A mini digger is also referred to as a mini-excavator and is similar to a standard excavator, except it quite literally is just a bit smaller. They come in the option of tracked or wheeled and weigh up to 20,000 pounds. An excavator which weighs more than this is often considered as just a standard excavator and this is what it is referred to as.
Moreover, some consider that cutoff to be considerably lower at around the mark of around 10,000 pounds. A mini excavator's bucket size comes between 12 and 24 inches. Mini diggers are also ideal for products that require lifting and shifting, this is so you can also use some optional attachments giving you more flexibility with regard to your groundworks.
