1.7T1.7T Mini Excavator
The machine to ask for when access is the constraint rather than the digging. Zero tail swing lets it work against a boundary without fouling the neighbour’s fence, and it clears most standard side gates.

2.5T2.5T Mini Excavator
If you are not sure which size the job needs, it is usually this one. Enough reach and breakout force for driveways, footings and drainage runs, while still small enough to work comfortably on a suburban block.

3.5T3.5T Excavator
Where you go when the 2.5 is working too hard for the job. Noticeably more reach and breakout force, plus a heavier blade, which tells on bulk cuts and anything with rock through it.
