How deep a mini digger can dig?
When hiring a mini excavator, you may ask: How deep a mini digger can dig? Usually not. This number is generally printed at the top of the specification page of a mini digger. This parameter is known as the “digging Depth”.
For some long-limbed models, this parameter can reach up to 4.2 meters or 14 feet, which is sufficient for most of the excavating applications. Usually, utility line hardly sinks more than 3 meters below.
Below are some of the advantages of hiring a mini digger:
Digging depth of mini-excavator:
Generally, the excavator works at the 1.5 to 3.0 meters deep edges of tranches at least, on smaller sites of construction. Hence, a mini digger that can dig up to 4.2-meter hole below the ground, can serve the majority of the contractors superbly indeed. Nonetheless, for everyday compact digger, the 2-meter depth is widely accepted.
The dig depth capability varies from one model to another. While some machines can dig up to 1.2 m. However, some machines are capable of digging up to 3.7 m.
For the mini excavator, the average digging depth is around 3 meters, which allows these diggers to utilized in the many projects including residential and commercial constructions. Mini diggers are specifically popular among utility firms because the majority of utility digging is not more than 1.5 meters.
Zero house or tail Swing:
Almost every manufacturer is now producing their mini excavators with zero houses or tail swing. It means that the excavator can rotate complete 360while cab remains in the width of tracks.
Many contractors find it a very useful feature of the mini digger because they often work in confined spaces. Zero house or tail swing saves machines from hitting with any obstacle when the base is rotated.
Offset Booms:
Offset booms are another function which is becoming increasingly popular among the mini excavator manufacturers. It is also known as the swing booms or articulate booms. This feature allows the machine to dig very closely to the foundations, walls, and other structures without changing the angles and alignment.
This feature is very useful for the contractor because it allows digger to dig parallel to the track. It is perfect for small or tight places.
Attachments:
Almost, every mini-digger has instant coupler attachment mechanism that enhances the capabilities of the machine. It also improves the versatility of the machine. The most important and popular attachment are augers, grapples, hydraulic breakers, etc. Backfill blades are also provided by some manufacturers to include the dual functionality.
So, they can easily perform both types of works, digging the dirt and pushing the dirt into the empty holes after excavation work. It can be used even for basic levelling.
Popular manufacturers:
The market of the mini digger is growing rapidly, no wonder that many manufacturers entering this market. As mentioned earlier, the mini diggers were firstly launched by the Yanmar followed by the company Takeuchi. These Japanese companies are still manufacturing a wide range of mini diggers.
However, in North America, mini diggers are not very popular as they’re common in Europe and Japan. The only manufacturer of the mini diggers in North America is the BobCat. This company is the market leader in North America.
