Mini Excavators

Compact RIPPA excavators for landscaping, utilities, trenching and tight-access sites.

10 Mini Excavators

RIPPA excavators run from the 747 kg (1,647 lb) R06 ECO that fits through a doorway, to the 8-tonne R82 PRO and the full-size 21.5-tonne R230. ECO models are the value pick for homeowners and rentals; PRO models add Kubota power, stronger hydraulics, enclosed cabs and the safety features contractors expect. Every machine ships with a dozer blade, auxiliary hydraulics and a quick coupler, and shares a common attachment range so you can add buckets, thumbs, augers and breakers as the work grows.

Mini Excavators FAQ

Questions we hear most before people buy. Call 289-271-6947 for anything else.

Ask a specialist
ECO or PRO — what's the difference?
ECO models are the value option: gas or Kubota diesel, canopy standard, simpler hydraulics. PRO models add Kubota power on every unit, stronger digging force, TOPS/ROPS certification, explosion-proof valves and enclosed cab options. Both share the same attachment range.
Which excavator fits through my gate?
The R06 ECO (2' 5" (29")), R13 PRO (2' 9" (33")), R10 ECO (3' (36")), R15 ECO (3' 3" (39")) and R18 PRO (3' 3" (39")) are all under one metre wide at their minimum track setting. The R22 PRO is 4' 3" (51") and the R32 PRO is 5' 1" (61").
Can I tow one behind my pickup?
Anything up to the R18 PRO (about 1,900 kg (4,189 lb)) trailers behind a half-ton with a suitable equipment trailer. The R22 and R32 typically need a 3/4-ton or 1-ton truck. The R57 and R82 are float-delivered.
What attachments come with the machine?
A digging bucket, dozer blade, auxiliary hydraulic lines and a quick coupler. Thumbs, extra buckets, augers and breakers are optional and listed with prices on each product page.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Loans, lease-to-own and seasonal payment plans through our financing partner on approved credit, with periodic promotions on select models. See the Financing page.
