A Mini excavator may be a small construction machine, nevertheless they are as mighty as any other heavy machine that are perfect solutions for landscaping projects, construction jobs or even farming among a variety of other applications. Among the primary reason that makes a mini excavator mighty is the small size fitted with rotating cabs that enables these machines into the tightest of spots and reach the most difficult angles.
Available on both tracks and wheels and also has the capacity to support a wide range of hydraulic attachments render these machines practical for most heavy duty tasks. The other factor that makes these machines practical is the fact that they are readily and easily obtained for hire from construction equipment rental companies, all one has to do is conduct a search on search engines.
Below are some of the most common uses for a mini excavator in brief.
Construction Projects
Mini excavators as explained above are suitable for a wide range of construction related tasks that include digging trenches or ditches in in a congested environment or dig on surfaces that are delicate (mini excavators or light and cause less damage on surfaces). These machines are also able to move debris and waste materials from construction sites very quickly apart from drilling using augers, or breaking hardened earth using ripper attachments or compactor attachments towards compacting earth.
Landscaping Projects
Among all projects, the mini excavator is most popular for landscaping projects mainly due to the fact that their compact size helps in moving between garden beds and narrow paths whereas the lightweight aspect of the machine allows the machine to be used on the most delicate of surfaces. A mini excavator is capable of planting or even removing trees or pillars, bringing down small structures, removing brush or debris quickly or even digging for installing pools or small ponds.
Utility or Maintenance Work
The mighty mini excavator is also great for certain types of utility work as they are capable of doing the same work that standard or larger excavators do, only at a much lesser cost of rent (mini excavators cost less to rent). From digging trenches to place drains and sewers, clearing snow, drilling holes for fences and clean ups, the mini excavator is capable of doing all of the above quickly and effectively.
Farming Operations
The mini excavator is also perfect for farming operations with the right type of hydraulic attachment. For instance they may be fitted with fork attachments that enable the mini excavator to be used for moving hay bales or tilling soil, digging ditches, lifting feed bags or even mowing grass on large plots of land rapidly.
Managing and Handling Materials
The mini excavator was primarily designed for this function it would seem as these machines are perfectly designed for lifting things and given the fact that some hydraulic attachments are able to manage the oddest of shapes (forks, bale grabs, grapplers, material handling arms and bucket thumbs are attachments that were mainly designed to handle just about any kind of material.
