- you want one that is the bigger machine by 888kg
A compact mini excavator sized for tight gardens, drainage runs and small groundworks jobs rather than large site cuts. Its sub-3-tonne operating weight lets it travel on a plant trailer behind a car-derived van, which is why small tool and plant hire firms keep one alongside larger diggers.

Buy or hire the 8018 CTS if...
A very compact machine for groundworkers and landscapers working in domestic gardens, narrow access sites and occasionally indoors. The small footprint is the whole selling point over a 2 to 3 tonne machine, and it is what decides whether the job is possible at all.
