Benefits of a Compact Excavator

Compact Excavators are More Affordable

It takes fewer materials to build a compact excavator, which means it costs less for the manufacturer to make and the price tag will be lower accordingly. Spend less money to get the equipment you need. Anyone can enjoy a lower price tag, but especially those on a tighter budget or those needing to buy multiple pieces of heavy equipment.

It's Easier To Store a Compact Excavator

Since compact excavators are smaller, they can fit into a wider range of storage spaces. Whether you are storing the model on-site at the end of the work day or storing off-site for the winter, it's easier to find a spot to keep a compact excavator.

It's also easier to find an indoor storage space, which helps reduce wear and tear caused by weather. This can lead to reduced parts replacement and repair costs as well as a longer lifespan for the excavator.

Compact Excavators are More Agile

Thanks to the smaller size, compact excavators have tighter turning radiuses. They can more easily navigate around obstacles, which are often plentiful at a construction site! Whether you need to get around a ditch, other pieces of heavy equipment, or move through a fence opening, it will be easier with a compact skid steer. In some cases, the compact skid steers can even access places that a standard size excavator would not be able to fit.

It's Easier To Learn To Operate a Skid Steer

Those new at operating heavy equipment will have an easier time with a compact skid steer. After all, it's much easier to learn to control a smaller skid steer than a larger and heavier model. It will take less time (and stress) to master operation of a compact skid steer, which also means getting to optimal performance sooner.

Compact Excavators Can Still Use Attachments

One key advantage of getting an excavator is the ability to utilize attachments, which help boost the equipment's versatility. Compact excavators can still use a wide range of attachments just like their larger counterparts. Popular compact excavator attachments include a bucket, a grappler, an auger, and a breaker. Despite their small size, compact excavators can be quite versatile thanks to attachments!
