8T Digger
Equipment Information
A 8T digger, also called a compact excavator, is a versatile construction machine designed for digging and excavation tasks. This small powerhouse has a compact chassis, either steel tracked or wheeled, allowing it to easily navigate tight spaces. The size and weight of the compact excavator can vary depending on the model hired. All have a maximum digging depth of between one and six meters.
Despite its smaller size, this mini digger is powerful, thanks to its diesel engine, which operates its hydraulic systems efficiently. It can be hired alongside various excavation attachments for digging, grading, and trenching, including buckets and a breaker attachment. Its mobility on different terrains, whether tracked or wheeled, makes it suitable for demolition, material handling, landscaping, site preparation, and utility installation.
The operator stays safe and comfortable in an enclosed, climate-controlled cab while controlling the hydraulic arm and attachments using joysticks and pedals. Safety is a top priority, with protective structures like ROPS and FOPS often included to protect the operator in case of accidents. The 8T digger is a versatile piece of equipment, perfect for handling diverse construction tasks, while being easy to manoeuvre across different job sites.
