Fine Equipments Mini Excavators: Spacious Cabins & Powerful Hydraulics

Fine Equipments offers a range of indigenously developed mini excavators (2-ton to 3.8-ton) designed for Indian conditions, with spacious cabins, powerful hydraulics, and easy maintenance for various construction projects.

Fine Equipments has started its mini Excavator journey with Takeuchi of Japan since 2016 for marketing its mini excavators in India. The company’s expertise as a hydraulic rock breaker manufacturer gave it a deep understanding of the working of the mini excavator in Indian conditions, such as the loads it could lift and what force it would need to exert for different jobs, and consequently, the dynamic forces that would impact the machine during its functioning. Based on these considerations, the mini excavator was designed and engineered by Fine Equipments.

The most ideal class of mini excavators is said to be in the 2 ton to the 3.5 ton. However, given the growing demand for minis and to lower the initial cost, Fine Equipments, based on the expertise gathered, started indigenizing the minis in India. It now assembles the FM 20 of 2 tons and the FM 38 of 3.8 tons, which come both in the canopy version and an air-conditioned cabin.

“Many rental companies in India deploy a lesser capacity excavator for a job which it may not be suitable for. We have seen this when working with a hydraulic rock breaker, which can create a return vibration during its operation and thereby cause stress on the hydraulics or the parts, which consequently leads to chances of equipment failure. Ideally, a 3-ton machine, indexed to the work it has been assigned with the rated power, will be able to do light or heavy tasks more efficiently,” says Rajnikant, Head-Marketing, Fine Equipments.

He informs that Fine’s mini excavators have a spacious operator cabin, automotive style interiors, and a powerful hydraulic system. They have pre-fitted, pipeline adaptation kit to fit various attachments with ease, like rock breakers, augers, and grapplers. “Our simple to operate minis with their easy maintenance, low operating costs, and a combination of superior operator comfort and precise control are reasons why our mini excavators outperform competing machines,” avers Rajnikant.

Product support to Fine’s mini excavators is rendered by the company’s 35+ dealers, who are trained to ensure higher availability of the excavators. "We keep a close eye on upcoming projects, new government initiatives for infra development, and tenders being floated. Having a sizeable customer base pan India, also enables us to access customers, promote our mini excavators, and spread awareness on their utility,” he says.
