Micro Digger Width Guide: Gates, Paths, and Tight Sites

Access planning is essential when a micro digger has to pass through gates, gardens, courtyards, or narrow pathways. The correct choice depends on the full route, not only the nominal width of the machine.

Check gate and path clearance

Measure the narrowest opening and inspect posts, hinges, steps, and overhanging branches. The route should provide enough clearance for the tracks and for any bucket or attachment being transported.

Think about turning and working space

A machine may pass through an entrance but still need room to turn, lift its boom, or place spoil. Consider the tail swing, boom movement, and safe distance from walls or fences.

Plan delivery as well as operation

Confirm the trailer or delivery vehicle can reach the site, and agree on the exact digger configuration before hire. A compact model with the right attachments is often more productive than a larger machine that cannot enter safely.
