AX-17J | 23 HP B&S Engine 1.6 Ton Mini Excavator with Swing Boom & Enclosed Cab
Description
Compact and straightforward, the AX-17J is a 1.6-tonne mini excavator running a 23 HP Briggs & Stratton engine designed for trenching, footings and landscape work.
Description Whether you're digging in tight spaces or maneuvering around obstacles, this 1.6-ton mini excavator by AHM provides the power and precision you need. The 23 hp EPA engine of our crawler machine delivers consistent performance, while the side swing offers 45° left and 55° right movement to maximize your reach and efficiency. The pilot-operated hydraulic controls ensure you can operate with accuracy, even for the most delicate tasks.
The swing boom offsets sideways, letting the operator dig hard against a wall, fence or foundation without repositioning the tracks. A full cab makes all-weather working practical rather than merely possible. Rubber tracks spread the weight, so the machine can cross lawns, block paving and soft ground without wrecking the surface.
Common jobs include utility trenching, foundation digging, landscape reshaping, and site clearance where lorries and larger machines cannot get in.
This class is the common compromise for contractors: more dig and lift than a micro machine, still straightforward to move between sites.
