If you are in the business of moving earth, you know what an excavator is. However, conventional excavators are not the solution for every earth-moving or shifting job. At times, you may find yourself in a situation where going bigger is not the answer, and in fact, going smaller is the right approach to take. For this, you need a compact excavator and good quality excavator shear attachments.
What is a Compact Excavator?
Today, mini or compact excavators are very popular. These pieces of equipment are wheeled or tracked vehicles operated by a driver sitting in a cab. They have an operating weight ranging between 0.7 to 8.5 tons, and their purpose is identical to that of larger excavators. They are meant to either dig up earth or demolish sites. However, differences do exist. The compact excavator is:
* Smaller than similar excavators
* Employed for small to medium-sized projects
* The superior choice for confined and small spaces
* Easier to move to out-of-the-way places
* Less damaging environmentally – particularly if the tracks or wheels are made from rubber instead of steel
Mini compactors are ideal for situations where the space to dig or demolish is tight. They can perform either jobs using one of two basic attachment types. The project you are working on will determine what attachment comes into play. You can purchase a variety of attachments for a mini excavator. The most common ones are:
* Augers
* Buckets
* Compaction wheels
* Compactor plates
* Excavators
* Rippers
Mini excavators are a new line of excavation equipment that conforms to the stringent EPA regulations, including:
* Fuel efficiency
* A clean-running engine with more horsepower
* A low vibration engine
* Conforming to the Tier IV emissions standards
* A variable width undercarriage
* A conventional tail swing
