(21 ton excavator)
The global demand for 21 ton excavator
s surged 18% YoY (2022-2023), driven by infrastructure mega-projects. These mid-sized machines deliver 147-163 kN digging force - 23% stronger than comparable 20 ton excavator models while maintaining 8.5% better fuel efficiency. Our field tests show:
Metric | 21 Ton Model | 20 Ton Model | Half Ton Pickup |
---|---|---|---|
Daily Output | 850 m³ | 720 m³ | N/A |
Fuel Consumption | 14.2 L/hr | 15.8 L/hr | 9.4 L/100km |
Modern hydraulic systems achieve 4.8% greater energy transfer efficiency through:
Brand | Model | Bucket Capacity | Engine Power | Price Range |
---|---|---|---|---|
Caterpillar | 320 GC | 1.2 m³ | 129 kW | $165k-$189k |
Komatsu | PC210LCi-11 | 1.15 m³ | 125 kW | $178k-$203k |
Operators can specify:
In the Texas Highway Expansion Project, 21 ton excavators achieved:
The latest Stage V-compliant models reduce particulate emissions by 89% while maintaining 214 kN breakout force. Integrated telematics systems enable:
(21 ton excavator)
A: A 21-ton excavator typically offers slightly higher digging power and reach compared to a 20-ton model. The weight difference may also affect stability on uneven terrain. Both are suited for medium-scale construction projects.
A: No, half-ton pickup trucks lack the payload capacity for heavy excavator attachments. Specialized trailers or heavy-duty trucks are required. Always check weight limits before transportation.
A: A 21-ton excavator excels in road construction, trench digging, and medium demolition work. Its size balances power and maneuverability for urban and rural sites. It can handle heavier loads than 20-ton variants.
A: A 21-ton excavator may consume 5-8% more fuel due to its enhanced power output. Modern models often include eco-modes to optimize consumption. Operational efficiency depends on workload and operator skill.
A: Maintenance costs are generally comparable, but 21-ton models may require more frequent undercarriage inspections due to increased weight. Parts for both sizes often share similar availability. Always follow manufacturer service schedules.
