Micro excavators and small excavators are mechanical equipment that have been widely used in many fields such as construction, agriculture, logistics and transportation, and mining in recent years. Although they also have strong excavation and flipping capabilities, there are obvious differences in price. So, how big is the difference between the price of a micro excavator and the price of a small excavator? Let's take a look.
Generally speaking, a micro excavator is a type of small excavator with a small working capacity and scale, suitable for small earthwork projects, greening projects, urban roads and other small construction projects. Small excavators are more focused on a variety of application scenarios, such as construction, drainage, electricity, mining, agriculture, roads and other fields, and can usually meet the needs of projects between 5-10 tons.
In terms of price, the price of a micro excavator is usually less than 100,000 yuan, while the price of a small excavator starts at 200,000 yuan. The price difference is mainly caused by the following factors:
1. Working performance and scope of application: Considering its small scale and work intensity, the micro excavator does not require a high-horsepower power system and a large-volume oil cylinder. Therefore, its overall structure and components are not required to be high, which leads to its certain advantages in price. Since small excavators can meet the needs of more complex construction sites and larger-scale projects, they require high-power engines, more powerful hydraulic systems, higher-performance steel quality, more complex control systems, etc., and their production costs are higher.
2. The maintenance and servicing costs of micro excavators are lower, while small excavators need to be maintained and repaired more frequently, and their costs are more expensive.
3. Brand and quality: There are also differences in prices between micro excavators and small excavators of different brands. In the market, some well-known brands are often considered to be representatives of excellent quality and stable performance. Such representatives are often relatively high in price, while some low-end brands are much cheaper in price.
In general, there is a certain price difference between micro excavators and small excavators. Among them, micro excavators are relatively cheap and suitable for small-scale sites. Small excavators are more expensive and more suitable for large-scale construction projects. Their performance, scope of application, service life and maintenance costs are the main reasons for this price difference. Therefore, when choosing to buy, we need to make reasonable choices based on our actual needs and budget to ensure that they can better adapt to actual work needs and bring us a more efficient and convenient work experience.
