Understanding Small Excavators

Every revolution in our history has driven mankind towards betterment. From computers, automobiles, smartphones, and diesel engines to Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the discovery of all such inventions, humanity has steered towards more knowledge, more inventions, more wonders and more discoveries. With the optimum utilization of our inventions, we have paved the way for a better quality of life. Over the decades we have been updating these inventions to overcome operational challenges. And such a modification of a heavy-duty excavator led to the invention of modern mini excavators diesel engines.

Mini Excavators

As the name suggests, a mini excavator is a compact version of the original excavator. These compact machines are designed to perform moderate construction and landscaping operations. You will find these machines in action in tight spaces where a standard excavator fails, because of its size. But, what are the other reasons that have led to the rise in the demand for these compact and powerful machines?

Compact Spaces

As the graph of the construction rules to an upper curve globally, so do the operational landscapes. The margin of engaging a construction operation on wide and open landscapes is very low. That is where mini excavators come into play. They can reach the site, even from the busiest roots without disturbing the locals.

Minimum Weight

The compact size of mini excavators also shows a positive declination in their weight compared to standard large excavators. A reduction in weight allows the operator to perform with the highest accuracy and reduces top-ground damage and track marks.

More Fuel Efficient

A mini excavator will naturally consume less fuel when compared with other industry giant equipment. An operator can regulate the rpm of the excavator and perform every activity efficiently as most compact excavators function optimally on reduced engine power. This power modulation accounts for engaging optimum power according to operation needs and keeps engine performance in shape resulting in better fuel efficiency.

Improved Productivity

One of the reasons behind the invention of mini excavators was to improve productivity. A Mini excavator is so compact that it easily moves in and moves out from your front door. Additionally, this compact machine can reach from point A to point B in less time compared to other giant construction equipment.

Versatile Application

On an operational base, a mini excavator is ideal for drilling, ripping, compacting, placing and removing trees, demolishing small structures, carrying debris, installing pools and bathtubs, material handling and much more. The list of its applications is endless.

But the true power of construction equipment lies in its heart - off-highway diesel engine. A diesel engine fuels every operational activity with maximum power, minimum load and better fuel efficiency. Identical to other construction equipment a mini excavator also requires a construction equipment engine to function.

At MVDE, our team of engineers have designed an engine as compact and as powerful as the mini excavator - the MVL3E.

Mini Excavator Diesel Engine by MVDE

The three-cylinder MVL3E diesel engine is known for its impactful performance in challenging terrains. A diverse power range allows its application to multiple equipment apart from the mini excavator. But there are more benefits to it than just that.

Legacy of Power

The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - VST Diesel Engine Private Limited (MVDE) is a joint venture between Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, Japan & VST Tillers Tractors Ltd. This legacy lays the ground for powerful engineering that moves the world forward.

Durable Performance

The MVL3E off-highway diesel engine performs effortlessly in terrains demanding restless power. Its durable design and modern engineering tilt the needle to optimum performance under stressful conditions without losing power.

Compact Design

A mini excavator is incomplete without a compact off-highway diesel engine. The compact size of the MVL3E fits like a missing piece of puzzle in the mini excavator. When two such powerful machines combine the generated output results in progress.

Controlled RPM

Our MVL3E off-highway diesel engines were designed for versatile applications. This is why the power range of these engines can be raised up to 3000 rpm. This must be too much power for a mini excavator, but an operator can always manoeuvre its range depending on the operation grounds.

Fuel Efficiency

A diesel engine is obviously more fuel efficient compared to gas and fuel engines. But, the MVL3E and all other off-highway diesel engines from MVDE are designed to combust optimum power stored inside every drop of fuel engaging better performance and fuel economy.

Conclusion

At MVDE, we understand the power needs of every industry and streamlined our modern off-highway diesel engines considering it. By designing our engines with appropriate power and torque, we increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the equipment it is assembled into.

Our off-highway diesel engines are designed to be durable and discharge their optimum performance under challenging conditions.

If maintained appropriately and serviced timely, our diesel engines can deliver reliable performance consistently.

We engineer our off-highway diesel engine with a flexible power range varying from 13HP to 50HP. Additionally, they are light in weight, and compact in size making them easy to mount and manoeuvre.

So, if your construction needs fit appropriately with a mini excavator, ensure that it has an MVDE off-highway diesel engine so you can tap into the operational power you need.
