Can't Find the Right 12000 lb mini Excavator?
You’re not the only one.
Most 5 ton excavators either fall short on power or feel oversized for the tight jobs you got them for in the first place.
Some don’t even provide the breakout force you need or are so hard to control you might as well have stuck with the bigger machine you had in the first place.
Not to mention the lead times, rental headaches, or demo restrictions.
Finding the right balance of muscle, maneuverability, and real-world reliability isn’t supposed to be that hard.
Especially when you’ve got deadlines coming up and crews are getting paid to stand around while you find the right machine to get the job done.
