Towable Excavators — common questions
What is a towable excavator?
A towable excavator is a small excavator mounted on a tow-behind chassis. You move it with a suitable vehicle, lower the outriggers on site, and operate the boom and bucket for light digging and property work.
Do I need a CDL to tow one?
Towing requirements depend on combined vehicle weight, hitch class, brake equipment and local law. Always verify your vehicle, route and regional rules before towing.
Towable vs tracked mini excavator — which should I buy?
A towable saves the cost of a dedicated trailer and is easier to move between many small remote jobs. A tracked mini gives more digging force and faster on-site mobility for a single longer project. Many owners run both.
How deep can a towable excavator dig?
The SPIDER ONE is designed for a digging depth of 7.0 feet using a standard 12-inch digging bucket. Confirm your required digging depth and soil conditions with the engineering team for best performance.
