Description
RIPPA R15 ECO Mini Excavator
Compact 1.5-ton diesel excavator for trenching, drainage, landscaping, property maintenance, material handling, and tight-access work.
Compact Access. 1.5-Ton Capability.
The R15 ECO combines proven Kubota diesel power with expandable tracks, a swing boom, hydraulic quick coupler, hydraulic thumb, and dual auxiliary hydraulics in a compact 3,300 lb platform.
Kubota Diesel Power
The liquid-cooled Kubota D722 three-cylinder diesel engine delivers dependable torque, efficient operation, and proven service support. The open engine compartment provides convenient access to routine maintenance points.
Expandable Tracks
Retract the undercarriage for confined access, then expand it for a wider and more stable working footprint.
- 35.5 in minimum machine width
- 47.7 in maximum expanded width
- Rubber tracks help reduce surface damage
- Stable stance for digging and lifting
Extra-Wide 9-Inch Tracks
The 9-inch rubber tracks provide a larger footprint for improved traction, flotation, and stability while helping reduce disturbance on finished surfaces.
- Improved ground contact
- Better flotation on softer surfaces
- Stable stance across varied work positions
- Durable rubber track design
Swing Boom for Tight-Space Digging
Offset the digging arm without repositioning the entire machine—useful along foundations, fences, walls, drainage lines, and narrow work zones.
- Dig close to structures and boundaries
- Reduce unnecessary machine repositioning
- Place spoil more precisely
- Maintain a compact working footprint
Quick Coupler, Hydraulic Thumb & Hook
Change compatible attachments faster, grip logs and debris with the hydraulic thumb, and use the integrated hook for approved lifting tasks within the machine’s rated limits.
- Hydraulic attachment changes
- Hydraulic gripping control
- Useful for rocks, brush, logs, and cleanup
- Integrated lifting hook
Dual Auxiliary Hydraulics
Two auxiliary hydraulic connections support compatible powered attachments and give the operator more ways to use the machine.
- Run compatible augers
- Operate hydraulic breakers
- Support powered specialty attachments
- Convenient boom-mounted connections
Operator-Focused Controls
Pilot joysticks, dedicated travel controls, and a protective front guard keep essential machine functions within easy reach while supporting smooth and precise operation.
- Smooth pilot joystick control
- Dedicated left and right travel controls
- Protective front guard
- Open canopy visibility
Folding Dozer Blade
Use the dozer blade for backfilling, grading, site cleanup, and stabilizing the machine. Folding blade extensions follow the expandable undercarriage for narrow access or a wider working stance.
- Grade and level material
- Backfill trenches
- Fold for narrow access
- Support stable digging setup
