Frequently asked questions
How do I compare Chinese mini excavators?
Filter by weight, power (HP), tonnage, engine brand or equipment, then pin 2 to 4 models to see them side by side on the same criteria. Every field is filled in identically for all brands, for a neutral comparison.
How much does a Chinese mini excavator cost?
Prices aren't shown on machines-direct: each configuration is quoted by the brand's accredited rep, on direct factory purchase, on the collective's negotiated terms. Configure the model you want, send your request, and get your best price with no middleman — plus the collective's 12 extra months of warranty.
Which Chinese mini excavator should I choose for the job?
A 1 to 1.8 t micro excavator fits anywhere (gates, narrow paths) and is enough for gardens, light earthworks and confined-space work. 2 to 3 t models are more versatile for earthworks, drainage and renovation. The comparator lets you sort by weight, tonnage and power to find the right size.
