Rubber Duck Excavator
1. All-Road Adaptability: Special tires with strong grip can adapt to various road conditions, including gravel roads, muddy roads and paved roads.
2. Precise Excavation: The hydraulic control system with high precision ensures accurate excavation depth and width, reducing rework.
3. Comfortable Working Environment: Cab with air conditioning and shock absorption system, providing a comfortable working experience for operators.
4. Strong Power Reserve: The high-horsepower engine provides sufficient power for heavy-load operations such as deep excavation and hard rock breaking.
5. Long Service Life: Anti-corrosion treatment on the surface of the equipment and high-quality components ensure long-term stable use.
6. Intelligent Monitoring: Equipped with a monitoring system to real-time display equipment operation status and fault early warning.
A small wheeled excavator with a compact and flexible body and a small turning radius, which can easily enter areas inaccessible to large equipment such as narrow alleys, indoor construction sites, and underground garages, with flexible operation without dead ends. The operation panel is simple and easy to understand, with low difficulty in getting started, allowing both professional operators and novices to master it quickly.
The Ultimate “Rubber Duck” Excavator: Precision Meets Unrivaled Mobility
Experience the freedom of high-speed job site transitions with our professional-grade rubber duck excavator. Engineered for contractors who demand the digging depth of a crawler but the road-legal agility of a truck, our wheeled excavators eliminate the logistical headaches of hauling. Whether you are performing rapid utility repairs in the city center or maintaining long stretches of highway, our rubber duck diggers provide the heavy-duty performance and surface-friendly footprint you need to finish the job faster.
Product Overview
Our flagship rubber duck excavator (9-Ton Class) is a master of versatility. Built on a reinforced 4WD chassis with high-traction rubber tires, it allows you to drive directly between projects at speeds up to 35 km/h. Featuring a compact tail swing and an optional articulated boom, this machine can dig deep in a single traffic lane without disrupting surrounding activity. It is the go-to solution for modern municipal infrastructure, large-scale landscaping, and urban construction projects.

Key Features & Benefits
Cost-Saving Mobility: Drive your rubber duck from site to site. Eliminate thousands in annual low-loader transport costs and reduce time spent on loading and unloading.
Surface-Friendly Operation: The high-grade rubber tires are designed to protect asphalt, concrete, and turf. This makes it ideal for urban roadworks where steel tracks would leave expensive damage.
360-Degree Work Stability: Equipped with a front dozer blade and independent rear hydraulic outriggers, providing a rock-solid work platform that rivals the stability of a tracked machine.
Advanced “Articulated Boom” Option: Allows for a greater working range and the ability to dig vertically alongside walls or over obstacles, maximizing your efficiency in narrow city corridors.
Premium Operator Environment: Our pressurized, ROPS/FOPS certified cab features ergonomic joysticks, climate control, and a high-definition monitor for real-time diagnostics and hydraulic flow adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is it called a “Rubber Duck”?
A: It is a common industry nickname in the UK and Australia. Because these machines move on rubber tires and can have a slight “bobbing” motion while travelling or working, operators affectionately dubbed them rubber ducks.
Q: Can this machine be driven on public roads?
A: Yes. Our rubber ducks come fully equipped with road-legal LED lighting, mirrors, indicators, and high-speed transmissions. They are designed to travel at traffic-compatible speeds for short-to-medium distances.
Q: Is it as stable as a tracked excavator?
A: When the hydraulic stabilizers (outriggers) and dozer blade are deployed, the machine is incredibly stable. For “on-rubber” operations, the oscillating axle can be locked to provide a firm footing for lighter lifting and grading.
Q: What attachments are compatible with this model?
A: Our machines feature high-flow auxiliary hydraulics. They are fully compatible with hydraulic breakers, rotating timber grapples, tilt-rotators, and augers. The quick-coupler design allows for tool changes in under a minute.
