Top Uses for Mini Excavators
Mini excavators are widely used by construction professionals, contractors, and landscapers alike. They’re popular due to the many ways they can be used to dig and conduct a variety of earthmoving tasks.
If you’re thinking about adding a mini excavator to your business, take a moment to learn about their top applications:
- Patios and Decks: Mini excavators are a popular choice for contractors and individuals looking to build patios and decks. The precise leveling of mini excavators is ideal for the leveling process before you begin building the deck. The machine can also pick up heavy pieces of lumber and metal, transporting them to various locations with ease.
- Landscaping: When you need to do a landscaping job for a residential area or office park, you’ll likely want to go with a mini excavator. They’re usually light enough not to harm the ground they drive over and can accomplish a variety of earthmoving tasks.
- Pool Building: Pools are some of the most popular additions to homes, especially in areas that stay warm for much of the year. Mini excavators can be used to dig the hole needed for the pool. Since mini excavators are smaller, they can fit in most residential backyards.
- Irrigation Systems: Since mini excavators are primarily built for digging, they’re ideal for constructing irrigation systems. You can quickly dig the needed trenches for the system with a mini excavator.
- Sewer Line Repair: When a sewer line needs to be repaired, mini excavators are an appropriate choice. As long as you don’t have to dig too far down, they can clear the dirt surrounding the line to give repair professionals access to the sewer line.
- Snowplowing: One of the uses for a mini excavator is removing snow and ice from roads and jobsites. You can place a blade attachment on the mini excavator to easily move snow. You’ll just have to keep an eye on your traction since icy conditions can cause the excavator to lose its tracks.
- Water Features: Ponds, waterfalls, and fountains are all popular additions to residential areas and office grounds. Mini excavators can help you dig deep trenches for pipes and electrical lines. They can also be used for leveling the ground surrounding the water features.
