Mini Excavators (1-3 Ton Class)

Mini excavators are the gateway machine for backyard projects, gate access work, indoor demolition, and any job where a compact footprint matters more than maximum digging power.

Common Excavator Applications in New Hampshire

NorthPoint excavator rentals support a wide range of project types across NH. Below are the most common applications, with the recommended machine size for each. Every project is different - call (603) 499-7926 to discuss your specific dig depth, soil type, and site access.

Septic System Installation

Excavating tank pits, leach field trenches, and connection runs. NH's clay-and-rock soil mix typically requires hydraulic muscle in the 4-7 ton range.

Recommended: Kubota U35 to U55

Foundation Excavation

Digging footings, basement walls, frost wall trenches. Match excavator size to foundation depth and soil conditions. NH frost depth runs 48 inches minimum per state code.

Recommended: Kubota U48 to KX080

Utility Trenching

Water service (54 inches per NH plumbing code Env-Ws 310), electrical (36 inches primary per NEC 300.5), gas, telecom, and drainage. Narrow buckets reduce backfill volume.

Recommended: Bobcat E20 to Kubota U48

Pool Excavation

In-ground pool digging, equipment pad prep, retaining wall trenches. Tilt bucket attachment helps with sloped contour work around the pool perimeter.

Recommended: Kubota U48 to KX080

Drainage and French Drains

Yard drainage, foundation perimeter drains, roadway swales. Perforated pipe placement and stone bedding work for residential and commercial properties.

Recommended: Bobcat E20 to Kubota U35

Demolition

Building demolition, concrete slab removal, structural teardown. Hydraulic hammer attachment turns the excavator into a powered demolition tool.

Recommended: Kubota U48 to CAT 336EL with hammer

Driveway and Site Grading

New driveway construction, regrading existing driveways, drainage correction. Tilt and grading buckets enable precision finish work.

Recommended: Kubota U35 to U48

Rock and Ledge Removal

NH soil is famous for ledge. The Gorilla GX155 10,000 lb rock hammer paired with the CAT 336EL handles serious rock breaking. Smaller projects use the HP1000 hammer.

Recommended: CAT 336EL with Gorilla GX155
