Home Built Digger Backhoe Excavator Starting a dig.

June 8th, 2010


A while ago I wanted to design and build my own Mini Excavator. I had many requirements before I started going through the design process. Firstly was the size, it needed to be small enough to fit through a single doorway andlight enough to be lifted into the back of a large estate car or MPV People carrier. I wanted to keep away from petrol power due to the crazy rising costs of fuel and I wanted the machine to be able to run in enclosed spaces or even indoors. I also wanted it to be much more quiet than most machines that use a engine. The machine needed to also be able to run for long periods to be able complete the job. When doing the research before setting about designing and building the machine I found out that 99% of all excavators are either petrol or diesel powered. With the engine powered machines you cant run them indoors or in enclosed areas without proper exhaust extraction. The only electric machines that are available run from a 3-phase power supply making them costly and difficult to find a suitable power source. Having a battery-powered machine was soon ruled out due to the size and weight of the batteries needed to provide enough power. Here is the result. 240-volt mains powered super micro mini excavator. This machine only is 600mm wide and only 1000mm long excluding the arm so its small enough to fit through even the smallest doorway. It also only weighs approx. 100kg so 2 people can easily lift the machine into the boot of a large estate car, mpv

    Bom dia turma, realmente possuir um carro é trabalhoso devido ao altos custos de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem dão valor ao contrato feito ou tem escondidas em letras ilegíveis condições que dão prejuízo ao adquirinte do carro. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não protege todas as clausúlas do comprador. Estava lendo umas conselhos no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça depois. Foi mal, realmente está difícil fazer boas compras.

    There are some interesting points in that clause but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will hold legal opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner besides.
