Mini diggers, also known as mini excavators, are a versatile piece of plant equipment that can be used for a variety of tasks and in a multitude of locations. Here are three of the main reasons why we believe you should add a mini digger to your plant equipment, if you don’t have one already.
Versatility
Mini diggers can be fitted with a range of attachments, giving you a lot of options about how you use these kinds of vehicles on your construction and landscaping jobs. You can attach a standard bucket, a hammer or even a grapple.
These little vehicles can therefore be used for every activity from digging trenches to removing tree stumps. As they’re small, they can easily operate in tight spaces, so if your construction site is somewhat restricted then a mini excavator could well be the way to go.
Transport and storage
Any piece of plant equipment that is smaller will be easier to store – and more cost effective as it requires less space. What’s more, mini excavators are also easier to transport between different sites because their size allows them to be easily loaded onto the back of a truck.
They also weigh less than standard diggers, which contributes to making them easier to transport from job to job.
Zero emissions
Okay, so not every mini digger promises zero emissions, but the Sany Electric SY19E can make this boast. This electric mini excavator is ideal for getting into tight spots and for lowering your costs and emissions.
With a long battery life and fast-charging option, you can take it anywhere and have it ready to go in next to no time. These Sany excavator models are fitted with a standard automotive charging port, so you won’t need specialist charging points to get them ready to go. The other benefit to opting for a fully electric mini excavator is that they produce less noise than their diesel-fueled counterparts.
