like:

  • Widths around 1,000mm to 1,300mm

These machines typically offer:

  • Operating heights and digging depths for larger sites

  • General purpose and trenching buckets
