Detailed Features
Built-in Hydraulic Oil Line
Hoses are routed inside the boom with steel guards. This reduces snagging, keeps the site cleaner, and extends hose life—ideal for brush, rebar, and tight trench work.
Engineering Rubber Tracks + Dozer Blade
The track system grips on gravel and soil while protecting concrete and pavers. The front blade speeds backfill, levels pads, and adds stability when digging.
Operator Station & Controls
Clear, simple joysticks and a comfortable seat help new users get productive in minutes. The layout supports smooth grading and precise movements at low speed.
Arm, Cylinder & Linkage
Reinforced boom with quality cylinders gives a 7.2 kN class digging force. Pins and bushings are easy to grease, and the quick-change bucket pins make tool swaps fast.

Real User Stories
Utility repair in Spain
A city crew used the 12K Mini Excavator to open 40 cm-wide trenches along a stone lane. Rubber tracks avoided damage to the street. The built-in hose routing prevented snags on fencing. Daily productivity rose by 28% vs. a walk-behind trencher.
Farm drainage in New Zealand
A dairy farm dug 120 m of shallow drains beside a fence line. The 12K passed through a 1 m gate, worked on soft ground with the blade down, and backfilled with the same machine. Fuel use averaged 1.2–1.4 L/h.
