1 to 2.5 tonne Mini Excavators 

Working in small spaces has never been so easy – or so comfortable. Choose from four models with industry-first features that improve performance and comfort like joystick steer and air conditioning cab options. 

When considering a 1 to 2.5 tonne mini excavator, it's important to consider the mode of transport you’re using to get your machine from A to B, the dig depth needed, lift capacity needed (i.e. is there a particular block or casting to lift), do you require a compact radius or standard tail swing, is air conditioning wanted and what access width is required.
