The Basics
It is hard to gauge the power and potency of compact excavators from their size. But they can handle everything their larger counterparts can, and perhaps more.
Essentially, compact excavators are ideal for small and medium construction sites and areas with tight spaces. They can work in the dirt and other materials to dig trenches, remove trees, drill holes to install poles, and carry oddly shaped debris from one location to another.
Excavators feature a long, hydraulic arm with a bucket, which the operator controls using levers in the cab. These machines come with tracks instead of wheels, making it easier for them to move over challenging terrain safely and quickly.
Tracks also help compact excavators change directions and accomplish tasks even in narrow spaces on a worksite.
Get More Out of Your Excavator
Although the bucket is the most critical attachment of an excavator, manyof the latest machines can also handle various other implements. This allows utilizing your model to tackle tasks other than just digging the ground and removing debris.
You can use a grappler to move specific objects or an auger to drill holes in the ground. You can also use a breaker to break down solid materials like concrete or rocks and make your compact machine more versatile for your work site.
