Florida excavator rates
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 Florida, the excavator central reference is $160 USD/hr (range $135 USD to $180 USD, as of 2026-08). That figure is a reference estimate for bare equipment. The published primary class is 20 Ton Class (e.g. 320/200). Nearby-book checks: Georgia central reference $160 USD/hr, and Alabama central reference $150 USD/hr. These are public reference figures, not a quote. Bill the rate on the signed project sheet.
