Excavator Tracks
Mini excavators (or compact excavators) are vehicles that many contractors use for both digging and moving aside materials on a jobsite. Compared to their bigger version, these heavy machines have an operating weight from nearly 0.7 to 8.5 tones. They have many advantages and thus quickly become a tempting option for carrying out jobs related to engineering, building and other similar fields, especially in urban areas, where the space for operating is limited.
Mini excavators can not only fit almost each area that needs some digging, but they are also easy to operate with, since learning how to work with them is fast and doesn’t require a lot of previous experience. Furthermore, their smaller size removes many restrictions when it comes to transporting the vehicle from one place to another- you can effortlessly do the transfer using only a trailer or a pickup truck. By obtaining one of these mini diggers you will definitely feel the comfort of less noise, compared to the full-size machine, as well as the simplicity of making manoeuvres because of their potential to do 360 degree rotations.
As far as price is concerned, it depends on the concrete model, but we can surely say that the cost of a mini excavator is close to that of a normal sized vehicle. The advantage is that you can use the compact version anywhere you want, unlike the other kind of machine.
Last but not least we have to mention the fact that mini excavators are capable of operating in a much gentler manner and do less harm to the surface as opposed to bigger excavators and the underlying reason for that are the excavator tracks that such machines use. Usually made of rubber, this type of tracks allows the machine to ride smoothly without leaving noticeable marks.
