The 11,000 lb mini excavator, as the name implies, is much smaller and more compact than a standard excavator so it’s suitable for small- to medium-sized digging tasks. Typical jobs for a mini excavator include trenching, backfilling, digging or clearing away debris from demolition and construction sites. Equipped with a boom, the mini excavator gives operators direct and easy access to digging sites. A versatile tool, the mini excavator is ideal for construction or maintenance crews that need something more compact.
