Power and precision in every dig
Cat mini excavators deliver exceptional performance in a compact, versatile design.
On any site, they move and grade earth with ease thanks to powerful and precise lifting, swinging, and multi-functioning capabilities, while user-friendly, customizable controls make things simpler for every task.
Sealed, pressurised cabs are also a popular feature of the Cat mini diggers. When you close the door, the dust, dirt and smells - kicked up while you dig - are prevented from invading the cab to keep your working environment clean, clear and comfortable all day long.
Whether you're tackling a landscaping project or a small construction job, these compact excavators offer the performance and versatility you need to get the work done with ease.

Operator usability
You notice the familiarity with the controls. You can jump in one, jump in another and they're all the same, so it's all really handy and intuitive. Just found Cat Compacts to be great machines.
