Would a mini excavator would be right for my project?
It depends on the depth of the hole you require. To dig holes that are 10-foot-deep, a mini excavator weighing 1,800 kg to 3 tonnes would suffice. If you need to dig a depth of 14 feet, go for a 4.5 - to 5.5 tonnes mini excavator. For holes deeper than 14 feet, a larger excavator would help you finish your project sooner.
What’s the difference between an excavator and a backhoe?
The main difference between the two is the size. In general, excavators are larger, with some models weighing over 90 tonnes. These are used in large-scale industrial work such as demolition and mining. Backhoes, meanwhile, are smaller. With an ‘arm’ equipped with a bucket on the end, this machine can reach down and out, making it ideal for digging or lifting.
What is the biggest excavator?
Caterpillar’s Bucyrus RH400 holds the title for the biggest hydraulic excavator in the world. Weighing about 980 tonnes, this front shovel excavator has a 10.98 metre crawler length and an undercarriage width of 8.6 metres.
