Height Restrictions: |
9 times
out of 10 - your job will have a restriction of some sort
such as width or height. Once you work out what the
width will be, see our
guide for
optimal size of machine. |
|
Help with Small Spaces: |
You need
to check what restrictions you may have carefully – remember
if the ground is not level where you need to get a machine
through a gap, it will tilt to one side. |
|
Obstructions: |
You need
to check for underground obstructions. |
|
Machine Sizes: |
It is
usually best to try to get the biggest machine in that you
can. |
|
Boom Offsets: |
All our
excavators except the 13 tonne have boom offset which will
fold the boom up to 90 degrees left and 60 to the right -
this reduces the slew radius in diameter. It also
allows parallel digging with fences and walls. |
|
Zero Tail Swing: |
Look for
our zero tail swing machines when working next to walls - no
part of the machines tail can swing into anything. |
|
Track Type: |
Consider
track type - rubber wont mark mono block or paving but
steels will. |
|
Track Grip: |
Steels
will grip better in soft or wet ground than rubber tracks. |
|
Hammers and Accessories: |
All
machines are piped for hammer and accessories - do you have
a floor to break out or a wall to knock down? |
