Highly Maneuverable and Versatile Across Sites

Lightweight: With a total machine weight of only 1,260 kg, this ultra-compact unit is easy to transport (e.g., via small truck or trailer). Its low ground pressure minimizes the risk of damage to road surfaces or lawns.

• Zero-Tail-Swing Design: Featuring a minimum turning radius of just 1,450 mm, the upper body barely extends beyond the tracks during rotation. This makes it ideal for confined spaces—such as indoors, between buildings, or near walls—significantly reducing the risk of collisions.
• Strong Climbing Ability: Capable of navigating inclines up to 30°, the machine performs reliably not only on flat ground but also on slopes, in landscaped areas, or across complex terrain.

Diverse Power Options to Suit Various Needs

• Available with a choice of reliable, mainstream engines—Kubota or Weichai-Laidong (D722 or D902 models). Users can select based on budget or brand preference, ensuring both powertrain reliability and robust after-sales support.
• Power output ranges from 10.2 kW to 11.8 kW (approx. 14–16 hp), sufficient for standard excavation and demolition/breaking tasks.

Comfortable Controls to Reduce Operator Fatigue

Equipped with a Pilot Control System. Compared to traditional mechanical lever controls, these pilot-operated joysticks are lighter and more precise, making the machine easier to learn and less fatiguing to operate over long periods.

Fuel-Efficient for Lower Operating Costs

Fuel consumption is just 3.0 L/h at 2,500 rpm. This excellent fuel economy is a major advantage for rental applications or extended work shifts, helping to keep operational costs under control.

Excavation Specifications

Wide Working Range: Offers a maximum digging depth of 2,100 mm, a maximum digging height of 2,820 mm, and a maximum digging radius of 3,050 mm. This enables the machine to handle tasks such as deep trench excavation and high-reach material loading. Stability: Despite its compact size, the machine ensures stability during excavation through a well-balanced weight distribution (total machine weight: 1.26 tons) and a tracked undercarriage.

Dozer Blade Functionality

Equipped with a front-mounted dozer blade, the unit offers a lifting height of 180 mm and a lowering depth of 210 mm. This enables the machine to perform not only excavation but also site leveling, pushing, and backfilling, making it a versatile, multi-purpose tool.

Hydraulic and Fluid Systems

Hydraulic oil tank capacity: 18 L.

Fuel tank capacity: 16 L.

Engine oil capacity: 1.6 L.

These well-proportioned tank capacities ensure sufficient runtime for several hours of continuous operation without adding excessive weight to the machine.

Structural Design

Overall dimensions: 2550 × 1150 × 2200 mm. With a width of only 1.15 meters, the machine can pass through standard single-leaf doorways or narrow passageways, making it ideally suited for confined environments such as small-scale urban construction projects, landscaping, and greenhouse operations.
