A mini excavator, also known as a compact excavator or mini digger, is a small construction machine designed for performing various excavation tasks. It is smaller in size compared to standard excavators and is typically used for projects that require precision and manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
A mini excavator works by using hydraulic power to operate its arm, bucket, and other attachments. The operator controls the machine from a cab, using joysticks and pedals to move the excavator and its attachments. The hydraulic system allows for precise movements and efficient digging, making it suitable for a wide range of construction and landscaping tasks.
