For Prospectors... ...who need to dig in remote areas.
Stephan Ermair...(helicopter pilot for Pacific Western Helicopters Ltd.)...phone 1-250-562-7911 or 1-250-494-7203 "The CanDig mini excavator has a built-in tripod towing system that makes it easy and safe to haul. Using a Long Ranger, the unit was very stable to tow in one load because of this feature."
Need reliable, portable digging power? The "Mining-CD21" provides even more breakout force than some tracked excavators, and uses a 9
horse power Honda engine and 2 1/2 inch bore cylinders for extra digging power. The Mining-CD21 is capable of digging
eight feet deep into the toughest of ground conditions, ranging from hard-pan clay to excavating large boulders that weigh up to a ton.
It is an industrial strength machine designed for commercial use. You can expect to process about 6 1/2 yards of ground per hour with the "Mining-CD21", earning you more profit
by unearthing more minerals during the limited mining season.
For 2008, the "Mining-CD21" has been reinforced with even stronger, more durable working parts. It now comes equipped with a complete "spare parts kit" (included)
Spare Parts Kit
to keep you operating, and to ensure even more productive use of your limited time. Also new is the heavy guage protective wrap that protects your hoses.
For an environmentally friendly version of hydraulic oil, you may wish to choose "Green Plus" at www.greenpluslubes.com or you can choose to stay with the regular 32 weight hydraulic oil.
Ken Brophy, from Crosshair Exploration & Mining, wrote, "Gordon,
Thank you for continuing to follow-up and great customer service you and your team provided to Crosshair all season long. The CanDig preformed better than I personally thought it would in our environment and our operators learned how best to utilize the machine and it capabilities in short order. It's been great to deal with a company such as CanDig when you know any concerns or issues that may arise are handled in an expeditious manner. From an exploration stand point, operating in a seasonal environment, the service you provide ensures the programs are done with minimal external impact.
We have currently suspended our field activities due to the adverse market conditions. I foresee us returning to the field in 2009 and feel confident that the CanDig will play a role in moving our projects to the next step.
Thank you once again Gordon, and I look forward to working with you again in 2009."
At only 1200 pounds, it can be easily and conveniently hauled either in one load with a Long Ranger helicopter, or undo one large bolt (wrenches provided) to have two loads of 700 + 500 lbs.
The load is naturally balanced with three convenient tow points to attach slings. When you set the excavator down, it is ready to go to work!
You can also choose to tow it into remote areas using a quad (ATV). Note that at your request, your "Mining-CD21" can be modified so that its overall towing width is only 50 inches.
Compared with tracked excavators, the "Mining-CD21" is more stable and much safer to use. Its low center of gravitly and wide working stance make it easy to crawl up or down steep slopes more safely. Digging on uneven
ground is also much easier and safer than with a mini tracked excavator.
The new color scheme for the "Mining-CD21" can be green, brown or black so that it blends into its natural surroundings, or you can choose the safety red. Mining land use inspectors like the
"Mining-CD21" because it leaves a small footprint on the landscape. Its large rubber tires and lightweight design cause little damage to the environment.
The Honda engine meets international pollution control standards, and uses very little gas daily.
The "Mining CD21" is now stronger, faster, digs deeper, and comes with a complete spare parts kit to ensure you keep working in remote areas.
Congratulations to CanDig for being voted 'BEST MANUFACTURING COMPANY' in Kamloops for the past three years!
CanDig has been presented both the "CE Declaration of Conformity" showing that their products meet safety and quality standards set out for the European Community; and the "National Safety Mark" which shows that their products meet the requirements set out by the "Motor Vehicle Safety Standards" of Canada, and authorizes them to issue internationally recognized serial numbers.
Congratulations also for winning the Technology Innovator award for 2007!
An electric motor option is available when fumes are a concern...plugs into a generator, or dryer/range outlet...heavy duty industrial plug in cable NOT shown.
The "Mining-CD21" also has available an 8 inch wide trenching bucket and 20 inch wide grading bucket. The “ripper/root cutter”
accessory allows you to dig through frozen or tough ground easier, and also doubles as a root cutter. When power, digging depth, portability and
versatility are important, the "Mining-CD21" is the right digging tool for your mining needs.
Your low investment amount will quickly pay for itself, and generate more profit
for your business for many years to come.
