Discover why now may be the right time to buy a compact excavator — plus gain expert tips on how to keep your present machines jobsite ready — by downloading the new 2021 Equipment World Compact Equipment Guide. 

Experts tell us that today’s machines are more capable than previous models in the same size class. For example, today’s 6- to 8-ton models can do work that would have required 12- or even 14-ton machines not long ago.

Our experts also advise contractors to spec an excavator with 25% more dig depth than what you think you’ll need. This will increase the other key specs to provide enough machine to allow room for your business to grow.
