Alaska excavator rates
Also called hoe, 320, 330, Cat 320, 20 ton, 30 ton, mini excavator. Rates by SubTrack.
Alaska charge-out rates carry camp, barge, and short-season premiums that a Lower 48 sheet will miss. North Slope and remote civil are not Anchorage commercial. These USD T&M ranges are a floor; add mobilization and isolation before you bill. Excavator charge-out is the line most earthworks tickets live on. The book splits mini (3-5 ton), 20-ton / 320 class, 30-ton / 330 class, and 45-ton. Fuel is usually extra. Operated versus bare changes the number more than the region does. In Alaska, a excavator typically bills $205 /hr (range $180 to $235, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Washington sits at $180 /hr, and Northern Canada (YT/NT/NU) sits at $210 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
Prices in USD. Fully loaded T&M charge-out, not wages.
