2. Mini Excavator Overview

The mini excavator is an important tool for general contractors, excavators, plumbers, paving companies and other types of professional contractors around New Castle. With a wide variety of uses and a vast array of attachments to specialize the mini excavators for any job, the machine has many advantages over its larger counterparts. As stated previously, the primary advantage of the mini excavator is its size. Because the compact excavators are so small, they are often used in tight spaces where larger machines would not be able to operate. They are able to maneuver through trees and fit through gates and small openings around New Castle, and because they are lighter than most larger excavators, they do less damage to the landscape. Many of these mini excavators feature expandable tracks, which can be extended or detracted based on the size of the area where work is being done.

Many of the new and used compact excavators on the market have tracks that can be detracted to less than three feet wide. Others are much larger. If the machine will be used for a specific job, or a certain type of job in New Castle, it is a good idea to measure any openings the machine will have to fit through, to determine what size machine is needed.

3. Weight of the Machine

The width of the mini excavators is not the only consideration that has to be made when looking at different machines. Contractors use compact excavators because the weight of the machine often allows them to travel to places a larger machine would be unable to go. As with everything else, the difference in the weight of these machines will determine what type of terrain they can be operated on. The lighter machines will easily be able to transverse soft, wet ground, where heavier machines may not be able to go.

A large proportion of the machines around New Castle are manufactured with a rubber track, as opposed to one of steel. The rubber material is low impact, making traveling on soft ground easier and doing less damage to the New Castle area. Mini excavators can range in weight from as little as 1200 pounds to as heavy as 7000 pounds or more. Light weight machines can be operated with the least amount of damage to the landscape. Because they are so light, they are often are easier to get to job locations around New Castle than larger models. They can be towed on a trailer behind a normal size truck, eliminating the need for special transportation and commercial driver's licenses.

4. Dig Depth

As with the dimensions of the machine, compact excavators can also come with a variety of dig depths. While some can dig up to twelve feet deep, others can go only as little as four. When shopping for a mini excavator, it is important to look at what it will be used for and what depth the machine needs to be able to achieve. The majority of mini excavators can achieve dig depths of ten feet, which is substantial for handling residential construction and other basic projects in New Castle. Most of these residential construction jobs require dig depths not to exceed seven feet. For any digging that will exceed twelve feet, a bigger excavator will most likely be needed.
