5 Factors Affecting the Price of Mini Excavator
- Tonnage size
The larger the tonnage, the wider the carrying capacity and scope of application of the machine, the price is naturally higher. For example, a 0.8-ton micro mini excavator is suitable for home or garden work, while a 3.5-ton machine is suitable for municipal or small-scale construction projects. - Engine brand and emission standard
Equipped with international brand engine such as Changchai, Yanmar, Kohler, etc., the price will be higher; the engine that meets Euro V or EPA emission standard is suitable for European and American market, which will also raise the cost. - Hydraulic system performance
The quality of hydraulic system directly affects the working efficiency and stability. High-end mini hydraulic excavator is equipped with imported hydraulic pumps and multi-way valves, so the price is naturally higher. - Track material
Rubber tracks are more suitable for city roads, while steel tracks are more suitable for mountains and heavy loads. High quality mini crawler excavator track system is slightly higher in price but more durable. - Additional features and customization
such as driving shed, hydraulic quick-change interface, multi-functional configurations such as attached crushing hammer, wood grabber, etc. will also affect the selling price of the whole machine.
