Questions

About the CREX6-M

Will it fit through a side gate?

705 mm across the tracks. A standard UK side gate opening is 780–900 mm, so yes in the great majority of cases. Measure the narrowest point — usually the gate post rather than the gate — and remember the canopy needs headroom under an arch or a porch.

Do I need a licence or a card to operate it?

No legal licence to own or use one on private land. For paid work on a commercial site most principal contractors want a CPCS or NPORS card for 360° excavators below 10 tonnes. That is a site-access requirement, not a legal one, and we do not provide certification.

Petrol on a digger — is that a problem?

Not at this size. Petrol keeps the weight and the price down, fills at any forecourt and avoids red-diesel rules entirely. Diesel earns its keep further up the weight range, where the machine runs all day and fuel burn starts to matter.

What can I tow it with?

Ask us for the operating weight before you book transport — we quote it from the shipping paperwork rather than from a brochure. Check your V5C towing capacity, your nose weight and your licence entitlement against that figure.

How long do the rubber tracks last?

Typically 800–1200 hours on mixed ground, considerably less on hardcore and kerbs. Ask us for a price and delivery time on replacements.
