Excavators are earthmoving machines fitted with bucket attachments for digging trenches, holes and foundations. However, these large machines aren't always the right choice for smaller, more congested job sites. That's where mini excavators come in. This powerful and compact machinery can undertake all the duties of standard excavators with the added benefit of navigating narrow spaces with optimal maneuverability.
You can invest in mini excavator rentals for your job site at The Cat® Rental Store. We're dedicated to providing our customers with reliable, high-performance machinery equipped with some of the latest technologies on the market.

Cat mini excavators weigh between 1 and 10 metric tons. These machines combine fuel economy and a compact size to fit your job site. They are easy to transport and can maneuver in tight spaces for smaller tasks that may not require the horsepower of larger machines.
Mini excavators typically have zero or near-zero tail swing, so they navigate obstacles with ease. They are also light on finished surfaces like sidewalks to prevent significant wear and tear. Operators commonly use these machines for tasks like digging holes or trenches in landscaping.
These excavators are an excellent alternative to standard size equipment when a task is too small for a full-size model but too time-consuming or difficult to perform by hand.
Cat small excavators weigh between 11 and 18 tons. This size of machine is ideal for hard-to-reach spaces that require a substantial amount of horsepower.
These models are known for fuel efficiency and advanced hydraulic systems that let you complete big jobs at a lower cost per hour. The small excavators often have a larger tail size than the mini version, but they can still perform on somewhat congested job sites.
Small excavators are common in several industries, including sewer repairs, indoor work, foundational repair and water line installs. In many regions, it is also possible to haul the small size excavator behind a Class 1 or Class 2 truck without the need for a commercial driver's license.
Mini excavators are tracked machines with a heavy-duty arm connected to a bucket. Due to their small size, minimal weight and zero-tail-swing operation, these machines can more easily maneuver tight, crowded spaces than their full-sized counterparts. Mini excavators also exert minimal ground pressure, making them ideal for working on finished surfaces without producing track marks or ground damage.
