Municipal work

Pavements, drainage, street works and utility trenches inside a city.

Why a wheeled excavator

Municipal work

Municipal contracts favour machines that can move quickly between small sites without transport. Wheeled excavators keep road speed, while a compact radius keeps the working envelope inside the site.

Sizes to look for: 6–8 t for lane and pavement work; 13–16 t for drainage and general municipal contracts.
