Mini Excavator 1.5 tons, with cab, 14HP Kubota Engine, RIPPA R15 ECO

The RIPPA R15 ECO mini excavator is built for excavation work in the tightest spaces – small yards, driveways, gardens, or even indoors, where no other excavator would fit. With a width of just 983mm in retracted position, it can pass through most standard doorways, and once on site, the tracks extend hydraulically from 900mm to 1200mm with a single lever, providing better stability while digging. It is powered by a Kubota D722 engine, with an output of 10.2kW (13.7hp), known for low fuel consumption and quiet operation, making it ideal for use in residential areas.

Beyond its compactness, the R15 ECO delivers solid performance for an ultra-compact mini excavator: a maximum digging depth of 1807mm, a maximum digging radius of 3266mm, and a dumping height of 2277mm, enough for most residential or gardening jobs – pool digging, drainage trenching, small foundations, tree planting, or snow removal. The gear pump, with a flow rate of 27.5 L/min, supported by a 9-way pilot valve, ensures smooth movement and precise control of the boom and attached accessories.

Key Advantages

The control levers are positioned on both sides of the seat, allowing a relaxed working posture and excellent forward visibility, while the seat is ergonomically adjustable to reduce fatigue over long workdays. The hydraulic quick-change tilt switch has dual mechanical protection against accidental activation, and the hydraulic valve block on the boom ensures safer hydraulic lines and reduces the risk of damage during operation. The foot pedal is equipped with dual pilot foot valves and two single pilot foot valves, for smoother and more stable operation. The boom's side-swing structure allows digging near walls and in narrow spaces, with a swing angle of 40° to the right and 52° to the left.

The bulldozer blade is made of high-strength steel, resistant to wear and impact, reinforced with ribs and fitted with oil injection holes at the joints, with quick-fold adjustment via a simple pin pull – useful both for levelling and for narrowing the machine's width when passing through very tight spaces. The motor and reducer are integrated into a compact design, making the structure more durable than exposed-component alternatives. The machine also includes a four-way high-pressure crushing oil pipe for auxiliary equipment, a control pattern change valve (left/right) for the boom, and switchable low/high speeds for flexible travel.
 

Cab and Operator Comfort

The windshield can be flipped up for natural ventilation in hot weather and is easy to clean, while the wipers with washer fluid maintain good visibility regardless of weather conditions. The cab is fitted with a four-post front protective net, which blocks flying stones, branches, and other debris, protecting both the glass and the operator. The reversing camera displays the area behind the machine in real time, reducing blind spots and making reversing safer in narrow or complex conditions. The seat cover contains sound-absorbing cotton, which reduces noise and helps isolate heat for added comfort. The cab also includes a heater for cold days, a fan for warm days, a fire extinguisher for emergency situations, and a window breaker for quick evacuation if needed. A lifting hole makes transporting the machine more convenient, while the roof-mounted front headlight and warning light ensure good visibility even in low-light conditions.
 

Easy Maintenance

The rear hood opens wide for quick access to the engine, and the hydraulic service port is conveniently located and protected. Grease fittings are nickel-plated and protected with a welded block, resistant to water, mud, and corrosion, ensuring a precise, leak-free connection with the grease gun. The undercarriage hydraulic hoses are shielded with steel spring guards against wear caused by friction, sharp objects, and rough terrain. The rubber key cover protects the key slot when the key is removed, preventing dust and debris from entering and extending the lifespan of the electrical components.
