Midi Excavators at BTE

Midi excavators range between 8 tonnes and 14 tonnes , offering the ideal balance of compact dimensions and high digging power. They are perfect for contractors, developers, and hire companies needing a machine that can work confidently on housebuilding, utilities, groundworks, and infrastructure projects.

Kubota’s midi range is designed with the operator in mind. Their 8.5-tonne excavator delivers excellent stability, reach, and lifting capacity, making it suitable for demanding jobs where smaller machines would struggle. Looking ahead, Kubota will soon launch their brand-new 14-tonne excavator, giving contractors even more choice when it comes to productivity and site performance.

By choosing BTE Plant Sales, you get more than just a machine. We provide competitive pricing, flexible finance options, and nationwide aftersales support, including genuine Kubota parts, mobile engineers, and service contracts to keep your excavator running at peak performance.

Whether you’re upgrading your fleet, moving away from hire, or purchasing your first excavator, our team of product specialists can help you find the right midi machine for your requirements.
