The ZL-17 1.2 ton mini excavator is designed for landscaping, farms, trenching, drainage, utility installation and small construction projects. With an 18 kW diesel engine, 1940 mm maximum digging depth and 3380 mm digging radius, it provides stronger excavation capability while maintaining compact dimensions for small and limited-access job sites.
The ZL-17 1.2 ton mini excavator is a compact diesel-powered crawler machine developed for routine excavation and maintenance work where stronger digging capability and practical maneuverability are both important.
Compared with lighter micro excavators, the ZL-17 provides a larger working envelope and increased excavation capability while remaining suitable for small-site operation and transport.
Its crawler undercarriage and compact machine structure provide a practical platform for everyday digging, while optional cab, air-conditioning, chassis-extension and attachment configurations can be selected according to working requirements.
Provides extended working reach for excavation tasks where reducing frequent machine repositioning can improve efficiency.
Provides useful vertical working range for excavation, loading and routine material handling.
Allows excavated soil and loose material to be discharged into nearby piles and suitable loading positions.
Supports more vertical excavation for trench walls and digging tasks requiring controlled working geometry.
Provides useful arm digging force for controlled excavation, trench shaping and material movement.
The standard bucket capacity is suitable for routine digging, trench preparation and light material handling work.
The ZL-17 can be used for a range of routine excavation and site-maintenance tasks where stronger digging capability and compact machine access can improve working efficiency.
Suitable for underground trenches used for water pipes, electrical cables and other small utility installations.
Can assist with digging and reshaping drainage channels around farms, properties and construction areas.
Practical for planting pits, irrigation work and other routine excavation tasks on farms and agricultural sites.
Suitable for light foundation excavation and ground preparation for small structures and site improvements.
Useful for removing soil, preparing compact work areas and completing general small-site excavation tasks.
Can assist with routine digging, grading preparation and maintenance around residential, agricultural and commercial properties.
