Who Looks for Excavators

Site-work contractors in Aurora and the eastern suburbs dig for utilities, streets and pads. Foundation crews in central Denver handle basements and underground garages, and landscape or irrigation firms use compact units. Demolition outfits and small owner-operators buy used machines to rent out on slow weeks.

Picking a Class

Minis fit narrow lots and basements. Mid-size crawlers are the workhorse for trenches, footings and roads. Heavier models handle bulk dirt, and a wheeled machine saves a trailer if your jobs are near one another.

Clay, Frost and Attachments

Expansive clay sticks to buckets, so a smooth ditching bucket and a bolt-on cutting edge are practical. Frozen ground argues for hydraulic lines that run a breaker, and a quick coupler makes switching tools fast. Choose operating weight to suit the work, because oversize iron costs more to haul over hills.

Inspecting a Used Excavator from the Front Range

Compare the hour meter with wear on pins, bushings, teeth and tracks. Check swing bearing play and cylinder seals, and look at the undercarriage for corrosion from road salt and snowmelt. Machines that spent winters outside can have tired batteries, glow plugs and heater hoses. Read the service log and see it dig and swing under load. Anyone who needs it for one job could price excavator rental in Denver first.

Closing a Deal

Ask for a bill of sale with serial and engine numbers and a statement about any loan. Ask that sales tax appear on its own line. The Denver buying hub lists other machines.
