SJ 18
The SJ18 is one of our most popular mini excavator models, developed for professional users who require higher performance, better versatility and long-term reliability in daily operations.
Powered by a Kubota D722 or Yanmar 374F 3-cylinder diesel engine (Stage V), SJ18 provides strong and stable power output with excellent fuel efficiency and durability. These engines are widely trusted by European customers for their reliability and easy maintenance, making SJ18 suitable for rental fleets, landscaping companies and construction professionals.
Unlike many compact excavators in this class, SJ18 is equipped with a full hydraulic pilot control system for both travel and breaker functions, providing smoother operation, better precision and reduced operator fatigue. This configuration allows users to control digging, traveling and attachments with greater accuracy during long working hours.
The tandem gear pump ensures stable hydraulic flow distribution, allowing multiple functions to operate smoothly at the same time. Combined with the built-in high/low-speed travel motor, SJ18 offers stronger mobility and better adaptability when moving between different job sites or working on uneven terrain.
For durability and protection, SJ18 features a top-mounted boom cylinder with a protective guard, reducing the risk of damage from obstacles during excavation work. The internal swing bearing design provides better protection for key components and contributes to longer service life in demanding working environments.
The boom swing (offset) function allows operators to work closer to walls, fences and other obstacles, improving efficiency in landscaping, utility installation and urban renovation projects. The extendable undercarriage provides excellent flexibility by allowing the machine to enter narrow areas while maintaining stability during operation.
Equipped with integrated breaker piping, SJ18 can quickly connect hydraulic attachments such as breakers, expanding its working capability for different applications.
SJ18 represents the balance between compact size and professional performance. It is not only easy to transport and operate, but also built to deliver reliable performance every day.
For rental companies and contractors, SJ18 is a machine designed to create long-term value, not just complete a single job.
