The Kubota 5.5T Excavator is a mini excavator built for manoeuvrability on tight job sites. Its zero/near-zero tail swing allows the operator to work comfortably close to fences, walls and structures, while a dig depth of up to 3900mm covers trenching, footings and general excavation work.

It’s a strong fit for sites with underground pipes or gas lines, where precision matters more than raw power, and it’s easily moved between sites on a trailer thanks to its compact size and lighter weight.

The Kubota 5.5T Excavator comes ready for trenching, digging and landscaping work in confined spaces. Its zero/near-zero tail swing footprint means it can operate safely close to boundaries and existing structures without the clearance a larger machine would need.

It supports a wide range of attachments – from hydraulic hammers and augers to grabs, screens and compaction tools — making it adaptable across excavation, demolition and site prep tasks. Lower fuel consumption than a full-size excavator also makes it a practical choice for shorter hires.
