About Medium Excavators from MCM Group+
Medium excavators for sale in South Africa
MCM Group stocks 8 medium excavator models for sale across South Africa, ready for collection at our branches in Cape Town, George, Bloemfontein, Midrand or for delivery to any of the nine provinces. Every medium excavator we supply is selected and specified for tough local working conditions, and backed by in-country parts and service so you are never waiting on an overseas supplier when you need to keep working.
Medium excavators are used for a wide range of construction, agricultural and industrial tasks. Whether you are a contractor, farmer, plant-hire operator or municipality, our team will help you match the right machine to your application and budget rather than over- or under-speccing the job.
How to choose the right medium excavator
Start with the work the machine will do most often. Matching engine power, operating weight and lift or dig capacity to your typical tasks keeps running costs down and avoids paying for capability you will rarely use. If you run attachments, check the hydraulic flow and coupler type up front, and think about transport — how you will move the medium excavator between sites affects which size class makes sense.
Compare the full specification of each model on its product page, then weigh up availability of parts, ease of servicing and resale value. A slightly higher purchase price often pays back through lower downtime and better support, which is exactly where buying a medium excavator with a local warranty and a national parts network has the edge over a grey import.
Medium excavator price and finance
Pricing for medium excavators at MCM Group starts from R 467 033 excl. VAT, with the final figure depending on configuration, attachments and any current specials. Request a quote on any model for an up-to-date, all-in price including VAT and delivery to your area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medium Excavators
What size is a medium excavator?
Medium excavators typically fall in the 8 to 25 ton operating weight class. They offer the digging depth and bucket capacity needed for commercial construction, civil engineering, dam building and mining operations where mini excavators are underpowered.
What can a medium excavator do?
Medium excavators are used for bulk earthmoving, foundation excavation, trenching, dam and road construction, overburden removal in mining, demolition and material loading. They accept a wide range of hydraulic attachments including hammers, grapples and compactors.
Are medium excavators available with finance in South Africa?
Yes. MCM Group works with multiple approved finance houses to offer instalment sale and lease agreements on medium excavators. Contact our sales team to discuss deposit requirements and monthly repayment terms.
What medium excavators does MCM Group sell?
MCM Group's medium excavator range includes the MCM 75DS Excavator and Yuchai YC60-9. All machines are backed by manufacturer warranty, genuine parts and after-sales service from our branches nationwide.
In South African civil construction, medium excavators in the 10—20 tonne class are the most commonly specified machines for dam construction, bulk earthworks and road building. Their bucket capacity (typically 0.5—1.0 m³) and digging depth (5—7 metres) allow them to work efficiently in materials ranging from sandy loam to weathered rock, while their transport weight remains manageable for inter-site moves on standard low-bed trailers.
Hydraulic thumb attachments are widely used on South African medium excavators to improve versatility — the thumb allows the operator to grip and place large rocks, handle tree stumps and move demolition rubble with precision that a bucket alone cannot achieve. MCM Group can advise on thumb compatibility for the excavator models in our range.
All MCM Group medium excavators include full local warranty, genuine parts supply and professional after-sales service from our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein. Competitive instalment sale and operating lease finance options are available through our approved finance partners.