Servicing is easy and inexpensive too. Your "Mining-CD21" uses very little gasoline, and seven joints should be greased daily.
Change the hydraulic filter and engine motor oil once or twice per year. To winterize it, simply fill it with fuel and add a gas stabilizer.
Why Buy a Candig Mini
Excavator?
7 More Reasons to Choose a Candig Mini Excavator
1. Great Value. Honda, Hy-Spec, and Casapa are some of the quality components
that combine to make Candig a quality investment. Only the best of fabricating
techniques are good enough for Candig, ranging from using experienced welders,
computer-guided cutting tools, to its polished finish. Parts are machined
for accuracy, and joints are protected with (replaceable) highly durable bushings and grease
fittings. The philosophy of Candig is to offer the end-user a product that they
can rely on, because they know that your mining business depends on your tools.
2. Competitive Edge. Ask yourself.....Can your competition move their Mini
Excavator with a quad or helicopter? Can they work safely on uneven ground? Can
they pass over sensitive environmental areas without causing more damage than good?
3. Provide Security For Your Family. The bottom line is that you will be
generating more income for your business/family from the time you invest in your
Candig Mini Excavator.
4. Diversity. The "Mining-CD21" is not just a digging tool. You can choose the options that best meet your needs.
Perhaps you need a thumb for picking up large boulders and logs; access wheels so you can take it
into those tight spots; and a second, trenching bucket for installing water
lines, electrical cables, etc. A “ripper” makes digging in tough ground easier.
Lights, fenders and a safety chain make them legal and safe to tow on the highway.
An auger, wood splitter and hydraulic stabilizers are also available for any model (mechanical stabilizers come standard).
5. Low Investment/High Return. Where else can you find a tool that is capable of
generating more income for such a low investment amount? In addition, you do not
need to invest in a trailer or larger truck to haul your Candig mini digger. Servicing is easy and economical.
6. Recognition. Plain and simple.....Candig is a smart investment. As an owner of
a Candig Mini Excavator, you will be admired and recognized as an industry
leader. Share the prestige that CanDig has earned with its many awards of excellence.
CanDig was also nominated best CANADIAN Exporting company for 2005! It recently won its
sixth award, this time in the "technology innovator" category.
7. Be Free From Back Pain. Put your short handled shovel in the shed! From now
on, you can relax and let Candig do all of your digging.....and it’s fun too!
Trenching Bucket
The "Mining-CD21" can be equipped with three buckets. The first is 12 inches wide and has a capacity
of about 2 cubic feet. The second, trenching bucket is only 8 inches wide and is
ideal for installing cables or sprinkler systems. The third bucket allows you to clean up and grade. The CD21 can also have three
buckets.
Access Wheels
The "Mining-CD21" can have access wheels that pin onto the Mini Excavator in seconds, allowing
it to become 28 inches wide. They are sturdy, 6 inch steel wheels which allow
you to move through tight spots with ease.
Thumb
The thumb is also available with the "Mining-CD21". Choose either a mechanical or hydraulic
thumb that will make it easy to lift boulders or trees.
Ripper
The ripper/root cutter is attached to the bottom of the bucket of your choice, and allows CanDig
to dig through frozen or tough ground easier. For 2006, the ripper has been modified to also act as a root cutter.
Fenders, Lights, and safety chain
make it legal and safe to tow on the highway.
Wood Splitter, Auger and Hydraulic Stabilizers
The optional Wood Splitter is capable of quartering your firewood in one pass. That means you can split your wood three times faster than with a regular hydraulic splitter!
The 6 inch auger is also available, and is equipped with a torque bar for safety. It is capable of augering 36 inches into and back out of the ground with its forward and reverse action.
The "Mining-CD21" comes with manual stabilizers, but you can up-grade them to be driven hydraulically so that you can quickly and conveniently change it from travel mode to work mode automatically.
The hydraulic stabilizers provide the added benefit of being able to self-level the excavator on extremely uneven ground.
The wood splitter, auger, and hydraulic stabilizers simply "plug into" your existing CanDig using quick connects which will be installed for you at the factory.
Due to strong demand, you should place orders well in advance so your new excavator is ready when you need it.
Ask for a Sample order. Tell us which accessories you need, where you live, and when you need your excavator.
