Where not to get close to a large technique, and manual labor is inexpedient, small-scale mechanization comes to the rescue. In recent years, there has been an increased interest of buyers in this type of equipment, such as mini-excavators. These multifunctional units will help to quickly perform the tasks, not only on a large construction site. The popularity of their use for the implementation of various works on the territory of individual developers is growing steadily.
The overview rating presented below will introduce the best mini-excavators on the domestic market of construction equipment.
TOP 5 best mini excavators
5 MKSM-800
Low operational cost. Multifunctionality
A country: Russia
Average price: 2 058 000 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.2
The domestic model of a mini-excavator, produced by the Kurgan Machine-Building Plant, stands out against the background of its competitors with a more affordable price and ease of maintenance. Spare parts (in case of repair) are always available, which significantly reduces the time for repair downtime.
The multipurpose Communal Machine, with the help of the fast-mounted mounted modifications, changes its technical characteristics and can perform the functions of a snowplow, a drilling machine, a rotary blade and many other types of special equipment (there are a total of 17 mounted modules).
4 HITACHI ZX10U-2
The most compact. Adjustable track width
A country: Japan
Average price: 2,332,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6
This mechanical assistant weighs a little more than a ton and is only 1.46 meters wide. Such dimensions allow you to perform complex excavation work in places inaccessible to conventional equipment. In addition, the tail section of the mini-excavator cabin has a zero reach, and the width of the track can be adjusted by reducing the gauge from 1 meter to 90 cm, which allows you to pass through wide doorways for indoor work. Rubber tracks prevent damage to the lawn, decorative coatings, etc.
Of the minuses should be noted the lack of a cabin that can cause inconvenience when working in the open air. The only protection of the operator is a metal arc and seat belts, but this is quite enough, given the miniature size of the installation.
3 KUBOTA U25-3
Better economy
A country: Japan
Average price: 4,087,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
This model is based on modern engineering solutions in the field of small-scale mechanization and is highly reliable. Kubota U25-3 is considered one of the largest mini-excavators, with a bucket width of 50 cm. It copes well with earthworks and is able to go deeper into the ground by 2.8 meters.
With the help of additional equipment, equipment can perform other types of work, significantly expanding its functionality. The diesel engine develops sufficient power for different types of loads, while demonstrating one of the best indicators of fuel consumption among compact equipment of this class.
2 BOBCAT E32
The most comfortable. Greater functionality
A country: USA
Average price: 3 918 000 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
One of the best solutions for working in a limited space. Standard swivel boom allows you to dig a pit to a depth of three meters. The model can also be equipped with an extended (extendable) handle, but such an upgrade implies an installation and a more powerful engine, since machine weight will increase. The track is equipped with rubber tracks, which, if necessary, can be replaced with steel ones.
In work the model differs in endurance and ergonomics of management. Additional attachments significantly expands the functionality of the installation. There is also a comfortable equipment, in which the frame canopy over the workplace is replaced by a sealed cabin (with installed air conditioning and heating).
1 JCB 18Z-1
The best protection against accidental movement
A country: England
Average price: 3 445 000 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0
Products of this brand are highly reliable and able to work in harsh environments. The mini-excavator is distinguished by a large margin of safety of components and ease of maintenance. The cast counterweight runs across the entire width of the machine, and not only improves stability, but also performs protective functions.
For the convenience of transporting a mini-excavator, there are special attachment points (10 hooks all over the body). The hydraulic hoses of the bucket drive are hidden in the boom casing, which not only contributes to their reliable protection, but also improves the external characteristics of the model. The JCB 2GO system completely locks the control and does not allow the engine to start if the lever is not in the neutral position. The lock prevents the possibility of accidental movement during the activity of the manipulator, which ensures safe operation.
