Excavator models are mainly divided into micro, small, medium and large excavators based on their weight and functions.
Micro excavator: usually weighs less than 3 tons, models such as 50, 60, 65, 75, 80, etc. These excavators are suitable for small jobs such as sewer excavation, community and municipal greening, and the working space is usually relatively small.
Small excavator: weighs between 3 tons and 15 tons, models such as 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 85, 95, 125, 135, 155, etc. These excavators are suitable for urban streets and general construction sites.
Medium excavator: weighs between 15 tons and 35 tons, models such as 200, 210, 215, 220, 240, 350, etc. These excavators are often used in mines, construction sites and large road and bridge construction sites.
Large excavators: weighing more than 35 tons, models such as 365, 375, 415, 485, 550, 600, 750, 870, 980, 1250, etc. These excavators are mainly used for large engineering projects, such as large-scale mining and infrastructure construction.
In addition, the bucket capacity of the excavator is also related to its model. For example, the bucket capacity of the excavator model 200 is about 0.8 cubic meters, and that of the model 220 is about 1.1 cubic meters.
