  • 6. Frequently Asked Questions

    • Which mini excavator for a garden?
      For a garden, opt for a mini excavator weighing 800 to 1300kg (HT08, HT10, HT13). Compact, it can pass through gates and protects your ground.

    • Fixed or telescopic chassis?
      A telescopic chassis offers more versatility (narrow passages + stability) but costs more. If you frequently encounter narrow passages, it's an excellent investment.

    • Do I need a closed cabin?
      For intensive professional use or in all weather conditions, yes. For occasional summer use, an open cabin is sufficient.
