New Kubota U56-5 GL Standard Cabin Mini Excavator
Proportional Hydraulic Versatility, Fuel-Saving Intelligence & Heavyweight Digging Power. The Kubota U56-5 GL Standard Specification is an incredibly versatile and cost-effective 5.6-tonne class machine designed for high-productivity earthmoving, landscaping, and standard utility works. Featuring a tight tail swing radius for safe operation in confined developments, this model is fitted with ground-friendly **Rubber Tracks** to ensure smooth mobility across finished tarmac, block paving, and sensitive turf.

Equipped with a factory **Extended Long Arm** for deeper excavations and configured with a **Single Proportional Hydraulic Auxiliary Line (AUX 1)** controlled smoothly via a joystick thumb slider, the U56-5 GL Standard is the ideal, reliable workhorse for Island fleets and owner-operators alike.
