HT10B 1-Ton Mini Excavator: Built for Practical Fleet Procurement

Aug 27, 2026

For a rental company, buying a mini excavator is a fleet decision rather than simply a machine purchase.

The equipment needs to reach more job sites, handle common customer requirements and remain easy to transport between projects.

The HT10B 1-ton mini excavator has become a long-running model for rental companies, landscaping businesses and small construction teams because its configuration focuses on these everyday requirements.

A Small Excavator Designed Around Transport and Access

The HT10B has an operating weight of 1,000 kg and an overall size of 2775 × 930 × 2219 mm.

Its track width is adjustable between 830 mm and 1000 mm.

This gives fleet operators two practical working configurations.

At 830 mm, the machine is narrower for access through farmyard gates, residential passages and basement entrances.

At 1000 mm, the wider stance provides greater working stability.

The machine uses 180 mm rubber tracks, with low ground pressure for work around lawns and tiled surfaces.

For companies moving machines between customers, the 1,000 kg operating weight also helps simplify transport arrangements.

One Machine, Several Small-Job Applications

The HT10B is intended for work where a full-size excavator would be unnecessary or difficult to position.

Its working range includes:

  • Digging depth: up to 1,650 mm
  • Ground digging radius: up to 2,850 mm
  • Digging height: up to 2,610 mm
  • Dumping height: up to 1,850 mm
  • Boom swing: 60° left and right
  • Standard bucket: 0.025 m³

This configuration supports common small-scale excavation, trenching, grading and earthmoving applications.

The 60° boom side swing is particularly useful for work alongside walls and foundation pits, where repeatedly repositioning the complete machine can reduce working efficiency.

Compact Tail Design for Tight Working Areas

The rear swing radius is 784 mm.

This compact rear profile is valuable when the excavator must operate close to buildings, walls or other obstacles.

Combined with the retractable undercarriage, the HT10B is designed to address two common restrictions at the same time:

limited access and limited working clearance.

That combination is particularly relevant to equipment rental fleets because different customers may have very different site conditions.

Engine Options for Different Markets

The standard engine is a Changchai single-cylinder air-cooled engine rated at 8.2 kW.

For buyers requiring alternative configurations, the HT10B can also be equipped with KOOP, Briggs & Stratton or Yanmar engine options.

This allows distributors and export buyers to select configurations according to their market requirements, including domestic and European/American export needs.

Hydraulic Components Matter for High-Frequency Rental Use

Rental machines can experience frequent operating cycles, so hydraulic system configuration is an important purchasing consideration.

The HT10B uses a Japanese main pump, with an Italian main valve, travel motor and swing motor.

The hydraulic configuration supports smooth machine movement and combined operations.

For fleet operators, this configuration is intended for repeated use while keeping the machine practical to maintain.

Supporting Work Beyond Excavation

The HT10B can also perform basic site preparation work.

The dozer blade provides 345 mm lifting and 255 mm digging capability, allowing it to assist with leveling and cleanup.

Depending on the working environment, buyers can select an optional sun canopy or enclosed cab.

This makes the machine adaptable to different customer requirements without changing its core compact configuration.

Why It Makes Sense for Bulk Buyers

The purchasing logic for a rental company is different from that of an individual contractor.

A fleet machine needs to be:

  1. Easy to place on different job sites.
  2. Compact enough for customers with restricted access.
  3. Capable of handling common small excavation tasks.
  4. Practical to transport.
  5. Supported by suitable components and spare parts.

The HT10B addresses these points through its 830–1000 mm retractable track, 1,000 kg operating weight, compact rear swing radius and practical digging range.

For buyers planning fleet expansion, the HT10B is available for bulk orders, with tiered pricing for larger quantities and stock availability.
