Diesel wheeled excavator (13T) FAQs

How do I drive an excavator?

Excavators can be surprisingly easy to operate yourself. 

Read our guide ‘how to operate a mini digger’ for tips on how to feel confident.

How deep can a mini excavator dig?

Depending on the size of the excavator, they can dig depths from up to 1.7m to 6.7m. 

Always check the specifications of the excavator that you’re hiring to ensure the machine you receive can reach the depths that you need it to. 

What is the difference between wheeled and tracked diggers?

Wheeled diggers are faster on hard surfaces and in urban areas where you may need to travel over roads or pavement, while tracked machines are better for soft or uneven ground. Read our guide, tracked vs wheeled excavators.
