Cat Mini Excavators
Ideal for digging ponds and pools, Empire has mini excavators that are strong enough to get the job done, but small enough to go through side gates into the backyard (36” widths). Once it’s in the backyard, the Cat Mini Excavator tracks expand to provide additional stability regardless of terrain. A mini excavator also frees up your crew – rather than three employees digging a hole, they can be installing pavers or planting trees.
300.9, 302.7, 303.5, 305.5 models are the most popular for pool digging, while a 308 is recommended for larger landscaping projects.

- Buckets for digging and backfilling dirt, gravel, etc.
