What is a mini excavator?

A mini excavator is a machine designed for small spaces, divided into agricultural and engineering types. It is characterized by its compact structure, flexible operation, and suitability for various scenarios such as residential construction, municipal engineering, landscaping, and pipeline laying.

Technical Features

1. Compact Design: Small excavators are compact in size, typically weighing between 1 and 10 tons, allowing them to move and work freely in narrow construction site environments, overcoming the spatial limitations of traditional large excavators.
2. High-performance hydraulic system: Equipped with advanced hydraulic technology to ensure precise control of the digging arm and bucket, improving work efficiency and operational accuracy. The high pressure and flow of the hydraulic system also ensure the machine's powerful digging capabilities.
3. Versatile Attachments: Can be configured with a variety of working attachments, such as breakers, grapples, drills, rakes, etc., to adapt to different construction needs.
4. Comfortable Operating Environment: Modern small excavators are typically equipped with air-conditioned cabs and ergonomic control panels, providing a comfortable operating environment, reducing operator fatigue, and improving work efficiency.
5. Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection: Many small excavators use low-emission engines and energy-saving technologies to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. At the same time, their efficient operation also reduces overall construction time and costs.

Small excavators, with their compact design, efficient hydraulic systems, flexible body, versatile attachments, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly features, have become indispensable tools in modern engineering construction.

How do small excavators work?

Small excavators generate power through engines or electric motors, driving hydraulic pumps to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The hydraulic system controls hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors to achieve the actions of the bucket, boom, and walking.

The operator issues commands through control levers and pedals, and the hydraulic system adjusts the flow and pressure of hydraulic oil according to the commands, driving the movement of each component. The chassis is usually track or tire type, providing stability and mobility.

Regular maintenance and inspection of the hydraulic system, power system, and mechanical components can ensure that the machine remains efficient.

Before using a small excavator, operators should familiarize themselves with the machine's safety devices, such as emergency stop buttons and rollover protection devices, to ensure the safety of the operator and surrounding personnel.

For the operation of small excavators, we will include the machine's operation manual or instructional video with the shipment to help you easily master the use of small excavators.

What is the price of a small excavator?

When considering purchasing a small excavator, it is important to first understand its cost. Its price may vary depending on the machine configuration and brand. Entry-level small excavators are more suitable for home use, such as garden trimming, ditching, indoor demolition, etc., while high-end small excavators are more suitable for industrial use.

Entry-level (low fuel consumption: 08, 09 type small excavators)

These small excavators are best suited for home use. The machine has relatively low power and is suitable for working in your own garden or field. With different tools, it can meet different operating needs. The price of this machine is between NT$132,000.00 – NT$140,000.00, which is approximately between $4000 and $4300 United States dollars.

Mid-range (medium power: 12, 15, 17 type small excavators)

This model has higher power than the 08 and 09 models, and the machine size is also larger. The 12-type excavator can be equipped with a vertical single-cylinder engine or a Kubota D722 engine. The 15 model is an upgraded version of the 12 model, which improves its vertical lifting force. The 17-type excavator is equipped with a hydraulic pilot operating system, which enables it to complete multiple action commands simultaneously.

The price of this model of excavator is between NT$164,000.00 – NT$230,000.00, which is roughly between $5,000 and $7,000 United States dollars.

High-end models (high-power version: 20, 23, 25, 27, 30, 35 type small excavators)

These models have higher power and are suitable for urban construction or municipal engineering. All of these models can be customized or optionally equipped according to your needs, such as lengthening/changing the angle of the boom, optional telescopic chassis, boom rotation, side swing, and other functions. The prices of these small excavators vary depending on the configuration, but their selling price may exceed NT$230,000.00.

If you are interested, please contact ourCustomer service staff, and we will send you detailed configurations and quotations.

Application Fields

1. Construction: Small excavators are widely used in farmland renovation, residential construction, garden renovation and other projects for foundation excavation, pipeline laying and other work.
2. municipal engineering: In municipal projects such as urban road maintenance and sewer construction, small excavators can operate efficiently in narrow streets and limited work spaces.
3. Landscape Greening: Used for tree transplantation, land leveling, drainage system construction and other landscaping projects to improve greening effect and efficiency.
4. Pipeline laying: In pipeline laying projects such as electric power, communication, and water supply, small excavators can accurately excavate trenches to ensure the safe laying of pipelines.

Due to its small size, small excavators can move freely in narrow spaces and complete tasks that large machines cannot. In addition, small excavators have lower maintenance costs and relatively low energy consumption, making them an economical and efficient engineering solution.
