Excavator 1.6 Tonne

Excavator 1.6 Tonne Takeuchi TB216

Excavator – 1.6 Tonne

We have over 200 of these diggers in the Eagle Plant fleet regularly on hire. The 1.6-Tonne Excavator is one of our most popular machines. Amongst the range, you can hire either the reliable compact Takeuchi TB216 or the hard-working mini Kubota U17-3. Take the work out of digging, both machines are resilient and compact, so suitable for those difficult sites with access issues, but productivity is maximised with only the best machines. Each one is serviced, maintained, and rigorously tested to ensure operator comfort, all-around visibility, safety, and performance.

Takeuchi TB216

A compact excavator that still delivers excellent balance and stability even with one of the longest track frames in a small digger. This is because it has an extendable track frame that allows access to difficult sites, but can be easily extended with bolt-on extensions.

It offers a digging depth of up to 2390mm, a dump height of 2705mm, and a ground level reach to 4035mm.

Kubota U17-3 

The other 1.6-Tonne excavator in our range, this mini digger is great for those difficult sites, thanks to its smaller size. This excavator has no tail swing, for maximum safety in those tight spaces, as well as Kubota’s reliable D902-E4-BH-3EU engine that delivers powerful performance every time, as well as low vibrations for operator comfort. An extended dozer length optimises the distance between the dozer and the bucket, making it easier to collect soil close to the machine. Confirming that this machine is built for smaller, tight site work.

It offers a digging depth of up to 2310mm, and a ground level reach to 3840mm.
