About Us

Nestiques is a compact-equipment shop run from Jackson, Wyoming. We stock ten items in two collections – five mini excavators from 1.0 to 3.5 tons, and the five attachments that get used most on machines that size – and ship every order free anywhere in the United States.

Why the catalog is this short

Most equipment sites list two hundred machines and give you a photograph, a weight and a price. We went the other way. Ten items means we can publish the numbers that actually decide a purchase: operating weight, dig depth, reach at ground level, engine power, track width retracted and extended, pin diameter and the width between the mounting ears. If a machine is not on this site it is because we did not think it earned a place next to the others.

The two collections split cleanly. Mini Excavators holds five compact hydraulic machines – 1.0, 1.7, 2.5 and 3.5 ton diesels plus a 1.0 ton battery-electric model for indoor and noise-restricted work. Excavator Attachments holds the five tools most owners buy first: a severe-duty digging bucket, a hydraulic thumb, an auger drive, a frost ripper and a manual quick coupler.

What we look for before we list something

• Replaceable wear parts. Bucket teeth on adapters, a ripper point on a retaining pin, a coupler wedge on a threaded adjuster. A worn part should cost you a part, not an attachment.
• Bushed, greasable pin bosses. Not reamed straight into the plate. A bush is a consumable; a hole worn oval in a casting is not.
• Auxiliary hydraulics as standard. Every excavator we sell has an auxiliary circuit plumbed to the end of the arm, so the hydraulic attachments on this site fit without a retrofit kit.
• Honest fitment numbers. Every attachment lists pin diameter, ear width and the machine weight range it suits. Three numbers, checked against your machine, and it fits.
• Access before power. The most common sizing mistake is buying reach and then finding the machine will not go through the gate. We publish retracted track width for exactly that reason.

How we ship

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum spend. Which carrier moves it is decided by weight, not by us: items up to 70 lb go USPS, items up to 150 lb go UPS or FedEx Ground, and anything heavier – the hydraulic thumb, the auger drive and every machine – moves on a freight truck. Machines are delivered curbside on a flatbed or drop-deck trailer and are tracked down the ramps by you or an operator you appoint; they are far beyond the rating of any liftgate, so we do not pretend otherwise. Attachments and parts ship to all 50 states; machines to the 48 contiguous states only, because free ocean freight to Alaska or Hawaii inside our stated window is not a promise we can keep. We dispatch within 1 – 2 business days and transit takes a further 3 – 6, so most orders arrive 4 – 8 business days after you place them. Full detail is in the shipping policy, and you can follow yours on our Track Your Order page.

If it is not right

You have 30 days from delivery to send any unused item back in its original condition and packaging for a refund to your original payment method. A machine that has been fueled and run is no longer unused, so change-of-mind returns apply before the first start; faults are covered separately whether the machine has run or not. The full detail is in the refund policy.

Warranty, parts and the name

Every item is covered by the manufacturer’s written warranty supplied with it. We do not publish a period we cannot stand behind, so ask us before you order and we will send you the exact terms in writing. There is no dealer network: warranty claims, wear parts – bucket teeth and adapters, ripper points, coupler wedges, hoses – all come through us at info@nestiques.com.

And the name: Nestiques is ours, coined for this shop. It is not an old brand, an acquired one or a borrowed one, and the machines and attachments carry it as a house brand. If you have seen the word elsewhere in home goods, that is a different business with no connection to us.

Talking to us

There is no ticket queue and no chatbot. Email or call and a person answers, usually the same day and always within 24 hours. If you are not sure whether the 1.7 ton or the 2.5 ton machine suits your work, tell us your narrowest access point and the depth you need to reach and we will tell you which one to buy – including when the answer is neither.
