Now with upgraded hydraulics, improved protection, and operator-focused enhancements.
When it comes to compact excavation, the Rippa 15 Eco with enclosed cabin delivers the perfect balance of power and maneuverability.
Designed for contractors, landscapers, and property owners, this 1.5-tonne mini excavator is equipped with a Kubota D722 diesel engine, ensuring fuel efficiency and a long lifespan.
The latest Rippa R15 Eco Enclosed Cab Mini Excavator comes with a series of intelligent upgrades designed to improve performance, safety, and day-to-day usability in the field.
Built around the reliability of the Kubota diesel engine, this new version adds stronger hydraulics, cleaner routing, better visibility, and more operator comfort.
What’s New in the 2025 R15 Eco Enclosed Cab
1. Double Hydraulic System for Advanced Attachments
The upgraded dual-line hydraulic system delivers stronger, smoother flow — perfect for running modern attachments like augers, breakers, and hydraulic thumbs with more precision and power.
2. Additional Auxiliary Line + Protected Routing
This model adds an extra auxiliary line for advanced attachment compatibility.
All hydraulic lines are now hidden within a redesigned channel, giving them significantly better protection from brush, debris, and accidental damage.
3. ISO / SAE Switchable Control Mode
Operators can instantly switch between ISO or SAE patterns with a simple touch—ideal for mixed crews or rental-style environments where preferences differ.
4. Softer, Smoother Pedals
Pedals controlling the hydraulic thumb and swing boom have been re-engineered for softer, more responsive feel. This means less foot fatigue and more precise operation in tight spaces.
5. Added Quick-Hitch Lock Button (Safety Upgrade)
A new lock button ensures the quick-hitch system stays secure during operation. This reduces accidental releases and gives operators more peace of mind when working with heavy attachments.
6. Improved Visibility: Mirrors + Additional Lighting
-
Exterior mirrors provide better awareness around the machine — essential for tight job sites.
-
A new front work light improves evening visibility and boosts overall safety when working at dawn, dusk, or indoors.
7. Enhanced Engine Bay Isolation
The engine compartment now includes additional insulation—reducing cabin noise and lowering heat transfer for a more comfortable operator experience.
8. Upgraded Windows (Improved Ventilation)
Cab windows now slide open smoothly, allowing natural airflow and better communication with ground crew when needed.
