HT12 1.2ton Mini Excavator

HT12 1.2 Ton Mini Excavator Overview

The HT12 is a compact 1.2-ton mini excavator designed for smaller excavation jobs where machine size, access and working control are important. Powered by a Kubota D722 engine rated at 10.2 kW, the machine combines a 1,200 kg operating weight with a compact crawler layout and a 896 mm chassis width.

With a maximum digging depth of 1,650 mm and a maximum digging radius of 2,850 mm, the HT12 is suited to a range of everyday excavation tasks, including trenching, landscaping, agricultural work, planting, root removal and small-scale site maintenance. Optional configurations such as a swing boom, closed cab and USA EATON travel motor allow buyers to specify the machine according to their working requirements.

Compact Size for Smaller Work Areas

One of the main advantages of the HT12 is its compact overall layout. The machine measures 2,770 × 896 × 1,490 mm, with a chassis width of 896 mm and a 180 mm track width. This compact footprint makes the HT12 easier to position on smaller working areas where a larger excavator may be unnecessary.

The machine has a minimum rotation radius of 1,330 mm and a platform rear turning radius of 784 mm. These dimensions give the HT12 a practical configuration for landscaping, agricultural work and other jobs that require equipment to operate within a limited working area.

Kubota D722 Engine

The HT12 is equipped with a Kubota D722 engine rated at 10.2 kW at 2,500 r/min. The engine is specified as a three-cylinder, water-cooled configuration and provides the power source for the 1.2-ton excavator.

For buyers comparing small excavators by engine configuration, the Kubota D722 gives the HT12 a clearly defined powertrain specification rather than an unspecified engine option. The engine information can also be confirmed together with the machine configuration when requesting a quotation.

Digging Capability for Everyday Excavation

The HT12 provides a maximum digging depth of 1,650 mm and a maximum vertical digging depth of 1,375 mm. Its maximum digging height is 2,610 mm, while the maximum dumping height is 1,850 mm.

The maximum digging radius on the ground reaches 2,850 mm. Together, these working dimensions give the HT12 the reach required for common trenching, planting, landscaping and general excavation tasks without moving into a larger excavator class.

Optional Swing Boom for More Flexible Positioning

A swing boom is available as an optional configuration for the HT12. The boom can swing 60 degrees to the left and right, allowing the operator to adjust the boom position while keeping the machine positioned for the work.

This configuration can be useful when excavation needs to be carried out beside structures, within landscaped areas or around specific digging points. It gives the operator more flexibility when positioning the bucket for localized excavation work.

Hydraulic Pressure Control

The HT12 incorporates a pressure-reducing valve within its hydraulic system. The purpose of the device is to help control hydraulic pressure during operation and support more predictable hydraulic movement.

For a compact excavator, controlled hydraulic operation is important when carrying out smaller excavation tasks that require the attachment to be positioned accurately. The pressure-reducing valve forms part of the machine's hydraulic configuration and should be considered together with the overall hydraulic system specification.

Optional Closed Cab Configuration

A closed cab is available as an optional configuration for customers who prefer a more enclosed operator area. This configuration can be considered for applications where the operator works around soil, debris or other materials that may be displaced during excavation.

The closed cab option gives buyers another configuration choice when selecting the HT12 for different working environments. Customers can confirm the required cab configuration when requesting a quotation.

Travel System and Optional EATON Motor

The standard travelling motor is listed as a China-brand unit, while a USA EATON travel motor is available as an optional configuration. The HT12 has a listed travel speed of 1.5 km/h.

For buyers comparing different equipment configurations, the travel motor option can be confirmed according to the intended machine specification and order requirements. This allows the final configuration to be discussed before quotation and production.

Designed for Landscaping, Agriculture and Small-Site Work

The HT12 is suited to applications where a compact excavator is more appropriate than a larger construction machine. Its working range and compact dimensions make it a practical option for smaller excavation projects and routine site tasks.

• Landscaping: Suitable for planting preparation, localized excavation and landscape maintenance.
• Agricultural work: Useful for trenching, soil-related work and removing tree roots in orchard areas.
• Trenching: The machine's digging depth and working radius support smaller trenching jobs.
• Municipal maintenance: A compact machine option for selected maintenance and excavation tasks.
• General site work: Suitable for projects where a 1.2-ton excavator provides an appropriate balance between machine size and working capability.

HT12 Working Dimensions and Machine Configuration

The HT12 combines a 1,200 kg machine weight with a 896 mm chassis width, 1,650 mm maximum digging depth and 2,850 mm maximum digging radius. These specifications provide a useful reference when comparing the HT12 with other compact excavators for a particular project.

The machine is also equipped with a 0.025 m³ digging bucket with a listed bucket capacity of 120 kg and a 380 mm bucket width. Buyers can use these specifications together with the operating dimensions to determine whether the HT12 matches the requirements of their intended application.
