Classification of crawler excavators by load capacity

Crawler excavators are among construction machinery of various types. To distinguish and choose the most suitable crawler type for your project, the article below will introduce the classification of crawler excavators by load capacity. Let’s find out!

Crawler Excavators with Load Capacity from 1 to 11 Tons

The smallest type of crawler excavators, often called mini excavators, have a load capacity ranging from 1 to 11 tons. The design of this type of excavator is very compact but still convenient compared to larger models.

The most outstanding feature of this segment is the ability to move and dig easily in narrow, hard-to-access spaces.

Due to their small size, they are only suitable for light to moderate tasks. Most crawler excavators with a load capacity of 1 to 11 tons are used by companies and investors for repairing drainage systems, foundations, work inside buildings, and installing water systems.

Crawler Excavators with Load Capacity from 14 to 50 Tons

Crawler excavators with a load capacity of 14 to 50 tons fall into the mid-sized category and are the top choice for many landscaping, road and bridge construction, and residential projects.

Mid-sized excavators combine the flexibility of mini excavators with the utility functions of larger machines.

In particular, these medium machines typically have high operational stability, fewer malfunctions, and can meet diverse customer needs.

Crawler Excavators with Load Capacity from 80 to 120 Tons

 Finally, the large-sized segment includes crawler excavators with a load capacity from 80 to 120 tons, considered the standard size with the most complete features among this type of construction machinery.

Large crawler excavators are the industry standard because they can handle specialized tasks such as digging foundations for high-rise buildings, demolishing skyscrapers, and mining large stone and ore mines.

Besides their “giant” size, they have outstanding advantages such as powerful engines, efficient operation functions, and can perform difficult tasks in specialized areas.

Depending on the scale of each project, you can refer to the above classification of crawler excavators by load capacity to find the right machine for you.
