Equipment Overview
The Kubota U48 is a 4.82-tonne mini excavator combining power for demanding tasks with the versatility to work in any condition, designed with excellent stability for efficient operation even in confined spaces. Kubota’s zero-tail swing gives unmatched performance, worry-free 360-degree swing and excellent stability, meaning there are no limits to what operators can achieve in tight spaces. Two auxiliary hydraulic circuits come as standard, with maximum oil flow settings conveniently adjustable from the digital panel.
Power comes from a Kubota V2403-M-DI-E4 engine, a 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel producing 47.6 hp (35.5 kW). Bucket digging force reaches 38 kN and arm digging force 30.2 kN, letting operators dig faster and more efficiently even in the toughest conditions. Kubota’s improved load-sensing hydraulic system ensures smoother operation regardless of load size, and an optional hydraulic angle blade makes grading and backfilling faster and more precise.
