KAISAN KN18 1.8T Industrial Micro Digger: Compact Engineering for Global Projects

The KAISAN KN18 is a versatile 1.8-ton crawler excavator designed for demanding work in confined urban areas, landscaping projects, and utility construction. Combining a reinforced structure with excellent maneuverability, it delivers an ideal balance of digging power, operating flexibility, and overall efficiency for maximizing productivity on every job site.

Core Technical Systems & Performance

Advanced Power Core (Yanmar Integrated) Powered by the Japanese-engineered Yanmar 3TNV70 diesel engine, rated at 10.3 kW, the KN18 delivers reliable power, strong torque, and efficient fuel consumption. Its EPA Tier 4 and Euro Stage V compliance makes it well suited for demanding long-hour operations and global markets.

High-Pressure Hydraulic Logic Featuring a high-performance piston pump system, the KN18 delivers up to 61.6 L/min hydraulic flow at 24.5 MPa, ensuring fast response, smooth multi-function operation, and powerful digging performance for precise excavation work.

Variable Undercarriage Logic The adjustable track frame allows the KN18 to pass through entrances as narrow as 950 mm and expand to 1280 mm for improved stability during heavy digging. Available with durable rubber or reinforced steel track options for different working conditions.

Extended Work Envelope Equipped with a durable 0.045 m³ bucket, the KN18 offers up to 3.8 m horizontal reach and 2.2 m maximum digging depth, delivering strong excavation performance for its compact 1.8-ton class.

Reliability & Smart Maintenance Features

• Adaptive Dual-Speed Drive: Two travel speeds of 2.2 km/h and 4.2 km/h provide strong low-speed traction and fast site mobility, while the 10 rpm swing speed ensures quick and responsive operation.

• Minimal Surface Impact: Just 30 kPa ground pressure helps protect lawns and sensitive surfaces, while a 55° gradeability provides strong performance on steep terrain.

• Extended Operating Time: A 20L diesel tank and 16L hydraulic reservoir provide longer working intervals and help reduce refueling and service downtime.

• Easy Daily Maintenance: A grease-cylinder track tensioner enables quick track adjustment, while accessible service points simplify routine fluid checks and inspections.

Target Industry Solutions The KAISAN KN18 serves as the primary compact asset for rental groups and professional contractors in:

1. Urban Utility Work: Precise trenching for electrical cables, fiber optics, and plumbing in narrow, confined spaces.

2. Specialized Landscaping: Precise soil grading, light forestry work, and residential garden construction.

3. Confined Demolition: Compact enough for indoor floor removal, concrete breaking, and renovation work in restricted spaces.
