6.5 Ton Mini Excavator

The HT65 6.5 ton mini excavator delivers a balanced mix of reach, lifting force, and transportability in a 6500kg class compact digger. Driven by a 36.6kW Yanmar 498 diesel engine (with Yanmar 494 or Kubota V2607 options available), this crawler machine carries a 0.23m³ standard bucket and produces ample breakout force for trenching, foundation preparation, and utility installation. The 6500kg operating weight places it between the 4-ton/4.5-ton mini excavators and heavier 7.5-ton crawlers, filling a mid-range gap that contractors and rental fleets frequently request.

The HT65 features a full 360 spin swing capability paired with a 12rpm rotation speed, allowing the operator to reposition the bucket between dig and dump points without stopping the swing motion. The 360 spin swing geometry works with a 3071mm maximum digging depth and a 5251mm maximum digging radius, supported by a 5157mm digging height and a 3692mm dumping height. A 706mm platform ground clearance and a 45°/55° body roll capability help the machine stay stable and maneuverable on uneven, sloped, or rough terrain.

Engine Options & Power for the 6.5 Ton Mini Excavator HT65

The HT65 6.5 ton mini excavator offers three engine options to match regional fuel preferences, emissions requirements, and existing fleet service routines—Yanmar 494, Yanmar 498, or Kubota V2607. All three configurations deliver 36.6kW of power, giving operators consistent hydraulic output and breakout force regardless of the chosen powerplant. This engine flexibility is one of the HT65's distinguishing features among compact crawler excavators in the 6-ton class.

The Yanmar option suits fleets already standardized on Yanmar service parts and training, while the Kubota V2607 configuration aligns the HT65 with Kubota-equipped rental yards and operator familiarity. Each engine is paired with the same hydraulic system, so the 360 spin swing capability and cycle times remain consistent across configurations.

Crawler Design: 400mm Crawler Length, 2640mm Crawler Width & Stability Features

The crawler design of the 6.5 ton mini excavator contributes directly to its stability and transportability. The 400mm crawler length paired with a 2640mm crawler width establishes a stable working stance, while the 1780mm body width keeps the machine compact enough for road transport on standard trailers and access through narrow gates. The full 360 spin swing capability works with this stable undercarriage to deliver consistent rotation performance across the working cycle.

A 706mm platform ground clearance allows the HT65 to cross obstacles, uneven fill, and rough terrain without undercarriage contact. The 45° left / 55° right body roll capability helps the machine remain operational on side slopes and uneven ground. Two travel speeds—2.2km/h for fine positioning and 4.2km/h for site transit—balance precision with productivity on multi-point job sites.

Application Scenarios: Where the 360 Spin Swing 6.5 Ton Excavator Works Best

The HT65 360 Spin Swing 6.5 ton mini excavator adapts to a wide range of mid-scale work environments:

  • Municipal infrastructure: water and gas pipeline installation, drainage trenching, culvert maintenance.
  • Foundation engineering: residential building footings, basement excavation, retaining-wall works.
  • Road and bridge works: roadbed leveling, slope finishing, roadside trenching.
  • Utility installation: telecom cable laying, electrical conduit, sewer line construction.
  • Rural and agricultural projects: irrigation canal excavation, pond digging, farm building earthworks.
  • Urban renewal: fenced construction plots, demolition clearing, utility corridor digging in built-up areas.
  • Rental fleets: 6500kg class balances compact transport with heavy-duty capability, making it a versatile rental unit for mixed projects.

Suitable for construction sites, soft-soil zones, side slopes up to 45°/55°, and urban lots where 7.5-ton machines are too large. The 360 spin swing capability is especially useful in narrow trenches and along walls where conventional excavators must reposition to rotate.
