Mini Excavator 1.8 tons, with cab, 16 HP Kubota Engine, RIPPA R18 PRO

The RIPPA R18 PRO mini excavator with cab is built for digging jobs in tight, hard-to-reach spaces – backyards, alleyways, gardens, or areas a standard excavator simply cannot fit into. With a retracted width of only 849mm, it can pass through gaps a full-size machine never could, and once on site, the hydraulic tracks extend from 750mm to 990mm for much better stability while digging or lifting. It runs on a Kubota D902 engine rated at 11.8kW/16HP, known for low fuel consumption and quiet operation, making it suitable for residential jobs without disturbing neighbors.

Despite its compact size, the R18 PRO delivers solid performance for its class: a maximum digging depth of 2627mm, a maximum digging radius of 3981mm, and a dumping height of 2048mm, more than enough for most home or farm projects – pool digging, drainage trenching, small foundations, tree planting, or snow removal. The variable displacement piston pump, with a flow rate of 41.4 L/min, paired with a 10-way hydraulic control valve, ensures smooth movement and precise control of the boom and attached tools.
 

Key Advantages

The cab features control levers positioned on both sides of the seat for a relaxed working posture and clear forward visibility, along with an ergonomically adjustable seat that reduces operator fatigue throughout the day. The hydraulic quick-change pedal has dual mechanical protection against accidental activation, and the valve block on the boom reduces the risk of hydraulic hose damage during operation. The roof is fitted with a front spotlight and warning lights for better visibility in low-light conditions, plus a rearview mirror mounted underneath.

The dozer blade is retractable and can be quickly adjusted in width simply by removing and reattaching a pin, which is very useful for leveling ground. The engineered rubber tracks provide smooth travel with minimal vibration and handle slopes and rough terrain with ease. The motor and reducer are integrated into a single compact design, making the structure more durable than exposed-component alternatives. The machine also includes a hydraulic quick coupler for attachments, a four-way high-pressure oil pipe for auxiliary equipment, and an explosion-proof valve device that prevents the boom from dropping suddenly if a hydraulic line ruptures.
 

Cab and Operator Comfort

The windshield flips up for natural ventilation in hot weather, while the wipers with washer fluid keep visibility clear in rain, snow, or mud. The large LCD display shows the machine's operating status in real time, along with fault codes and maintenance reminders, making daily monitoring much simpler. The cab includes a protective net against flying stones and debris, a fresh air system, a heater for cold days, and a fan for warm ones.
 

Easy Maintenance

The rear hood opens wide without any tools, giving quick access to the engine and key components for daily inspection. Track tensioning points are reachable through a dedicated maintenance window, without having to remove protective plates. Grease fittings are nickel-plated and protected by a welded block, resistant to water, mud, and corrosion, while a rubber cover for the key slot keeps out dust and extends the life of the electrical components.
