Digging capability without the full-size footprint.

Compact excavators are sized by more than operating weight. Dig depth, reach, tail swing, hydraulic flow, bucket and attachment selection, access width and transport requirements all affect productivity.

E35-size class

A popular balance of transportability, stability and everyday digging performance.

E50–E60-size class

E88-size class

Common questions

Answers before you call.

What should I compare when choosing compact excavators?

Start with required dig depth and reach, then size the machine. Measure gates, buildings and confined work areas before selecting width.

Can Shepherd's Garage help match compact excavators to attachments or implements?

Yes. Bring the heaviest routine job, required attachment or implement, hydraulic and PTO needs, access limits and transport plan so the local team can compare the complete working setup.

Are compact excavators available at every Shepherd's Garage location?

Represented products, territory and current availability can vary by location. Contact the nearest store with your work location and machine requirements for an accurate answer.
