Compact Excavator Becoming A New Fashion

Makers of compact excavators and other diesel-powered equipment have had to place considerable emphasis on emissions regulations known as Tier 4, which have been gradually phased in over the past several years. It's all coming to a head in 2015, so you'll be hearing more and more about machines that are "Tier 4 Final" and ready to go. 

But many manufacturers have also taken the opportunity to not only introduce excavators that meet the Tier 4 requirements, but also offer gains in the way of productivity, safety, operator comfort and operating cost. Such as: 

Caterpillar's 303E CR mini hydraulic excavator 

Komatsu PC228USLC-8 hydraulic excavator 

Hitachi’s ZX35U-5,ZX50U-5 and ZX60USB-5 compact excavator
