HT15 Mini Excavator –18KN Breakout Force, Kubota D722

  • 18KN bucket breakout force – compacted soil, clay, and rock.

  • 1800mm digging depth – trenches, footings, drainage.

  • Kubota D722 – 10.2kW, Tier 5 / Stage V certified.

  • 35° gradeability & 4km/h travel – handles slopes, moves fast.

  • 1500kg operating weight – stable, trailer-friendly.

Operates Where Others Lose Traction

The HT15-2 climbs 35° slopes without losing stability. On muddy sites, loose gravel, or uneven ground, the 200mm rubber tracks and 380mm ground clearance keep you working when lighter machines start slipping. This isn’t a machine that stops working because the ground got soft.

Hydraulics That Deliver Consistent Power

The 18.2MPa hydraulic system isn’t just a number on a spec sheet. It means smooth, responsive control when you’re working around existing pipes or foundations, and full digging force when you hit hard ground. The 9rpm swing speed keeps cycle times short – you’re not waiting for the machine to catch up.

Built to Stay Cool Under Pressure

Continuous digging generates heat. The HT15-2’s hydraulic system is designed to shed that heat efficiently, so you’re not stopping every hour to let the machine cool down. Less downtime means more production per shift.

Controls That Don’t Fight You

The joystick controls are laid out intuitively – no hunting for functions, no awkward hand positions. You can run this machine all day without the arm fatigue that comes with poorly designed controls. That’s the difference between a machine you tolerate and a machine you actually want to operate.

How much digging force does the HT15-2 deliver?
The HT15-2 delivers 18KN of bucket digging force – significantly more than most 1.5-ton excavators, which typically max out at 14-15KN. That extra power makes a real difference when you're breaking through compacted soil, clay, or rocky ground.
What engine does the HT15-2 use?
The HT15-2 is powered by a Kubota D722 three-cylinder diesel engine, producing 10.2kW (15HP) at 2500rpm. It's Tier 5 / Stage V certified, so it meets North American and European emission standards. Kubota engines are known for reliability, fuel efficiency, and cold-start performance.
How deep can the HT15-2 dig?
Maximum digging depth is 1800mm (1.8 meters). Vertical digging depth is 2230mm – deep enough for straight-wall trenches, utility lines, drainage, and foundation footings.
How wide is the HT15-2? Will it fit through a gate?
The machine is 940mm wide overall, with a chassis width of 1000mm. It fits through most standard equipment gates. For residential pedestrian gates (typically 80-90cm), this machine is wider – measure your access point first.
What's the advantage of the 18.2MPa hydraulic system?
The 18.2MPa hydraulic pressure delivers consistent power to the bucket and arm, so you get full digging force even in tough conditions. Higher pressure means better performance without needing a heavier, more expensive machine.
Can I tow the HT15-2 with a pickup truck?
At 1500kg operating weight, the HT15-2 is heavier than 1-ton machines but still tows behind a standard pickup on a small trailer. Check your trailer's weight rating and local towing regulations before transport.
