  • Kubota or KOOP engine – choose the power that fits your region.

Indoor Access Without the Struggle

Most 1.2-ton excavators claim to be compact but still scrape door frames. The HT12 is 940mm wide with a folding canopy – it rolls through standard doorways and into basements, elevator shafts, and indoor corridors without dismantling the machine or knocking out walls.[reference:0]

Runs Cooler, Works Longer

The HT12’s hydraulic oil tank holds 25L – 6 liters more than most 1.2-ton competitors. On a hot summer afternoon, that extra capacity keeps hydraulic fluid temperatures down so you can keep working through the heat instead of stopping to let the machine cool. Less downtime means more production.

Paint That Stays On, Not Flakes Off

The HT12’s structural parts go through a full surface treatment – shot blasting, pickling, phosphating, and plastic spraying.Most manufacturers skip these steps and just spray paint over raw metal. The result? Paint that flakes off within a year and rust that eats through the frame. The HT12’s paint bonds to the metal – it stays on the machine, not in the back of your truck.

German Hoses, Japanese-Spec Hydraulics

Hydraulic hoses are imported from Continental AG in Germany. They don’t leak after a year of use like cheaper alternatives. The hydraulic system delivers smooth, responsive power for precise work around foundations, pipes, and existing structures – whether you’re running a bucket, a breaker, or an auger.

How wide is the HT12? Will it fit through a standard doorway?
The HT12 is 940mm wide with a folding canopy that drops the overall height – it fits through most standard doorways and can work inside buildings, basements, and elevator shafts.
How deep can the HT12 dig?
Maximum digging depth is 1700mm (1.7 meters) – deep enough for utility trenches, drainage lines, foundation footings, and demolition work.
What's the advantage of the 25L hydraulic oil tank?
Most 1.2-ton excavators have a 19L hydraulic tank. The HT12 has 25L – 6 liters larger. On hot days or during continuous work, the extra oil keeps the hydraulic system cooler and extends your working hours before the machine needs to cool down.
What engine options are available for the HT12?
The standard engine is a KOOP 192F (7kW). For markets with stricter emission standards or different fuel preferences, we offer Kubota, RATO, and Briggs & Stratton options – all with EPA, Euro 5, CE, and ISO certifications.
Can I tow the HT12 with a pickup truck?
At 1200kg operating weight, the HT12 tows behind a standard pickup on a small trailer. No special permits or heavy-duty haulers required for most jurisdictions.
What attachments can I use with the HT12?
The HT12 accepts standard mini excavator attachments – digging buckets (400mm standard), hydraulic breakers, augers, grading blades, grapples, rippers, and rakes. Quick-hitch systems are available for fast attachment swaps.
