Contractors or lifestyle property owners looking for an affordable mini excavator will be spoilt for choice with the plethora of non-big brands on the market, mostly made in Asia such as countries like China and India.

One such company producing its own range of budget-friendly earthmoving equipment is Shandong Carter Heavy Industry Machinery, which produces the Carter brand of excavators ranging from 0.7 tonnes up to 50 tonnes.

Queensland distributor, Machinery Direct, was kind enough to let us have a go in its 1.7-tonne CT16-9B excavator. Constructionsales.com.au's resident machinery expert, Evarn Covich, was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled a range of tasks, and how responsive and stable it was for a machine of its size and price point.
