Mini excavator

Mini excavators are versatile and easy to use, making them the first choice for both professional and private operators. They provide high precision in tight spaces and are ideal for everything from earthworks and landscaping to pipe laying and infrastructure maintenance. Most mini excavators weigh between 1.5 tonnes and 5.5 tonnes, making them easy to transport and handle on various jobsites.

Komatsu mini excavators are known for their reliability and efficient fuel economy. The machines have a compact design, yet offer impressive digging power and stability. Modern hydraulic systems ensure smooth and precise control, so that the work can be carried out quickly and accurately.

Mini excavators for sale - which model is right for you?

The mini excavator you need depends on the size of the project, the working conditions and how long you need the machine for.

• Small projects and shorter assignments - If you need to carry out smaller excavation jobs, such as drainage, cable laying or gardening, a compact 1-2 tonne mini excavator can be ideal. These machines are lightweight, easy to transport and require minimal space.
• Medium-sized tasks – For foundation work, walkway construction or light construction work, a mini excavator between 2-5 tonnes can provide the necessary balance between power and flexibility.
• Long-term or heavier projects – For larger infrastructure projects or jobs that require higher digging capacity, a mini excavator between 5-8 tonnes will provide better performance and stability. These machines are still compact, but have more powerful engines and more advanced features for increased productivity.

Electric mini excavators

For projects where emissions and noise are important factors, electric mini excavators can be a good option. These machines have zero emissions, lower operating costs and can be used indoors or in densely populated areas without disruption.

Driver requirements and training

Although mini excavators are small, they require the same driver qualifications as larger excavators. The exception is if the engine is under 15 kW, where the requirements are somewhat simpler. To ensure safe and efficient use, we recommend machine operator courses, so that the driver receives the necessary training and certification.
