Rippa R18-PRO Mini Excavator
A professional level compact excavator for contractors and property owners who need more power, reach, and hydraulic performance.
The Rippa R18 mini excavator moves into the 1.8 ton class, offering a significant step up in power and stability compared to smaller machines. Powered by the reliable Kubota D902 water cooled diesel engine, the R18 delivers strong, consistent performance while remaining compact enough to access residential properties and tight construction sites.
With an operating weight of around 4,000 lbs and a digging depth of nearly 8 feet, the R18 provides the reach, breakout force, and hydraulic control needed for serious work such as utility trenching, foundation excavation, drainage installation, and heavy landscaping projects. It is a popular choice for contractors who rely on a compact excavator for daily work, but it also makes a major difference for homeowners managing larger rural properties or land over 15 acres, where the additional reach and productivity can save significant time on bigger projects.
