Application Scenarios

Product Description
The QL-18 Excavator is a robust and versatile construction machine engineered for high-performance excavation in space-constrained environments. With an operating weight of 1800 kg, it strikes a perfect balance between heavy-duty stability and the agility required for landscaping, utility repairs, and urban construction projects.
Powered by a potent 18.5 kW engine, the 18U offers significantly higher power than standard micro-excavators, ensuring consistent performance under demanding loads. Its advanced hydraulic system, featuring a Tianjin gear plunger pump and a 22 L/min flow rate, provides a maximum digging force of 10 kN, allowing for efficient penetration in tougher soil conditions.
One of its standout features is the telescopic chassis, which allows the machine to adjust its footprint for enhanced stability or narrow access. With a maximum digging depth of 2000 mm and a reach of 3260 mm, the 18U provides an impressive working envelope. Despite its power, it maintains a compact chassis width of 1100 mm, making it an ideal choice for contractors who need professional-grade digging capabilities in narrow job sites like residential backyards or indoor demolition areas.
Key Advantages
