HT12G 1.2T Mini Excavator – Zero Tail Swing, Kubota Engine

Work Flush Against Walls – Zero Tail Swing

Ever had to stop mid-job because your machine’s tail swung into a wall or fence? The HT12G eliminates that problem. With a tail swing radius of just 820mm, the rear end stays tight to the machine’s body – so you can work right next to buildings, foundations, and obstacles without constantly checking your clearance.

Built Around a Kubota Diesel

Power comes from a Kubota Z482 diesel engine – one of the most reliable small diesel engines in the compact equipment industry. Kubota engines are known for durability, fuel efficiency, and cold-start performance. Parts are available worldwide, and mechanics know them. This is an engine that keeps working when cheaper alternatives fail.

Paint That Stays On, Not Flakes Off

The HT12G’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 HT12G’s paint bonds to the metal – it stays on the machine, not in the back of your truck.

Pilot Controls – Not Cable Pulls

The HT12G uses pilot-operated joysticks – hydraulic-assisted controls that are light, responsive, and precise. You can make fine adjustments around foundations, pipes, and existing structures without fighting stiff mechanical cables all day. Less fatigue means more productive hours on the job.
