Small mini excavators, a type of engineering machinery widely used in urban construction, farmland water conservancy, road construction and other fields, are favored for their small size and flexible operation.
However, for many friends who are new to or about to buy a small excavator, "how much does a small excavator cost" is undoubtedly the most concerned issue.
Today, let's discuss this issue in detail and give some practical purchase suggestions.
The prices of small excavators on the market vary greatly, mainly affected by factors such as brand, model, configuration, performance, newness and oldness, and market supply and demand.
The price of a new small excavator is relatively high. Due to the large number of small excavator models and large differences in configuration, it is difficult to give a unified price, but it ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example, some small Caterpillar excavators with basic configurations may be around 20,000-50,000 US dollars, and models with higher configurations and more powerful functions will be more expensive.
The price of a second-hand Komatsu mini excavator varies greatly, depending on factors such as age, hours worked, and overall condition, and may be around $1,500 to $11,000. For example, a long-term, average-condition excavator may only cost around $1,500, while a short-term, good-condition excavator may cost more than $5,000.
A brand-new mini Komatsu excavator may cost around $8,000 to $80,000, depending on the model and configuration.

Generally speaking, the heavier the mini excavator, the more complex its structure, the more materials it uses, the higher the manufacturing cost, and the more expensive it will be. The more powerful the mini excavator, the higher the design and manufacturing requirements of its hydraulic system, structural parts, etc., and the more expensive it will be.
The engine is the core power component of small excavators, and its brand, power, performance, etc. have a great impact on the price. Imported brand engines are usually of better quality and performance, but the price is higher. For example, small excavators using imported engines such as Kubota and Yanmar will be more expensive than similar products using domestic engines; the greater the engine power, the stronger the power, and the higher the price.
Small excavators of well-known brands are usually more guaranteed in terms of quality, performance, after-sales service, etc., so the price will be relatively high. For example, small excavators of internationally renowned brands such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Hitachi have a higher brand premium; while some domestic emerging brands or less well-known brands may have relatively low prices in order to open up the market.
