Mini excavators are used for digging, trenching, grading, and demolition in confined areas where a full-size excavator cannot operate. Common tasks include digging for foundations or pools, utility trenching, breaking up concrete patios, and landscaping.

They are typically categorized by their operating weight in metric tons. Common sizes range from under 1 ton to around 8 tons. The size you need depends on your project's dig depth and lifting requirements. A 1.5 to 3.5-ton model is often sufficient for most small to medium jobs.

Zero-tail swing means the excavator's housing (the main body) does not extend beyond its tracks when it rotates. This is a critical feature for working in extremely tight spaces, next to walls, or in-between buildings, as it prevents the operator from accidentally hitting an obstacle with the rear of the machine.

The most common attachment is a standard digging bucket. You can also rent specialized attachments like hydraulic breakers (for demolition), augers (for drilling holes), grapples (for clearing debris), and different sized buckets for trenching or grading.

While a specific state license is not typically required for private use, all commercial use falls under OSHA regulations, which require employers to ensure operators are competent and trained. Rental companies will provide a basic orientation on the machine's controls and safety features.
