When working space is limited, a compact excavator needs to do more than simply fit through a narrow entrance. It must also provide sufficient digging range, stable operation and practical transport.

The HT10B mini excavator is a 1-ton machine developed around these requirements. With a 1,000 kg operating weight, retractable undercarriage and compact tail swing, it is suited to indoor renovation, garden work, rural construction and other small-scale earthmoving applications.

Its combination of compact dimensions and useful digging performance has made the HT10B a long-running model for rental companies, landscaping businesses and small construction teams.

Compact Dimensions for Restricted Access

The HT10B has an overall dimension of 2775 x 930 x 2219 mm and an operating weight of 1,000 kg.

Its undercarriage can be adjusted from 830 mm to 1000 mm. When retracted to 830 mm, the machine can pass through narrow farmyard entrances, residential passages and small basement doors. The track can then be widened to 1000 mm to provide greater working stability.

The machine is equipped with 180 mm wide rubber tracks. Their low ground pressure helps reduce the impact on surfaces such as tiled floors and lawns.

With a rear swing radius of only 784 mm, the HT10B can also work in restricted areas where a larger excavator may have difficulty turning.

HT10B Mini Excavator: A Trusted 1-Ton Workhorse

Useful Digging Performance in a Small Package

Although the HT10B is a 1-ton mini excavator, its working range is designed around common small earthmoving requirements.

  • Maximum digging depth: 1,650 mm
  • Maximum ground digging radius: 2,850 mm
  • Maximum digging height: 2,610 mm
  • Maximum dumping height: 1,850 mm
  • Boom swing angle: 60° left and right
  • Standard bucket capacity: 0.025 m³

The 60° left-and-right boom swing is particularly useful when digging alongside walls or around foundation pits, reducing the need to reposition the entire machine repeatedly.

The standard 0.025 m³ bucket is suitable for trenching, grading and general earthmoving work.

Engine and Hydraulic Configuration

The standard configuration uses a Changchai single-cylinder air-cooled engine rated at 8.2 kW.

For different market requirements, KOOP, Briggs & Stratton and Yanmar engine options are available. These configurations are intended to meet different domestic and export requirements, including requirements in European and American markets.

The hydraulic system uses a Japanese main pump, together with an Italian main valve, travel motor and swing motor. This configuration supports smooth combined movements and is designed for repeated working conditions.

For buyers operating rental fleets or machines frequently, hydraulic component configuration is an important consideration because machine

availability directly affects equipment utilization.

More Than Digging

The HT10B is not limited to excavation.

Its dozer blade provides 345 mm lifting and 255 mm digging capability, allowing the machine to assist with site leveling and cleanup work.

Optional configurations include a sun canopy or enclosed cab, giving buyers the flexibility to select a configuration according to their working environment and seasonal requirements.

This makes the compact excavator suitable for a range of applications including:

  • Indoor renovation
  • Residential and courtyard projects
  • Landscaping work
  • Rural infrastructure construction
  • Small trenching projects
  • Site leveling and cleanup
  • General small-scale earthmoving

Why Rental Companies Consider the HT10B

For rental companies and contractors, purchasing equipment is not only about the initial machine specification. Transport, access, utilization and maintenance all affect operating costs.

The HT10B addresses several of these practical requirements.

Its 1,000 kg operating weight makes transportation easier, while its retractable undercarriage allows the machine to access narrow working areas.

The compact body also reduces the space required for operation, while the Japanese and Italian hydraulic components provide a configuration intended for stable repeated use.

For businesses that need multiple machines, the HT10B is also available for bulk purchasing, with stock availability and tiered pricing for larger orders.
