Shantui

The SE12 is a 1.2 t class micro excavator built for smooth, safe and easy operation. The side-swing boom and retractable undercarriage let it dig right up to walls and foundations, in trenches and inside buildings where no larger machine will go.
It is a fit for tight landscaping, farm drainage, municipal maintenance and indoor renovation work where footprint matters more than reach.
A three-pump hydraulic system balances flow. Auxiliary lines are standard and switch between single- and double-acting circuits, so mechanical and tilt quick couplers, breakers and thumbs can all be driven.
The machine is CE certified by TÜV Rheinland. The boom cylinder is mounted on top to avoid impact damage to the barrel.
The side-swing boom digs right into wall corners, and the retractable undercarriage squeezes through narrow openings. A foldable guard frame meets TOPS protection requirements.
Legroom is up 40% compared with the previous size class, and the seat slides forward and back to suit different operators.
