The four categories of compact equipment covered by this reference site. Each machine type serves a distinct role on the job site.
Compact tracked excavators typically weighing 0.8–3.5 tons. Used for digging, trenching, grading, and demolition in tight spaces. Chinese-manufactured mini excavators (CNE) are grouped into platform classes by operating weight.
Compact, maneuverable loaders that steer by varying the speed of wheels or tracks on each side. Commonly used for landscaping, site prep, and material handling with a wide range of attachments.
Small front-end loaders designed for loading, carrying, and dumping loose material. Often used in agriculture, landscaping, and light construction where full-size loaders are impractical.
Compact tracked or wheeled haulers built for moving soil, gravel, and debris on job sites. Their low ground pressure and small footprint make them ideal for confined or soft-ground conditions.
