New Kubota U18-3a VHGL F1 Long Arm Mini
Excavator
Extended Working Range, Premium Stability & Conventional
Power. The Kubota 1.8-tonne mini excavator is built to conquer
demanding utilities, commercial civil engineering, and hard landscaping
installations. This specific configuration features a factory-fitted **Extended
Long Arm (L)**, delivering enhanced digging depths and extended loading
clearance without sacrificing lifting performance. Built with a hydraulic
**Variable Track Gauge (VHG)**, the tracks glide seamlessly from a slim 990mm
width for tight site accesses and alleyways, up to a broad 1,300mm footprint for
rock-solid stability. Configured with an open canopy architecture (F1) and
standard single-line auxiliary hydraulic piping, the U18 represents the peak of
performance for operators tracking high-efficiency earthmoving
outputs.
