WE30 vs WE35
Two sizes of the same frame. The difference that decides the order is usually aisle width or the weight of a full pallet — not the number on the plate.

Rows that differ are marked. Rows without a mark are identical on both builds.
Choose WE30 when
3.0 t. Steps up to a wider track and a larger pump; the difference is felt in cycle time, not in dig depth.
The building is the constraint: floor loading, door width, or a mezzanine that will not take the heavier chassis. WE30 is also the cheaper unit, so a fleet that never loads to the plate should not pay for the frame it does not use.
WE30 specificationChoose WE35 when
3.5 t. The top of the range. Bought for small earthworks contracts where a full-size excavator cannot be justified.
The load is the constraint: pallets that arrive over-weight, attachments that shift the centre of gravity forward, or a mast tall enough that residual capacity falls away at height. Buying one size up is cheaper than a second handling step.

Send the aisle width, the load and the lift height. We answer with the model and the reason, not both brochures.
