Frequently asked questions

How much does a Chinese mini excavator cost?

Our mini excavators start around $2,500 USD ex-works for a 1-tonne model and rise with tonnage (up to 6 t). The negotiated group price is provided on request after configuration.

Which mini excavator should I choose for a garden or small jobs?

A 1 to 1.8 t mini digger fits anywhere (gates, narrow paths) and is enough for gardens, light earthworks, renovations and confined-space work.

Are Powston mini excavators warranted and compliant in Europe?

Yes: a 2-year warranty negotiated for the group, plus CE, ISO, EPA and Euro 5 certifications.

How do I buy a new mini excavator direct from China?

You configure your machine and we forward your request to the Powston sales rep. You buy direct, with no middleman, on the group's negotiated terms and with international shipping.

What is the difference between a mini excavator and an excavator?

We call it a mini excavator (or mini digger, compact excavator) below about 6 tonnes; above that it is an excavator. Our range covers 1 to 6 t.
