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.

  • Your Safety is Our Priority

    Our excavators are designed with advanced safety and efficiency. The hydraulic oil cooler maintains consistent oil temperatures, preventing overheating and protecting critical components, reducing wear, and extending equipment life. The hydraulic safety lock immobilizes controls during maintenance or unintended activation, reducing risks and enhancing safety in compliance with OSHA standards.

  • Compact Power with Zero Tail Swing

    Our zero tail swing excavator is built for tight spaces, offering full rotation without hitting obstacles behind. It lets you work right up against walls, fences, or structures with total freedom of movement. The reduced tail design improves safety, boosts efficiency in narrow job sites, and keeps your worksite clean and damage-free while delivering serious digging power where it matters.

  • 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.

  • Ready-to-Use Hydraulic System

    Our small excavator comes with hydraulic oil pre-filled and ready to work. A built-in meter makes it easy to monitor oil levels and temperature, so you always stay on top of your machine’s condition. Clear labels on the body make daily checks and operation smooth and hassle-free.
