When it comes to earthworks or excavation, the excavator is more often than not the preferred heavy machine based on statistics derived from companies that offer construction equipment such as mini excavators for hire. As most of those reading this article would probably already be aware of the fact that among the range of excavators (in terms of weight 10-ton excavators are robust, versatile machines suitable for moderate to heavy-duty excavation tasks, often used in urban construction, utility work, and landscaping due to their manoeuvrability and as well as their versatility.
The 10T excavator range are among the fastest moving excavator category within the excavator for hire segment simply because, this particular category of excavators offers the perfect balance within the elements of power, mobility, and efficiency. The facts that these machines are capable of digging to significant depths and own reach levels that are comparable to standard excavators and further than smaller excavators make them the preferred class of excavators when contractors move to take excavators for hire.
The power and reach of 10-ton excavators are generally capable of digging to depths of 4 to 6 meters easily and have ‘extended’ reach of up to about 8 meters which make these particular machines suitable for a wide variety of project workloads. Apart from the power and reach, manoeuvrability is another key element that makes 10T excavators favourable for urban environments where projects are straddled with issues related to working space due to the smaller frame of these machines.
Another factor that has resulted in the 10T excavator class being the preferred excavator for hire within the heavy machine rental sphere is the versatility offered by 10T excavators. Most 10T excavator models come with the hydraulic coupling feature that allows these machines to be equipped with a wide range of hydraulic attachments apart from the standard bucket, such hydraulic hammers, grapplers and augers which allows a single machine to manage a diverse range of tasks.
The smaller size of these machines also support fuel efficiency and coupled with the advanced hydraulic systems and fuel-efficient engines, 10T excavators offer significantly higher ROIs (Return on Investments) compared to other excavator classes. The size of the 10T excavator class also allows room for bigger cabs which is crucial towards operator comfort which in turn enhance productivity substantially.
The latest 10T excavator models that are available for hire feature significantly upgraded cabs compared with even larger excavator models with easy-to-use controls and large display screen and state of the art technological features such as grade assist, GPS and load sensors. All these elements when factored together render the 10T excavator as the best option for projects in urban environments, utility work, small to medium sized landscaping projects and even for demolition and home improvement projects in some instances.
Last, but not least the cost of transporting 10T excavators from one project site to another is also much lower compared to standard excavators and can be managed easily and transported as quickly as mini excavators.
