Product Introduction
Versatile Compact Excavator with Side Swing
The QK18KXS-C is a lightweight, maneuverable mini excavator designed for efficient performance in confined construction and utility applications. Weighing just 980 kg with a 0.03 m³ bucket capacity, this agile machine delivers solid digging capabilities including a maximum depth of 1,693 mm, lifting height of 2,560 mm, and unloading height of 1,800 mm. Its impressive 3,060 mm digging radius enables productive work cycles with minimal repositioning. With a travel speed of 0-1.8 km/h and 15% climbing ability, the QK18KXS-C navigates varied terrain effectively, making it ideal for residential landscaping, indoor renovations, and municipal maintenance tasks.
Reliable Kubota Gasoline Power
Powering the QK18KXS-C is a dependable Kubota gasoline engine producing 10.2 kW of maximum output. The fan-cooled design ensures consistent thermal performance across diverse operating conditions, while gasoline fuel provides convenient accessibility and reduced emissions for environmentally sensitive work areas. The excavator features a 6.6-liter fuel tank paired with a 10-liter hydraulic oil tank, delivering an optimized power-to-fluid ratio for efficient operation and extended service intervals. This robust powertrain combination guarantees responsive performance and lower maintenance costs for professional contractors and equipment rental fleets.
Standard Side Swing for Enhanced Flexibility
The QK18KXS-C distinguishes itself with standard 30° side swing functionality, enabling the boom to offset left and right for working flush against walls, obstacles, and in tight corners without machine repositioning. Compact dimensions—2,925 mm length, 958 mm width, and 2,422 mm height—ensure easy trailer transport and access to restricted job sites. The integrated 907 mm by 200 mm bulldozer blade provides effective backfilling and grading capability. This thoughtful combination of side swing versatility, Kubota reliability, and compact portability makes the QK18KXS-C an excellent choice for operators seeking maximum maneuverability in space-constrained environments.

Applications
Landscaping & Greenery Enhancement
Navigate effortlessly through 1.2-meter gates and work with precision around delicate gardens and turf. Execute accurate tree-root excavations, install shallow drainage systems for rain gardens, and seamlessly remove existing sod for instant lawn replacement. The compact design and precise hydraulic control minimize impact on surrounding landscape.
Utility & Irrigation Trenching
Efficiently install water, gas, fiber optic, and irrigation networks with a 2.4-meter digging capability that exceeds regional frost depths. A 400-mm bucket ensures consistent trench dimensions for rapid backfilling, while the side-swing boom maintains alignment with pathways and pavements.
Indoor & Low-Clearance Tasks
Move smoothly through standard doorways on protective rubber tracks, safeguarding interior surfaces. Conduct basement excavations, remove interior concrete slabs using a hydraulic breaker, and perform maintenance in parking structures with as little as 2.3 meters of overhead clearance.
Roadside & Municipal Repairs
Execute sidewalk repairs, pothole preparations, and signpost installations quickly within coned-off work areas. Zero-tail-swing capability keeps the machine safely within lanes, and dual-speed travel (0–4 km/h) supports efficient crew-paced workflows.
Waterway & Environmental Maintenance
Interchange attachments to utilize a 600-mm ditching blade or hydraulic rake. Perform silt removal from irrigation channels without draining, place rip-rap for erosion control, and dismantle thin concrete structures while loading debris directly into trucks.
Packaging & Shipping
Engineered for Secure Transit
Each unit is mounted onto a corrosion-resistant galvanized steel frame, then sealed within multi-layered, UV-resistant barrier film. This system provides complete defense against dust, humidity, and salt spray, preserving the machine’s surfaces, hydraulics, and components in factory-fresh condition throughout the shipping process.
Streamlined Container Loading
Built-in loading ramps and forklift guides enable a single operator to efficiently load the machine into standard shipping containers without additional pallets or assembly. Once positioned, heavy-duty ISO-compliant lashing systems with corner tensioners securely anchor the undercarriage, eliminating all movement during sea and rail transport.
