Rippa R18-5 PRO Mini Excavator
A professional level compact excavator for contractors and property owners who need more power, reach, and hydraulic performance.
The Rippa R18-5 PRO 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 R18-5 delivers strong, consistent performance with LUDV load-sensing hydraulics and a variable displacement pump for precise, energy-efficient control — all while remaining compact enough for residential properties and tight construction sites.
With an operating weight of 4,074 lbs and a digging depth of 95.3 inches, the R18-5 provides the reach, breakout force, and versatility needed for utility trenching, foundation excavation, drainage installation, and heavy landscaping. Dual auxiliary hydraulics come standard, and the EASY LOCK quick hitch enables attachment changes in under 30 seconds. A popular choice for contractors who rely on a compact excavator daily, and a major productivity upgrade for homeowners managing larger rural properties or land over 15 acres.
