Tracked conventional excavator ET18: More options, even when things get tight.

The ET18 mini-excavator is the right compact excavator where space is limited and expectations are high. The adjustable telescopic travel gear allows for narrow passages and ensures stability, making it adaptable to any situation. The load-sensing hydraulics deliver sensitive control for attachments. Auto-idle, joystick control, and pressure release from the cab reduce setup times and increase operator safety. VDS keeps the machine level – ideal for slopes or curbs – ensuring optimal results in a comfortable, upright seated position, even when working on inclines. Flexible with simple crane loading via two lifting points on the cab or canopy.

Parallel operable control circuits AUX II &

  • A new standard in this class: AUX II & AUX III (H2 & H3) can be connected simultaneously, allowing attachments like Powertilt and grapples to be selected and operated directly with a simple push of the joystick button.
  • For the user, this means noticeably more speed, fewer manual operations and a completely new level of operating convenience, because the workflow is no longer interrupted by tedious changeovers.
  • A real wow experience for anyone who has previously had to work with compromises.

Hydraulic telescopic travel gear with dozer blade extension

  • The hydraulically telescoped travel gear with a max. outer width of 1300 mm gives stability. In no time, it can be retracted to a width of 990 mm. With the foldable dozer blade extension, this makes individual adjustment to the job site conditions possible. Meanwhile, the extension elements are always connected to the machine and thus do not get lost.

Enormously high performance thanks to single-pump hydraulic system

  • The single-pump hydraulic system ensures a constantly high and cleanly controllable quantity of oil on all circuits - without pressure fluctuations and without loss of power, even with parallel movements.
  • As a result, the excavator works noticeably more smoothly, reacts more precisely and delivers full power to the Powertilt, grapple and undercarriage at all times.
  • The result: a much more harmonious operating feel and an efficiency that is immediately noticeable.

Comfort that noticeably increases performance

  • The spacious cab with plenty of legroom, adjustable armrests and efficient high-volume air circulation creates a permanently pleasant working climate - supported by the powerful air conditioning system. Cup holders, shelves, a cell phone holder and USB port ensure that everything important remains within easy reach.
  • The optimized cab design offers an exceptionally clear field of vision, making precise work easier. The innovative windshield system with four opening options ensures maximum transparency at all times.
  • The intuitive jog dial system allows central functions to be controlled quickly and logically. Pressure release at the touch of a button speeds up tool changes and makes the entire workflow noticeably smoother.

VDS Vertical Digging System

  • The vertical digging system compensates for slopes of up to 10 degrees, making it possible to vertically excavate on a slope. This is not only ergonomic for the operator, but it also saves time and also means less excavated material.
  • Up to 25 percent material and time savings when excavating and filling. Safe working and higher stability in sloping spaces.
  • The same swing power over 360 degrees allows fatigue-free work with the seat position remaining the same.

More Features

autostop function

Auto-stop function

  • To avoid unnecessary diesel consumption, or to reduce the operating hours of the machine, it is possible for the operator to activate the Auto-Stop function. This reduces fuel consumption and protects the environment. Furthermore, unnecessary operating hours and service costs are avoided, and as a result the resale value of the machine is increased.

Auto 2 speed transmission

  • The Auto 2 speed transmission automatically regulates 2 driving speeds. The 1st gear is also manually lockable. This means more comfort specially during grading work, to maintain higher speed and to prevent changing to the lower gear.
EZ26 JogDial system

Jog dial

  • The jog dial system, familiar from the automotive area, including a clear display, allows intuitive selection of the right operating settings via a press-push button as well as various settings via a keypad. ECO mode is the standard mode for efficient and fuel-saving work; HI mode stands for maximum pump performance and fast, powerful work and LOW mode for extremely precise, sensitive work.

Thermal resistance

  • The excavator can work under full load up to an ambient temperature of 45°C/113°F. The stable temperature level results in a longer service life for the hydraulic components and increases productivity.
  • Lower temperature level - longer life, work without loss of performance.

Auto idling system

  • The automatic RPM speed reduces fuel consumption and emissions to a minimum, by automatically throttling down to idling speed if no control elements are actuated for longer than five seconds.

2 lifting eyes on the roof

  • The machine can be moved very easily and without any problems on the construction site using a crane. Loading and unloading the excavator from the truck can also be done quickly.

Up to 5 additional control circuits ex work

  • Thanks to the optional additional control circuits, our excavators can be equipped with a variety of attachments. This allows for more application possibilities and increased utilization of the excavator.

Hydraulic joystick operation

  • The ergonomic and sturdy joysticks, which work completely proportionally, expand the functions and possibilities for controlling the excavator. The operator can carry out movements more precisely and work with increased concentration.

Easy transportation by car trailer

  • With the car trailer to the next construction site? No problem - the low weight enables transportation including attachment tools using a 3.5 t trailer.

Compact dimensions

  • High safety during transportation, cost and time savings, high flexibility. The excavator scores points with its low entry height, small external dimensions thanks to intelligent component arrangement and ensures greater stability thanks to its low center of gravity.
  • Whether for transportation or in confined spaces: Thanks to its compact design, the excavator can be easily transported to the next job site. And on the construction site, the machine can get anywhere quickly and easily, even in confined spaces - for high efficiency in every application.

Easy service and maintenance access

  • Easy service, thanks to wide-opening engine hood, allows easy access to all parts.
  • No disassembly of heavy parts necessary, additional easily replaceable wear parts.
  • Quick and unrestricted access. Hydraulic and engine oil filters, air filter, water separator and also the tank filler neck are ideally accessible. Low service costs.
