mini digger
Compact construction excavator
A mini digger is a compact excavator small enough for residential construction, landscaping, and confined spaces where full-sized equipment won't fit.
Also called a mini excavator.
These machines typically have a rotating cab, hydraulic arm, and bucket, operated by one person: We rented a mini digger to dig the foundation for the garden wall.
