HT15KS Mini Excavator – 30° Slope Stability, 2900mm Reach
30° slope stability – works on hills and uneven ground without tipping.
1000mm narrow body – fits through standard gates and greenhouse aisles.
1750mm digging depth – trenches, footings, drainage, stump removal.
2900mm reach – covers more ground per position, fewer moves.
1000kg weight – tows behind a pickup on a small trailer.

2900mm Reach – Fewer Moves, More Work Done
Most 1-ton excavators max out at 2600-2700mm of digging distance. The HT15KS gives you 2900mm. That extra 200-300mm of reach means you can dig a trench and load a truck without moving the machine every few buckets. On a job that takes 50 repositioning moves with a standard machine, you’ll do 35 with the HT15KS. That’s time saved, fuel saved, and fatigue reduced.
Water-Cooled Diesel – Not Air-Cooled, Not Compromised
Most compact excavators in this class use air-cooled engines to save cost. The HT15KS uses a KOOP KD2V80 water-cooled diesel – 12kW of consistent power that doesn’t fade when the engine heats up. Water cooling maintains stable operating temperatures during continuous digging, so you don’t lose power or risk overheating on long shifts. Combined with the TENGFEI main valve, the hydraulic system delivers smooth, responsive control without jerking or lag.
30° Gradeability – Work on Hills Without Worry
Flat ground is rare on real job sites. The HT15KS climbs 30° slopes without losing stability – 1000kg operating weight and 820mm track gauge keep it planted where lighter machines start slipping. On muddy sites, loose gravel, or sloped residential yards, this is the difference between finishing the job and waiting for a tow.
Built to Cross Borders – Paperwork Done, Machine Ready
Exporting equipment is paperwork-heavy – biosecurity cleaning, container loading, customs documentation, emission compliance. The HT15KS is shipped ready to work, with all export paperwork handled. For customers in regulated markets, engines can be configured to meet local emission requirements. You get a machine that arrives ready to dig, not a pile of paperwork to sort through.

How far can the HT15KS reach without repositioning?
Maximum digging distance is 2900mm – significantly more than most 1-ton excavators, which typically max out at 2600-2700mm. That extra reach means fewer repositioning moves per job and more productive hours per shift.
How wide is the HT15KS? Will it fit through a gate?
The machine is 1000mm wide overall, with an upper width of 940mm. It fits through most standard equipment gates and greenhouse aisles. For residential pedestrian gates (typically 80-90cm), it will fit through wider ones – measure your access point first.
What type of engine does the HT15KS use?
The HT15KS uses a KOOP KD2V80 water-cooled diesel engine producing 12kW. Water cooling maintains consistent operating temperature during continuous digging – unlike air-cooled engines that can overheat on long shifts or in hot weather.
How deep can the HT15KS dig?
Maximum digging depth is 1750mm (1.75 meters) – deep enough for utility lines, drainage ditches, foundation footings, and stump removal.
Can I tow the HT15KS with a pickup truck?
At 1000kg operating weight, the HT15KS 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 HT15KS?
The HT15KS accepts standard mini excavator attachments – digging buckets, hydraulic breakers, augers, grading blades, and grapples. Quick-hitch systems are available for fast attachment swaps.
Is the HT15KS suitable for greenhouse work?
Yes. The 1000mm width and 30° gradeability make it ideal for greenhouse aisles and uneven ground. The water-cooled engine runs consistently in warm environments where air-cooled engines would struggle.
