Overview
The Right Size for Most Digging Jobs
Our 8000 lb mini excavator rental is the go-to size for trenching, footings, drainage and utility work. Machines in the 6,000-8,000 lb class dig deep enough for most residential and light commercial jobs while staying small enough to tow behind a heavy-duty pickup and work in tight lots.
Smaller 3,000 lb machines run out of reach and power quickly, and full-size excavators are hard to move and overkill for a house lot. The 6-8k class hits the middle: real digging depth, a stable undercarriage and a backfill blade, in a footprint that still fits between houses.
Why Choose This Mini Excavator
It is the most requested size for good reason, and we keep ours maintained so the hydraulics are strong and the tracks are tight when you pick it up. We can also set you up with the right bucket width for your trench, so you are not digging wider than you need to.
