HT13 1.3T Mini Excavator – Zero Tail Swing, Max Reach
1300kg operating weight – stable on slopes, tows behind a pickup.
1710mm digging depth – trenches, footings, drainage, site clearing.
1100mm body width – fits through standard equipment gates.
795mm tail swing – works tight against walls and obstacles.
Boom swing & telescopic track – optional for tighter job sites.
KOOP, Kubota, or B&S engine – choose what fits your region.

Stable, Capable, and Built for Real Work
At 1300kg operating weight, the HT13 sits in the sweet spot between lightweight 1-ton machines and heavier 1.5-ton excavators. It’s heavy enough to stay stable on slopes and during heavy digging, but light enough to tow behind a standard pickup on a small trailer. No special permits, no heavy haulers.
Digs Deep, Reaches Far
The HT13 delivers a 1710mm maximum digging depth and a 2910mm digging radius – deep enough for utility trenches, drainage lines, and foundation footings. The 2700mm digging height clears the sides of most dump trucks and trailers. With a 30° gradeability, it handles slopes and uneven ground without losing traction.
Optional Upgrades for Tougher Job Sites
Need to work next to walls or squeeze through tighter gates? The HT13 offers two optional upgrades: boom swing (left/right articulation for digging parallel to obstacles) and telescopic track (adjustable track width for access through narrow passages). These options turn a capable machine into a specialized tool for urban and residential job sites.
Paint That Stays On, Not Flakes Off
The HT13’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 HT13’s paint bonds to the metal – it stays on the machine, not in the back of your truck.

What engine options are available for the HT13?
The standard engine is a KOOP 192. For customers with specific regional requirements or fuel preferences, we offer Briggs & Stratton, Changchai, and Kubota options.
What are the optional features for the HT13?
The HT13 offers two optional upgrades: boom swing (for working next to walls without repositioning) and telescopic track (adjustable track width for access through tighter gates).
Can I tow the HT13 with a pickup truck?
At 1300kg operating weight, the HT13 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 HT13?
The HT13 accepts standard mini excavator attachments – digging buckets, hydraulic breakers, augers, grading blades, and grapples. Quick-hitch systems are available.
How does the HT13 compare to 1-ton excavators?
The HT13 offers 300kg more operating weight than 1-ton models, which provides better stability on slopes and more digging force. It also offers a 1710mm digging depth – deeper than many 1-ton competitors. The trade-off is a wider body (1100mm vs 930mm), so it's better suited for open sites than ultra-tight indoor work.
