Rippa R18

The Rippa R18 delivers stronger breakout force, extended digging reach, and enhanced hydraulic efficiency compared with smaller mini excavators. Its 1.8-ton class performance and compact design make it ideal for demanding residential construction, agricultural work, and professional landscaping projects where power and maneuverability are equally important.

Balanced geometry, extended track width, and a reinforced chassis provide stable digging performance and reliable operation on uneven construction terrain.

✅ Kubota D902 3-Cylinder Diesel Engine: Powered by the reliable Kubota D902 engine delivering 11.8 kW (16 HP), providing strong torque, excellent fuel efficiency, low vibration, and dependable performance for demanding construction and landscaping work.

✅ Pilot Control Joysticks: Ergonomically positioned pilot joysticks deliver smooth hydraulic response, precise machine control, and reduced operator fatigue during long working hours.

✅ Advanced Load-Sensing Hydraulic System: High-performance hydraulic system with variable displacement piston pump ensures smoother operation, faster cycle times, improved digging power, and energy-efficient performance.

✅ Hydraulically Adjustable Track Width (990–1300 mm): Expandable undercarriage allows the excavator to pass through narrow access points while providing greater stability when fully extended during excavation tasks.

✅ Dual-Speed Travel Motors: Switch between low and high travel speeds (up to 2.8 km/h) for efficient machine movement across construction sites.

✅ Optional Steel Tracks with Optional Rubber Pads: Optional durable steel tracks provide strong traction and stability, while optional rubber pads help protect finished surfaces and pavement.

✅ Zero Tail Swing Design: Compact rear swing radius allows safe operation close to walls, fences, and structures, making the machine ideal for tight job sites.

✅ Auxiliary Hydraulic Lines for Attachments: Pre-installed auxiliary hydraulic lines support attachments such as augers, breakers, grapples, and hydraulic thumbs for increased versatility.

✅ Quick Hitch Attachment System: Quick-connect hitch design enables fast attachment changes, reducing downtime and improving productivity on multi-task job sites.

✅ Reinforced Bulldozer Blade: Strong dozer blade improves grading performance, leveling capability, and overall machine stability during excavation operations.

✅ Heavy-Duty Counterweight: Cast-steel counterweight improves machine balance, lifting capacity, and digging stability during heavy-duty applications.

✅ Protected Boom Cylinder Design: Top-mounted boom cylinder and protected hose routing reduce the risk of damage during demanding digging and loading operations.

✅ Side Swing Boom: The side swing boom design allows the excavator to dig efficiently close to walls, fences, and structures. This feature improves precision in confined workspaces and makes the R18 ideal for urban construction and narrow job sites.

✅ Protected Hydraulic Thumb: Optional hydraulic thumb attachment provides improved material handling capability for grabbing rocks, logs, debris, and construction materials. The protected hydraulic routing ensures durability and reliable operation during demanding lifting and loading tasks.

✅ LED Work Lights: High-brightness LED lights improve visibility and safety when working early mornings, evenings, or in low-light environments.

✅ LCD Multi-Function Control Panel: Clear LCD display and well-arranged controls provide operators with real-time machine information and easy access to key operating functions.

Compact transport dimensions combined with an adjustable track width allow the Rippa R18 to access tight job sites while delivering excellent stability, extended reach, and powerful digging performance for demanding construction and landscaping tasks.
