Hightop HT18 Compact Excavator: Agile and practical, the dependable choice for confined working conditions

Are you troubled by working in confined construction sites? The Hightop Group HT18 compact excavator is here to solve your problems! This excavator boasts a compact frame yet delivers remarkable performance, making it particularly suited to showcasing its capabilities in space-constrained environments such as older residential estates and greenhouse complexes.

The HT18 model is equipped with a Kubota/Kubota engine delivering a rated power of 10.2 kW, offering not only stable and reliable performance but also helping you save on fuel costs. Featuring a compact zero-tail swing design, our HT18 can manoeuvre and operate with ease in alleys less than 4 metres wide, thanks to its impressive tail swing radius of just 790mm.

The boom support achieves swing ranges of 75 degrees and 45 degrees on the left and right sides respectively, enabling the machine to operate with ease even in tight corners. With a digging depth of 2.06 metres and a digging height of 2.58 metres, it meets general construction requirements. No more worries about awkward situations where you ‘can't reach or dig deep enough’.

This model employs a hydraulic pilot control system, featuring pilot control valves on both sides to enhance operational precision. The gear-driven crawler tracks deliver stable travel performance, with a 30-degree gradient climbing capability and a swing speed of 12 revolutions per minute. Ground clearance measures 119 millimetres, while the track contact length is 1050 millimetres – parameters demonstrating its traversal capability across complex terrain.

In practical applications, the HT18 is well-suited for confined construction scenarios such as refurbishing older residential estates and working within greenhouse structures. Its compact dimensions (overall length 4.35m, transport length 1.66m, width 1.1m) enable it to pass through standard doorways and narrow passageways. User feedback indicates the equipment operates reliably during tasks and is relatively straightforward to handle.

Even more considerate is the HT18's exceptionally straightforward maintenance. Key components feature quick-release designs, making routine inspections time-efficient and labour-saving. This minimises equipment downtime, ensuring your project schedule remains unaffected. Choosing the HT18 means selecting a fuel-efficient, worry-free asset that earns you money!
