It supports various optional attachments, including a boom swing function, steel tracks, and an enclosed cab. Suitable for landscaping, agricultural work, municipal engineering, and indoor renovations, it supports OEM customization and global export. Capable of multi-functional operations, it is a cost-effective, ideal choice for small-scale contractors, farmers, and rental companies worldwide.
Key Advantages
1. Compact and Agile Design
With an overall width of just 950mm, its compact size allows for easy access to greenhouses, courtyards, narrow alleyways, and indoor job sites. It comes standard with a front dozer blade (930mm wide) for site leveling and machine stabilization during excavation. An optional boom swing function (30° left/right swing) significantly enhances operational flexibility near walls and obstacles. An extendable undercarriage is also available as an option to further adapt to various confined working conditions.
2. Reliable KOOP Diesel Power System
Powered by a KOOP KD192F single-cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine, it delivers a rated maximum power of 7kW at 3000rpm. The engine offers low fuel consumption (theoretical rate of 0.5–1.5L/h), stable power output, and low noise levels, while boasting a gradeability of up to 30%. It runs on standard No. 0 diesel, has an oil capacity of 1.65L, and is easy to maintain. A 5.5L independent fuel tank supports extended continuous operation.
3. Stable Full-Hydraulic Drive System
Equipped with a high-quality “06” series gear main pump (rated pressure: 25MPa; max. flow: 23.4L/min) paired with an 8-spool multi-way control valve (rated pressure: 18MPa). Boom, arm, bucket, and travel movements are smooth and fluid, offering precise control. Equipped with BM6K-315 travel motors and a BM2-315 swing motor, the machine ensures stable travel and swing performance. The 18-liter hydraulic oil tank provides ample heat dissipation capacity for prolonged operations.
4. Durable Tracks and User-Friendly Configuration
Standard rubber tracks (Model 1807237) protect lawns and road surfaces; steel tracks are available as an option for rugged mining areas and rocky terrain. A mechanical track tensioning system allows for easy adjustment. Options such as a sun canopy, enclosed cab, ventilation system, and hydraulic thumb are available to meet specific customer needs. The ergonomic layout of controls effectively reduces operator fatigue during extended work sessions.
5. Broad Applicability and Customization Support
The standard bucket has a capacity of 0.03 m³ and is compatible with various attachments, including hydraulic breakers, augers, and timber grapples. Services such as OEM color customization, logo removal, parameter adjustments, and export certification compliance are supported to fully meet the standards of markets in Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
