The 1.7 ton excavator is a practical all-rounder for projects requiring more capability than a mini excavator while still being compact enough for residential and tight-access environments.

This machine is commonly hired by builders, plumbers, landscapers, electricians, contractors, and homeowners tackling medium-scale excavation works. Its added digging power and improved reach make it ideal for more demanding jobs such as trenching for plumbing or electrical services, levelling uneven ground, preparing foundations, removing soil, and landscaping transformations.

Despite its increased power, the 1.7 ton excavator remains highly manoeuvrable, allowing operators to work efficiently in driveways, backyards, side access areas, and compact construction sites.

Suitable for:

• trenching and drainage
• retaining wall preparation
• landscaping excavation
• site cuts and levelling
• post holes and footing preparation
• small demolition works
