Retractable Undercarriage for Enhanced Stability

The AHM AX-16S 23 HP B&S gasoline mini excavator features a retractable undercarriage that adjusts from 3'3" to 3'11" for enhanced stability and performance. This provides better balance when handling heavier loads and allows for more efficient digging and lifting. With a 71-inch digging depth, 114-inch max digging radius, and a compact width for easy maneuvering, it excels in tight spaces. It lifts up to 265 lb and minimizes site disruption with its reduced tail-swing. The retractable undercarriage also makes it ideal for accessing confined job sites.

Double Enhanced Power and Improved Efficiency

Briggs & Stratton Efficient Engine

Equipped with a Briggs & Stratton Dual Cylinder 3864 engine, this compact powerhouse packs advanced technologies, delivering exceptional power and efficiency while being lighter than competitors. Boasting 70% more horsepower and 50% larger displacement than 13.5hp 420cc models, it ensures superior performance.

  • V-Twin OHV Technology: Offers better balance, increased power, and optimized performance for longer life and improved fuel economy.
  • Robust Construction: Features cast iron sleeve, balanced crankshaft, and full-pressure lubrication, ensuring longevity and wear resistance.

71 in. MAXIMUM DIGGING depth

26% Increase in Digging Force

  • Experience top performance with the AX-16S, featuring a 71-inch max digging depth and 3260 lbf of digging force. Whether tackling tough clay, rock, or compacted soil, its advanced boom design ensures smooth and efficient operation.
  • With a max digging radius of 114.2 inches and a max dumping height of 59.3 inches, the AX-16S is built to handle demanding tasks with ease.

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.

Adjustable Undercarriage

With a retractable width ranging from 37 to 47.2 in., this innovative system transforms your excavator's capabilities in multiple ways. Narrow the tracks to access confined spaces where standard machines can't operate, then expand them for maximum stability on challenging terrain. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple specialized machines while enhancing safety by preventing tipping hazards.

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.

Great deal for not a lot of money.

Fantastic excavator! Far exceeded my expectations in power and quality. Not a loose bolt not a scratch in the paint. The expanding track base is worth the trade off for not being able to get the Kubota motor but the Vanguard 23hp is awesome power. I have yet to run it above 1/4 throttle for heavy digging in dry fairly hard clay and it’s quieter than my Kubota tractor. It seems very reasonable on fuel too. I drove it out of the crate onto the box truck lift gate.

Good seller & value

Good seller & value. I ordered a narrow bucket and ripper from them. Both were in the hands of FedEx within two business days and delivered quickly. Shipping won’t necessarily be from CA but most likely originate closer to you. I live in the northeast and mine came from NJ for faster delivery. As for the mini excavator, the retractable undercarriage was the big selling point for me. It gives the machine way more stability, especially when digging into heavy stuff. You can extend the tracks for more balance and support, which makes it easier to handle those bigger, tougher jobs. It feels solid, and I’ve been able to dig deeper and lift heavier loads without worrying about tipping over. The controls took a bit to get used to, but it’s been smooth since then. It’s a bit slower to move around, but that’s not a big deal when you’re working on tough, uneven ground. Overall, the machine’s been exactly what I needed and more.
