Key Features & Benefits
Retractable Undercarriage & Blade: To maximize accessibility, the track width can be hydraulically retracted to 990mm, allowing the machine to pass through standard garden gates and narrow side-alleys. Once on-site, the tracks extend to 1,300mm to provide maximum stability during heavy lifting and deep digging.
Global-Standard Powertrains: We exclusively equip our 1.7-ton export models with genuine Kubota or Yanmar diesel engines. These powerplants meet the latest EPA Tier 4 Final and Euro Stage V emissions standards, ensuring legal operation across North America and Europe while offering easy local access to maintenance parts.
High-Performance Load-Sensing Hydraulics: Utilizing an industrial-grade variable displacement piston pump, our hydraulic system provides exceptionally smooth, simultaneous movements. This "millimeter-level" control is essential for delicate trenching around live gas, water, and electrical lines.
Reinforced Structural Build: The boom and arm are constructed from high-strength manganese steel and robotically welded. All hydraulic hoses are routed internally or shielded with steel guards to prevent accidental damage on the jobsite.
Service-Ready Design: We prioritize maximum uptime. Large-opening rear engine hoods and side panels provide immediate access to all daily maintenance points, including the air filter, oil dipstick, and cooling system.
Applications
The 1.7-tonne excavator is a high-utility asset across multiple sectors:
Urban Utility Infrastructure: Precise trenching for fiber optics, electrical conduits, and water mains in congested metropolitan areas.
Residential Landscaping: Digging swimming pools, footings for retaining walls, and large-scale tree planting in backyard environments.
Road Maintenance: Cleaning drainage ditches, shoulder maintenance, and asphalt breaking for utility repairs.
Interior Demolition: Compact enough to enter buildings for controlled strip-outs and concrete breaking tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the benefit of the retractable tracks on the 1.7-ton model?
The retractable tracks allow the machine to access restricted areas like standard garden gates (under 1 meter wide). In wide mode, it offers the stability of a larger machine, which is critical when digging at maximum depth or using heavy attachments like breakers.
How deep can a 1.7 tonne excavator dig?
Our 1.7-ton models typically offer a maximum digging depth of 2.1 to 2.35 meters. This makes them perfectly suited for most standard utility depths and residential foundation requirements.
Is this machine compatible with attachments?
Absolutely. Every unit is equipped with dual-directional auxiliary hydraulic piping as standard. It is fully compatible with hydraulic breakers, earth augers, grapples, and hydraulic thumbs.
