What are mini excavators usually used for?

Large excavator equipment on construction sites is often a behemoth of more than 30,000 pounds, and they can meet the digging capacity required during construction. But there are always daily excavation tasks in life, and these large excavator equipment are not suitable for such scenarios. On the contrary, although the size of small excavators is not comparable to the equipment on the site, but their versatility is not comparable to large excavators.

Small excavators are often referred to as compact excavators, and generally perform well in daily landscaping, small digging trenches and other projects. In addition to the standard excavator buckets and blades, these excavators can be configured with a variety of attachments to accomplish a variety of content. The versatile mini excavator has a powerful hydraulic system that can perform a variety of functions. On the other hand, due to their small size, mini excavators do not exert a strong squeeze on the road they pass through. Their compact size allows them to maneuver in hard-to-reach places for full-size excavators, backhoes and even skid steers.

Mini excavators have single-arm operation and swing compactly, so they can work in very small spaces. This type of excavator can be equipped with tracks or wheels, the former can work reliably in muddy ground conditions. So what are the specific uses of small excavations?
