As a leading manufacturer based in China, we provide a comprehensive range of high-performance small excavators (also known as mini or compact excavators) designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern construction, landscaping, and agricultural projects. Our machinery combines world-class hydraulic components with robust Chinese engineering to deliver maximum ROI for global contractors and equipment distributors.
Our Small Excavator Product Range
We offer a diverse lineup of compact machinery ranging from 0.8 tons to 6.0 tons. Each model is engineered for durability, ease of maintenance, and superior breakout force.
Micro Excavators (0.8T - 1.2T)
Designed for extreme confined spaces, our micro series is ideal for indoor demolition, garden DIY, and narrow trenching. These models feature retractable tracks and a foldable ROPS for easy transport in standard trailers or vans.
Mini Excavators (1.5T - 3.5T)
Our best-selling tier for residential landscaping and utility work. These machines offer a perfect balance of power and portability, often featuring Zero Tail Swing (ZTS) technology to operate safely against walls and obstacles.
Compact Excavators (4.0T - 6.0T)
For more demanding site preparation and agricultural drainage, our 4T-6T range provides the digging depth and lifting capacity of larger machines while maintaining a compact footprint.
