1.8 Ton Compact Crawler Track Excavator HT18-3 Introduction
The HIGHTOP compact excavator is a tracked excavation machine built around a narrow 1120 mm overall width, making its layout suitable for projects where machine footprint is an important consideration. With an operating weight of 1,425 kg, a 795 mm tail swing radius, and a 200 mm standard track shoe width, the machine combines a compact working profile with practical excavation capability. Its backhoe working device delivers a 2,050 mm maximum digging depth and 3,130 mm maximum digging reach, allowing it to handle trenching, foundation preparation, soil excavation, and other small-to-medium excavation tasks.
The machine is also designed around a balanced working range rather than size alone. It reaches a 2,785 mm maximum digging height and 1,860 mm maximum dumping height, giving operators useful clearance for common loading and excavation operations. The 30° gradeability and tracked undercarriage further support operation across varied job-site surfaces. For buyers comparing a compact excavator, small tracked excavator, or compact excavation machine, this configuration offers a practical combination of narrow dimensions, working range, and terrain adaptability.
The main hydraulic control valve is supplied by BEIFANG, while the engine is specified as Kubota, providing a clearly defined component configuration for professional buyers evaluating a Kubota excavator or small hydraulic excavator. For customers reviewing different compact equipment options, the machine can be positioned alongside other mini excavator solutions and tracked construction equipment according to required digging depth, machine width, and operating environment.
