The ZL-18 1.4 ton mini excavator is designed for trenching, landscaping, drainage, utility installation, farms and small construction projects. With 20 kW diesel power, a maximum digging depth of 2200 mm and a 3330 mm maximum digging radius, it provides practical excavation performance for a wide range of compact job sites.
The ZL-18 1.4 ton mini excavator is a compact diesel-powered crawler machine developed for routine excavation and site-maintenance work where stronger working capability is required without moving to a much larger excavator.
Its crawler undercarriage and compact machine structure provide a practical platform for trench preparation, digging, material handling and other everyday small-site tasks.
The standard machine uses a Changchai 390Q diesel engine, while alternative engine and equipment configurations can be selected according to destination-market and project requirements.
Provides practical vertical working range for excavation, loading and routine material handling tasks.
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.
A compact turning radius helps improve positioning and maneuverability on restricted job sites.
The machine maintains a relatively compact footprint for maneuvering across small construction, agricultural and property work areas.
The standard bucket capacity is suitable for routine digging, trench preparation and light material handling work.
The ZL-18 can be used for a range of everyday excavation and site-preparation tasks where deeper digging capability and compact crawler 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.
Suitable for light foundation excavation and ground preparation for small structures and site improvements.
Useful for removing soil, preparing compact work areas and completing routine excavation before construction or landscaping work.
Practical for irrigation work, planting preparation, drainage maintenance and other digging tasks around farms and rural properties.
Can assist with garden renovation, land preparation and routine excavation around residential and commercial properties.
