Mini (compact) excavators are small hydraulic excavators designed for tight, sensitive job sites. They offer tracked or wheeled undercarriages, modern diesel or electric powertrains, advanced hydraulics, and a wide range of attachments for landscaping, trenching, demolition, and utility work.
Modern attachments turn backhoes into multi-purpose machines - breaking, drilling, grappling, and milling - reducing fleet needs while increasing jobsite flexibility and safety requirements.
Backhoe buckets have become specialized attachments - trenching, grading, rock and compacting tools - that let one machine replace multiple pieces of equipment and work in tougher conditions, shifting priorities toward skilled operators and proper tooling.
The backhoe loader pairs a rear excavator arm with a front loader bucket, offering versatile, road-mobile capability for excavation and material handling. Modern machines add quick-coupler attachments, emissions-compliant engines, telematics, and improved operator ergonomics, making them a cost-effective choice for many contractors.
Kubota backhoes - available as backhoe loaders, compact excavators, and tractor attachments - stay relevant through modular attachments, compact footprints, and serviceable designs that let crews handle trenching, demolition, earthmoving, and landscaping with fewer machines.
Caterpillar excavators and backhoes stay central to construction by combining modular attachments, digital tools, and robust design to handle digging, loading, demolition, and more.
