Why Buy A Compact Excavator?
A compact excavator may be the perfect fit for your needs. These handy pieces of equipment come with many unique perks due to their size, which we discuss below.

The Lower Price Tag
Compact excavators cost less money than their standard sized counterparts. It's largely because fewer materials go into the construction of a compact excavator. The manufacturer spends less money to construct a smaller model, which means they will charge the customer less to purchase the given model. Those on a tighter budget will especially appreciate the lower asking price.
Easier To Learn To Operate
It's much easier to learn the controls on a compact excavator compared to a behemoth of a piece of heavy equipment! The smaller size lends itself well to a simpler turning radius, stopping distance, and other aspects of equipment operation. Operators will learn how to control the model faster and with less stress, which will help make the work experience much better.
Easier Storage
Heavy equipment needs to go somewhere when it's not in use. A compact excavator takes up less space, which expands your storage options. It will be easier to find a spot to park the model, which is especially helpful if you already have multiple pieces of heavy equipment to store.
Better Navigation Of Work Sites
Compact excavators are incredibly agile thanks to their smaller size. This makes getting around a work site a breeze! They can make tighter turns and fit into tighter spaces - and even reach areas that a standard size excavator would be unable to go. Enjoy getting around the work site easier and with less stress when you use a compact excavator.
Impressive Versatility
A main benefit of excavators is their ability to function with attachments - which is a perk that comes with compact excavators as well. Sure, a compact excavator may not be able to work with every single attachment that a standard sized model can. But they can accommodate a wide range of options.
Common compact excavator attachments include:
- A bucket with sharp teeth that can dig past debris and into the ground.
- A grappler that can transport big pieces of debris.
- An auger that can dig deep holes.
- A breaker that can outperform a jackhammer.
These are only a few examples of compact excavator attachments. With the right attachment, your compact excavator can tackle many different tasks. In some cases, it can even help you avoid buying a separate piece of heavy equipment.
