Precise Hydraulic Pilot Control System
The precise hydraulic pilot control system outperforms cheap mechanical controls. When you stop the joystick, the machine responds immediately with smooth, precise action. Unlike the delay in traditional mechanical systems, pilot control ensures smoother, safer operation while reducing wear and extending the machine’s lifespan.
In addition, the hydraulic pilot lock switch adds an extra layer of protection, preventing accidental machine movement by locking the hydraulic system when idle, ensuring safety during transport or while not in use.
Swing Boom for Better Performance
Maximize your mini excavator’s potential with the swing boom feature. It allows the arm to move side-to-side without repositioning the machine, making it perfect for tight spaces and tricky angles.
Save time, work more efficiently, and protect the ground from unnecessary wear. Whether you're working close to walls or in narrow spots, the swing boom gives you the precision and flexibility you need to get the job done right.
Compact Design
With a total width of just 3'3", our excavator is easy to maneuver in tight urban and residential spaces. The reduced tailswing model minimizes the risk of property damage near buildings and obstacles due to its minimal swing radius.
Easy Maintenance
On this heavy-duty compact excavator, maintenance is quick and easy. Located conveniently at the rear, accessible maintenance ports allow effortless removal of guards and straightforward servicing of key components. These accessible points minimize downtime, ensuring your machine operates at peak performance consistently.
Adjustable Dozer Blade
Our 1000mm wide blade stands out from competitors, offering superior coverage. It adjusts from -16cm to +16cm in height, ensuring versatility across different terrains. Features like Dig-to-Blade and dozer float make clean-up effortless.
Ready-to-Use Hydraulic System
Our small excavator arrives with hydraulic oil pre-filled for immediate use. Monitor oil levels and temperature effortlessly with the built-in meter, ensuring you have full control over the machine's status at all times.
Adding hydraulic oil is easy with the conveniently located next to the right-side excavator control lever. Clear labeling on the machine body ensures seamless operation.
Compatible with Multiple Attachments
Equipped with enhanced hydraulics, our compact crawler excavator effortlessly accommodates high-flow attachments like auger, hydraulic thumb, and hydraulic breaker hammer(not incl.).
From effortlessly demolishing tough materials to achieving precision in drilling tasks and securely handling debris, our tools excel in diverse environments.
The improved track frame design reduces mud buildup and minimizes wear on the carrier rollers, enhancing the machine's durability. Forged structure at key boom joints, with optimized shape and thickness, alleviates stress and boosts longevity.
Top-Quality Workmanship
The machine's structural components are crafted by Japan Komatsu's trusted manufacturers. The entire vehicle undergoes shot blasting, pickling, phosphating, and spraying processes, enhancing paint adhesion for increased durability, resistance to fading, and a smoother finish.
Your Safety is Our Priority
AHM mini excavators keep you safe with work lights on the digging arm for better visibility, a seatbelt for security, a canopy for rain and sun protection, and waterproof, non-slip mats underfoot. Stay safe and focused on the job.
Hardy Helper for Any Terrain
Our small digger is made from sturdy steel for durable long-lasting service, while the rubber tracks let the excavator move on various surfaces and offer exceptional traction without damaging cabro paving, indoor flooring, or pavement.
So far I’m loving it. Only used it to pull a couple old stumps and bushes and level out the spot. Definitely planning to beat it up this summer and really put it through its paces.

Hydraulic Breaker Hammer for Mini Excavator Concrete Breaker with 2 Chisels Hoses
Bruce McFadden
Very sturdy
The hook fit perfectly into my quick attach fitting and went straight to work in the rocks. It stays solid with my thumb to lift rocks, and I often use it to grab and flip rocks that are way too big for my machine. It's much easier to get under and around a rock with just the hook than trying to do it with a bucket.

Well worth it
I just received this Bucket and have not tried to attach it to my excavator or use it. For the price this appears that it will work good for my intended purposes which is to remove weeds that have grown up through my gravel.
I would definitely buy this again as the price was reasonable and the quality will get the job done.
