    Frequently Asked Questions

    A: Compact or mini excavators are built for digging in confined jobsites. Most models feature a hydraulic-powered arm attached to a track-mounted chassis.

    Construction, landscaping and farm & orchard professionals rely on mini excavators to work where larger machines can’t fit. They can maneuver between buildings and around obstacles with minimal or zero tail swing, giving them an advantage over large excavators.

    A: ACE compact (mini) excavators range in operating weights:

    The smallest ACE mini excavator model, the CX10T, weighs 1020 kgs.

    The heaviest ACE mini excavator, the CX36, weighs 3800 kgs.

    Additional factors that affect compact excavator weight:

    • Attachments for your excavator can add hundreds of kilo grams.
    • Steel tracks increase weight compared to rubber tracks.
    • Other features like enclosed cabs or add-on counterweights also contribute to overall weight.
