The Mini Excavator is one of the most versatile and easy-to-use machines you can have at your disposal. With the ability to be used by people renovating their garden to holding its own on the biggest of job sites, there isn’t much a mini excavator can’t achieve. What makes them so good is the range of features that the majority of them come with, especially those within the Tiger Plant fleet.
Throughout the course of this blog we will identify 4 features that make the mini excavator the go-to machine on site.
It may seem like a small detail, but after all the smaller features are the ones that tend to have the biggest impact. Being able to interchange the bucket attachments on the mini excavator means you are able to adapt to whatever task is at hand. For example, if you require a precise outline to be dug, a smaller bucket attachment might be best suited for the job. Now you’ve got your outline, it is probably time the bigger attachments are fitted so you can excavate the land with maximum efficiency.
As the name suggests, the biggest feature of the mini excavator is how small they really are. Our fleet of mini excavators here at Tiger Plant only features machines that are a little over a metre wide, meaning no gate or access point is too narrow. This is what makes these machines so good for landscaping jobs. When access to a garden or area is restricted, fret not as it is likely that the mini excavator will fit and save you hours of labour-intensive work. Of course, if you need an even smaller machine, we offer a selection of micro excavators too.
While we did just mention the fact that a lot of our machines come in a little over a metre in width, a lot of mini excavators come equipped with retractable tracks, making it an even slimmer machine. Take the Kubota KX018 for example, at standard width it is only 1300mm wide, but with the tracks pulled in it comes in at a narrow 990mm. We mean it when we say there are very few access points this machine couldn’t get through.
A lot of the newer machines in our range come equipped with the latest tech inside a spacious cabin. With most manufacturers focussing on operator comfort with their latest models, they have prioritised making their machines as easy as possible to operate. Small details such as cup holders and armrests also go a long way in providing comfort that ultimately turns into highly-efficient work.
