With high digging forces and fast cycle times, the versatile 1.6 and 3 tonne mini excavators can be used on multiple trenched projects, including impact moling, a pipe laying technique used in areas of block pave or landscaping. Delivered 'ready to work' with auxiliary lines and connectors fitted as standard and a dozer blade, ideal for landscaping and site clean up, the Caterpillar mini hydraulic excavator is a front line workhorse, in the battle of the pipelines.
