Kubota D902 diesel engine

The R18 PRO is fitted with a liquid-cooled Kubota D902 three-cylinder diesel engine. Around 11.8 kW (15.8 hp) of power suits a wide range of digging and earthmoving work. The engine and hydraulic system together handle both routine digging and jobs that call for longer continuous operation.

More dig depth in a compact excavator

One of the R18 PRO's strengths is a dig depth of up to about 2,420 mm. That opens up trenching, foundations, drainage, utilities and other deeper digging work. Combined with a transport width of around 989 mm, this working range makes it useful on sites where the ratio of machine size to capability matters.

Compact and manoeuvrable

The R18 PRO is built for work where space is limited. Its design makes it easy to manoeuvre between buildings, in yards, gardens, on construction sites and in other narrow work areas. Rubber tracks provide stable travel and suit a range of surfaces, including finished areas where minimising surface damage matters.

Hydraulic system and attachment options

The R18 PRO's hydraulic system is designed for smooth control of the main mechanisms and for working with extra equipment. Several attachment connection points let the excavator adapt to different tasks. With the right attachments, its functionality extends beyond digging to other site maintenance work.

Easy monitoring of operating data

The operator's station has an information display showing the excavator's main operating data. This lets the operator keep an eye on the engine and other systems and notice important changes in time.

Attention to operator safety

The R18 PRO's design includes operator protection features. A protective canopy, guard mesh and warning system help create a safer working environment. Proper use of the safety equipment together with responsible operation makes everyday digging tasks safer.

Rippa R18 PRO - when you need more than compact size

The Rippa R18 PRO pairs a compact excavator design with greater dig depth and versatility. The Kubota D902 diesel engine, rubber-tracked undercarriage, hydraulic capability and a dig depth of over 2.4 m make it suitable for many kinds of work. A practical solution for professionals and private users who need an agile mini excavator with more capability.
