Major manufacturers rolled out a large array of new excavators in the past year.
Fifteen OEMs launched excavators in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet any situation operators will find on the job.
A few trends emerged among the new models:
- Shorter tail swings — Many are designed for working in confined and crowded spaces, with a compact or short radius, leaving less or none of the excavator’s body hanging out over the tracks.
- Electro-hydraulic controls — The joysticks can be customized to suit operators’ preferences, such as slower speed for novices or faster responsiveness for veterans. The EH controls also enable OEMs to add new technology such as automatic payload weighing and being able to save settings for individual attachments.
- More safety tech — Typically an option, but more manufacturers are offering standard safety equipment, such as more camera views and automatic obstacle and human detection to prevent accidents.
- More comfortable cabs — The cabs in the new models also continue to get more comfortable, with many of the same features you’d find in your pickup truck, as manufacturers acknowledge the long hours operators spend on their machines.
Excavators — for this report defined as crawler diesel models weighing more than 10 metric tons — continue to be among the top-selling categories of construction equipment.
Between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, nearly 15,000 new financed excavators were sold in the U.S., according to Fusable’s EDA equipment finance data. That ranks them as the top-three seller, behind compact track loaders and mini excavators, which are defined as 10 metric tons and below. (Both EDA and Equipment World are owned by Fusable.)
In this report, we look at the most popular models, as well as new models and features on the market from the top manufacturers.
