Add effortless precision and control to your digging operations with our hydraulic thumb attachment. This feature gives you superior gripping power for tasks like demolition, landscaping and handling debris. Experience smooth and accurate movements, enabling you to work with confidence and efficiency.
At the heart of our excavator machines, you'll find robust 3-cylinder engines from Yanmar or Kubota. These industry-renowned brands deliver ample power for demanding excavations while offering excellent fuel economy and lower emissions. Expect smooth operation and long-term durability that reduces downtime on your job site.
Maximise your reach and manoeuvrability in tight spaces with our swing boom function. It lets you effortlessly angle the boom to dig around obstacles or alongside walls, reducing the need for constant machine repositioning. This saves you time, avoids site disturbance and extends the lifespan of your excavator.
Navigate tight spaces and easily tackle uneven terrain thanks to our expandable track widths. Narrow your excavator's footprint for manoeuvring through tight spots, then widen the base for increased stability on slopes and rough ground. This adaptability means less time getting stuck and more time getting the job done.
Expand the capabilities of your mini excavator with our diverse selection of attachments. Outfit your machine to tackle trenching, demolition, material handling and more. Our attachments are engineered for seamless compatibility — allowing for easy switching and efficient operation on the job site.

Mini excavators excel in a wide range of landscaping, construction and agricultural tasks where space is limited. They're ideal for digging trenches, foundations and pools, as well as demolition, grading and material handling. Their compact size and manoeuvrability make them perfect for working in tight spaces, around existing structures or on uneven terrain.
Selecting the right mini excavator depends on the scope of your projects. Consider the depth you need to dig, the weight of materials you'll be lifting and the workspace you have available. Achilles offers a range of excavator sizes in New Zealand, including popular 1.5T excavators and 1.8T excavators.
For smaller jobs like landscaping, trenching for utilities or working in very confined areas, a 1.5T excavator or smaller may be ideal. These machines offer excellent control and lighter ground pressure. If your projects involve deeper digging, heavier loads or slightly more workroom, stepping up to a 1.8T excavator provides additional power and reach.

Like any piece of machinery, excavators require regular upkeep to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Key maintenance tasks include regular checks of fluid levels, greasing moving parts, inspecting the undercarriage and tracks and adhering to the recommended service schedule.
In most parts of New Zealand, you don't need a specific licence to operate a mini excavator. However, some states may recommend or require relevant training courses or certifications for workplace safety purposes. It's always best to check with your local authorities or workplace safety organisation for the most up-to-date requirements in your area.
