RE17 1.7 Ton Mini Excavator | Narrow Access Compact Crawler Digger RIGID
product Introduction
RE17 1.7 Ton Mini Excavator – Narrow Access Compact Crawler Mini Digger Built specifically for confined residential and municipal jobs that larger mini diggers cannot reach, this RE17 1.7 ton mini excavator stands out for its ultra-narrow 1055mm transport width and flexible swing arm structure. Unlike 2-ton or bigger compact excavators that require wide entry ways, this unit rolls through regular garden gates, backyard fences and tight urban alleyways without tearing pavement or fencing.
Powered by genuine Japan Yanmar 3TNV74F water-cooled diesel engine, the machine fully meets EURO 5 and EPA Tier 4 emission standards, gaining CE certification for legal sales across Europe, North America and Southeast Asia. Its dedicated 17MPa hydraulic system delivers steady digging force while cutting hourly fuel usage, perfect for small contractors, private landscapers and rental business owners with limited daily operation budgets.
The left 50° / right 70° swing boom is the core highlight of this compact crawler digger. Operators can dig alongside house walls, basement edges and narrow trench sides without rotating the whole machine, greatly reducing site space requirements. Factory pre-installed hydraulic breaker pipelines eliminate later modification costs, and universal quick coupler supports augers, timber grapples, trench buckets and demolition hammers to finish trenching, tree planting, small demolition and farm land leveling with one single machine. Every RE17 unit passes five rounds of factory running-in testing before shipment, backed by a full 12-month warranty covering all core engine and hydraulic components.

Core Unique Design Advantages
1. Ultra-Narrow 1055mm Body for Residential Access
Most 1.8-2 ton mini excavators exceed 1200mm in width and cannot pass standard 1.1m household gates, while this RE17 model's compact chassis fits through regular garden and courtyard entrances. It avoids dismantling fences or gates before construction, saving property owners extra renovation fees and shortening project cycle for landscaping teams.
2. Bidirectional Swing Boom for Wall-Adjacent Digging
The unique offset arm design allows digging within 0.3m of building facades without rotating the full crawler base. For basement excavation, pipeline trenching beside houses and backyard foundation work, operators finish tight-space jobs efficiently without damaging wall surfaces or exterior decoration.
3. Low-Pressure Rubber Tracks Protect Pavement
Standard wide rubber tracks disperse machine weight to only 32Kpa ground pressure. It drives smoothly on lawns, concrete driveways and paved streets without leaving deep ruts or cracks, a critical advantage for residential renovation and municipal sidewalk maintenance projects. Steel tracks are optional for rocky demolition sites.
4. Easy Access Engine Compartment for Daily Maintenance
The fully open rear hood exposes the engine, oil filter and hydraulic valve block in one step. Small-scale rental shop owners or private operators complete oil replacement and filter cleaning within 20 minutes without professional repair tools, lowering long-term maintenance labor costs.
Regional Market Fit
Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia)
Local residential renovation and fruit farm landscaping businesses favor this model for its slim chassis. Narrow rural dirt roads and small orchard walkways cannot accommodate larger diggers, while the Yanmar engine has abundant spare parts across regional hardware stores. The lightweight body also cuts small pickup truck transport expenses for individual contractors.
Africa (Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania)
Small village infrastructure teams and family crop farms choose the RE17 for its affordable entry cost and simple hydraulic layout that local mechanics can repair without overseas technical support. The rubber tracks prevent sinking on rainy season muddy farmland, and single-unit MOQ supports small cooperative group purchases.
Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia)
Villa landscaping and backyard swimming pool construction contractors rely on this narrow digger. We offer optional dust-proof engine air filters to resist desert sand, and the compact size allows indoor basement demolition work for luxury villa renovation projects.
Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Peru)
City residential remodelers and small nursery operators pick this machine for standard 40HQ container loading without disassembly. Its low overall weight reduces ocean freight surcharges compared with 2-ton excavators, fitting small business limited annual equipment budgets.
