Excavator Sizes and Typical Applications
Smaller and Tight-Access Excavators
Compact models like 0.8t and 1t micro-excavators are ideal for:

These machines typically offer:

Attachments Available
Most Diggermate excavators can be paired with practical attachments, including:
- General purpose and trenching buckets

This flexibility lets you use one machine for multiple tasks. You’ll save time and money by avoiding unnecessary machine changes.
