JCB 30PLUS
Pros
- Compact & maneuverable: Great for urban jobs and restricted sites.
- Strong bucket & arm forces: Designed to deliver efficient digging and material handling.
- Good reach: ~4.77 m reach is competitive for mini excavators.
CAT 320D
Pros
- Proven Cat C6.4 ACERT engine with solid torque and power for mid‑size excavator tasks (earthmoving, trenching, loading).
- 5.7 m boom and ~9+ m digging height help in both shallow and medium depth work.
- Caterpillar’s dealer network is extensive — spare parts availability is usually strong globally.
