Kubota U55 Mini Excavator

Equipment Overview

The Kubota U55 is a 5.47-tonne mini excavator combining power for demanding tasks with the versatility to work in any condition, designed with excellent stability for efficient operation even where space is confined. Two auxiliary hydraulic circuits come as standard with precise oil flow control, and an Auto-Shift system enables automatic travel shift from high to low depending on traction force and terrain, achieving smoother operation when dozing and turning. A tight tail swing model is also available, proving extremely versatile in confined-space operations.

Power comes from a Kubota V2607 engine producing 45.2 net hp, designed to maximise digging and lifting performance while minimising noise and vibration. Bucket digging force reaches around 49.7 kN, letting operators dig faster and more efficiently even in the toughest conditions. Kubota’s improved 3-pump load-sensing hydraulic system ensures smoother operation regardless of load size, and the powerful, well-balanced arm and bucket handle demanding work with confidence.
