Our 1.5 Tonne Mini Excavators – a CAT 301.7D and a KUBOTA U17 – are best suited on jobs where working space is limited. With their commendable boomswing, narrow frames, and zero tail swing, our 1.5 Tonne machines get into places other excavators simply can’t. The rubber tracks also leave a minimal footprint, allowing these units to operate on sensitive surfaces without destroying them. The open-cabs are equipped with both Cat and John Deere control patterns.

POPULAR APPLICATIONS

These units are great for small excavation projects, especially when dealing with space restrictions. The rubber tracks and low-pressure footprint make our minis ideal for your trench digging projects, such as perimeter drainage or irrigation lines, even on turf. These units also work well when landscaping, thanks to a small frame, handy thumb, and retractable tracks that slim them down to just under 40” wide.

INCLUDED BUCKETS

Rental of the Mini Excavators includes 12” and 16” wide digging buckets and a 24” (U17) or 30” (CAT) wide clean-up bucket.
