Will an excavator fit through my gate?

Measure the narrowest point between your street and the work area: the gate opening, a side passage, a downpipe or meter box that sticks out. Then compare it with each machine's narrowest width.

How to measure

Measure at ground level and at about 1.5 m high, since walls and eaves can pinch higher up. Allow at least 50 mm either side for a safe pass, and check for steps, slopes and soft ground along the way.

Retractable tracks

The SV08, SV10 and ViO17 have variable undercarriages. They narrow to pass through the gate, then widen again on site for stability.

Overhead clearance

Canopy machines need around 2.2 to 2.5 m of headroom. The SV08 and SV10 ROPS frames fold down for low doorways.

If it's tight, tell us the measurement when you book and email us a photo of the access. We'll confirm the fit before delivery day.
