Tackle small-scale digging jobs with rentmas’ selection of mini excavator rentals. Weighing up to 6 metric tons, these versatile machines are smaller than the standard excavator, making them especially suitable for projects where space is limited. These machines offer the necessary power and precision to tackle landscaping, construction, or demolition projects of almost any scale.

Is a mini excavator the right machine for my project?

A mini excavator is a small excavator that typically runs on rubber tracks. The difference between micro, mini, midi and tracked excavators is exclusively defined by their size: these machines are categorized according to their weight. Mini excavators on the rentmas platform are characterized as small excavators weighing up to 6 tons.

Excavators over 6 tons can be found in the crawler excavator and mobile excavator categories.

Make sure to choose the machine you need based on the conditions of your project site. Mini excavators are compact and maneuverable and allow operators to use them practically anywhere that large excavators can’t access. Due to their low weight, these machines also exert low ground pressure.

Mini excavators can be fitted with a range of attachments that make a wide variety of tasks possible. That said, the attachment typically included in your rental as a default is a standard excavation bucket.

Other common accessories include:

Ditch cleaning / grading buckets: For grading
Rake riddle bucket: For surface-level vegetation removal and separation
Hydraulic hammer: For demolition work
Earth drilling equipment: For drilling and boring holes
Universal grapple: For moving stones and vegetation
