The benefits of micro excavator hire in East Anglia
At Mervyn Lambert, we have a great many excavators to hire and purchase. Micro, Mini, Midi, Standard, Long-Reach, wheeled and tracked. We’re going to talk about the micro excavators in this blog post, so you can decide if our Bobcat E10 Micro Excavator can fulfil the needs of your project.
Versatility and ease of use
Micro Excavator hire is popular for several reasons – they’re extremely versatile and can be used with different attachments to complete a number of jobs. They’re also easy to use – the controls can be learned quickly by almost anyone, even if you have no digger experience. Of course, you’ll get instruction, or you can have operated hire if you so wish.
Oh, so quiet…
Ok, so they’re not silent, but compared to their bigger cousins, micro excavators put out considerably fewer decibels. This is obviously advantageous to the operator and other people on-site but is also a big benefit when you’re working in built-up or residential areas as you’re likely to get far less on-site complaints about noise pollution.
They cause less damage
The Bobcat weighs just 1176kg so is much lighter than larger machines. This means it causes a lot less damage to the worksite, and the rubber tracks help too. Also, because of the small footprint, large areas won’t need to be cleared so you can work.
Functionality
They’re very functional. You can use attachments as mentioned earlier, and you can get into places a digger couldn’t. With a retracted track width of just 28 inches, the ultra-compact Bobcat E10 can access job sites where the only other option would be time-consuming hand labour. The Bobcat can easily navigate through narrow openings and operate in tighter conditions than a larger machine, and zero tail swing allows you to slew and deposit spoil while offering the most protection against any obstacles on the worksite. Other benefits Moving a micro excavator is simple as no big low loaders are needed. Instead, you’ll be able to tow your micro excavator behind a car or 4x4 quite easily. And, of course, they’re cheaper to hire, more economical to run, yet still powerful enough for a lot of jobs.
