Why the HT10B 1-Ton Mini Excavator Fits Where Others Cannot
A small construction project can have a surprisingly difficult access problem.
The job may be inside a courtyard, behind a house, along a narrow passage or inside a basement. There may be enough room to excavate, but not enough room for a conventional machine to enter and turn.
This is where the HT10B 1-ton mini excavator becomes useful.
The machine is built around compact access without giving up the basic digging range needed for everyday small earthmoving work.

The First Challenge: Getting the Machine to the Job
The HT10B measures 2775 × 930 × 2219 mm and weighs 1,000 kg in working condition.
Its most practical feature for restricted sites is the adjustable track width.
The undercarriage can retract from 1000 mm to 830 mm. At 830 mm, the machine can pass through narrow farmyard gates, residential walkways and small basement entrances.
Once inside the work area, the tracks can extend to 1000 mm for improved stability.
The machine uses 180 mm rubber tracks, helping keep ground pressure low when working on surfaces such as lawns and tiled areas.
The Second Challenge: Working Without Constant Repositioning
Restricted sites often make machine positioning more important than maximum machine size.
The HT10B has a 784 mm rear swing radius, helping it operate in areas where there is limited clearance around the rear of the machine.
Its boom can swing 60° to the left and 60° to the right.
This is useful for wall-side excavation and foundation-pit work because the operator can adjust the digging direction without constantly moving the entire excavator.
What Can a 1-Ton Excavator Actually Dig?
| Working Parameter | HT10B |
|---|---|
| Operating weight | 1,000 kg |
| Maximum digging depth | 1,650 mm |
| Maximum ground digging radius | 2,850 mm |
| Maximum digging height | 2,610 mm |
| Maximum dumping height | 1,850 mm |
| Boom swing | 60° left / right |
| Standard bucket | 0.025 m³ |
The 0.025 m³ standard bucket is intended for routine trenching, grading and earthmoving tasks.
For small contractors, the value of a compact excavator is often not maximum digging capacity. It is having enough capability to complete common jobs without bringing in a much larger machine.
From Garden Work to Rural Construction
The HT10B can be used across several compact work environments.
For landscaping teams, the narrow undercarriage helps the machine enter courtyards and garden areas.
For renovation contractors, the 830 mm retracted track width can help with access through narrow entrances.
For rural construction crews, the machine can support trenching and small earthmoving work around residential and infrastructure projects.
The dozer blade also provides 345 mm lifting and 255 mm digging capability, allowing the machine to assist with leveling and site cleanup.
A Practical Power and Hydraulic Package
The standard HT10B configuration uses a Changchai single-cylinder air-cooled engine with an 8.2 kW rated power.
Optional engine configurations include KOOP, Briggs & Stratton and Yanmar.
The hydraulic configuration includes a Japanese main pump, Italian main valve, as well as travel and swing motors.
For operators, the purpose of this configuration is straightforward: smooth hydraulic movement and reliable coordination during combined operations.
The machine can also be supplied with either a sun canopy or enclosed cab as an option.
Why This Machine Works Well for Rental Applications
A rental machine needs to be useful to different customers.
One customer may need to enter a garden. Another may need to dig a trench. Another may need to work beside a wall.
The HT10B's retractable undercarriage, compact rear swing radius and practical digging range allow one machine to cover these different small-job requirements.
Its 1,000 kg operating weight also makes transport relatively straightforward for businesses moving equipment between compact job sites.
For rental businesses purchasing several machines, bulk ordering is available, with tiered pricing for larger quantities.
