Mobile excavators up to 10 tons for greater jobsite efficiency

Mobile excavators up to 10 metric tons are a cost-effective solution on many construction sites when flexibility, mobility, and versatility are required. Thanks to their travel speed and the ability to use a wide variety of attachments, they are suitable for applications in civil engineering, road construction, gardening and landscaping, municipal services, and forestry.

What makes a good mobile excavator?

The performance of a mobile excavator is not determined solely by engine power or hydraulics. For professional users, various factors that directly impact productivity and cost-effectiveness are important.
 

Among the most important features are:
 

  • High hydraulic power for attachments
  • Good all-around visibility
  • High travel speed
  • Ergonomic operator’s station
  • Intuitive operation
  • High stability
  • Modern assistance systems
  • Digital interfaces for connected construction sites

The EW100 from Wacker Neuson combines these features in a single machine and was specifically developed for professional construction applications.

Why do companies choose mobile excavators?

Mobile excavators are used wherever flexibility and mobility are required. Compared to track excavators, they can often move between job sites without additional transport and are particularly in demand in road construction, civil engineering, municipal applications, and gardening and landscaping.
 

Typical advantages of mobile excavators include

  • High mobility between job sites—with speeds of up to 40 km/h in road mode
     
  • Reduced transportation requirements thanks to trailer operation and the ability to drive independently between job sites
     
  • Flexible application options
     
  • Cost-effective operation with frequent site changes
     
  • Quick response times for last-minute assignments
     

For the user, this means: faster transitions between job sites, reduced logistical effort, and high machine utilization throughout the entire workday.
