HT18C Mini Excavator for Compact Landscaping and Excavation

A compact machine starts with the dimensions

The HT18C is built around a footprint that is easier to work with on smaller sites. Its overall width is 1,100 mm and the upper frame measures 960 mm wide. The tail swing radius is 760 mm, while the minimum turning radius is 1,580 mm. For landscaping, residential renovation and orchard work, these measurements help buyers assess whether the machine matches the available access before looking at other specifications.

For a narrow entrance or restricted working area, actual site measurements should always be checked before ordering. A machine width of 1,100 mm should not be treated as the same as a 1,100 mm opening because operating clearance is still required.

Working range for everyday excavation

The HT18C provides a maximum digging depth of 1,950 mm and a horizontal digging reach of 2,880 mm. It reaches up to 2,490 mm in digging height and 1,635 mm in dumping height. This range makes the machine relevant to trenching, garden excavation, drainage preparation, property maintenance and other compact excavation tasks.

The standard bucket capacity is 0.02 m³ and operating weight is 1,400 kg. Buyers can therefore evaluate the machine not only by its physical size, but also by the digging range required for the job.

Powertrain and working configuration

HT18C uses a Rato 739CC twin-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 17 kW. The machine is equipped with a Tengfei main valve, has a 12 RPM swing rotation speed and a listed maximum climbing gradient of 30°.

These details are useful when comparing a compact mini excavator for landscaping with other machines in the same application range. The right configuration depends on the working environment, required reach and attachment requirements rather than machine weight alone.

Attachments for different jobs

The HT18C can be used with interchangeable attachments for different working conditions. The available product information lists more than 20 attachment options, including equipment for digging, breaking, drilling and material handling.

If the machine will be purchased for a specific project, include the intended attachment in the inquiry. This makes it easier to confirm the required configuration, spare parts and export arrangements before quotation.

For project buyers and equipment sourcing

When requesting an HT18C quotation, provide the destination country, intended application, quantity and required attachments. OEM or configuration requirements can also be discussed where applicable. For export orders, shipping and spare-parts requirements should be confirmed together with the machine specification.
