A small excavator is a common construction machinery, mainly used for land leveling, excavation and dredging of rivers, especially for narrow sites such as construction sites and mines. So, how many tons does a small excavator weigh? Let's introduce it below.
There are many models of small excavators on the market, and the weights are also different. Generally speaking, the weight of a small excavator is between 0.8 and 10 tons, and most of them weigh between 1.5 and 3 tons. However, it should be noted that the weight of a small excavator is also closely related to its power, so the weight of small excavators of different powers is also different. Looking closely, it can be divided into:
The weight range of 0.8-ton mini excavator is 700-900kg
The weight range of 1.5-ton mini excavator is 1400-1700kg
The weight range of 3-ton mini excavator is 2800-3500kg
The weight range of 5-ton mini excavator is 4500-5200kg
The weight range of 8-ton mini excavator is 7800-8800kg
The weight range of 13-ton mini excavator is 12800-13800kg
The weight of the mini excavator also directly affects its use effect. Generally speaking, the heavier the weight of the mini excavator, the greater the damage to the ground, and the too light mini excavator cannot withstand some heavy work. Therefore, it is very important to choose the weight of the mini excavator that suits your work needs.
Of course, the weight of the mini excavator is not a factor to consider. Other factors such as working depth and bucket capacity are also factors that must be considered when choosing a mini excavator. In addition, you need to choose to buy according to the actual use.
