Our excavators are comfortable to operate – all digging functions are controlled with 2 low effort control levers. Tracks are controlled with 2 levers on the floor. All, except the smallest, have enclosed cabs with heaters window wipers and a radio. The machines all have mechanical or hydraulic thumb clamps for picking up and placing larger objects or bulk materials such as rocks, stumps and wood waste with greater ease.

One wider bucket with no teeth - for final grading and bulk material handling.

Mini-excavators have become one of the standard pieces of equipment on almost all earthmoving land development sites and residential property projects. The machines ability to manoeuvre in tight areas combined with low ground pressure weights make mini-excavators an excellent choice for projects where hand labour is to slow or costly. They are typically used for small excavations, yard levelling, brush and scrub removal, preparation for driveways, wood and rock retaining walls, trenching and drainage. They can also spread sand, gravel or topsoil with the front dozer blades. Many acreage owners find them useful for maintaining fence lines and building nature trails and walking paths on their properties. The rubber tracks eliminate any damage to existing concrete sidewalks, curbs or driveways.

The Yanmar track dumpers are a highly effective machine to get material into backyards or between building or through narrow trails as they are only 3 1/2 feet wide. These track dumpers are diesel powered ride on machines that carry loads up to 2000 lbs of dirt, rock, sand, or topsoil over most any type of ground whether pavement, soft ground or even mud. With their extremely low ground pressures and small footprint they typically move a dump truck load of material in an hour or less, from a front roadway to a back yard, making them cheaper to operate than hand labouring with wheel barrows. With their soft footprint and speeds up to 5km/hr the dumpers are a very economical yet productive way to move materials.
