LiuGong’s trio of new mini excavators – the 9018F, 9027FZTS, and 9035EZTS

With a new push into the rental market, LiuGong is staging the North American market unveiling of three mini excavators, all suited for the tight spaces that come with utility and landscape work.

Both the 1.9tonne 9018F and the 2.75tonne 9027FZTS (zero tail swing) compact excavators are part of LiuGong’s sixth generation of excavators. Offering bucket capacities of 0.045m³ and 0.08m³ respectively, the models are powered by Yanmar engines and equipped with load sensing hydraulics, said to ensure smooth and precise operations. The engines are equipped with auto-idle and auto shutdown, combined with variable flow proportional auxiliary hydraulics, making the excavators powerful whilst energy-saving.

The 9018F is a standard configuration length model with retractable undercarriage and a foldable dozer blade, enabling the machine to pass through a narrow space. It is easy for operators to load and unload from trailers. It is also equipped with standard boom and dozer cylinder guards.

The 9018F, 9027FZTS, and fellow new model, the 3.86tonne 9035EZTS, are available with open TOPS (Tip-Over Protective Structures) cab or closed ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structures) cab. They feature two-speed travel and can be easily shifted by the switch in the dozer blade joystick. The attachment flow can be adjusted through the operator monitor and the boom swing controlled through a thumb switch.
