Compact power for confined spaces

Lightweight, diesel-driven, hydraulically strong
Equipped with a small diesel engine, the machine combines a lightweight chassis with a robust hydraulic system that smooths boom, arm and bucket work. Typical digging depth is around 1.5–2 meters (approximately 5–6.5 feet).
