Compact excavator, sometimes also referred as mini excavator is an
important engineering vehicle which is designed to be productive in the
tightest space. Mounted on wheels or track this excavator is highly
productive in small civil engineering projects. Number of attachments in
this machine has made it as one of the most versatile machinery in the
construction industry.
Mechanical Operations
The important components of the compact excavator are cab,
