HT-17Q 1.7 Ton Mini Excavator: Compact, Strong and Easy to Transport
The HONGTAI HT-17Q 1.7 ton mini excavator is the most powerful machine in our compact range. A 24 HP Laidong KM385B diesel and 13.5 kN digging force let it dig to 2,340 mm (7.7 ft), deep enough for foundations, septic systems and utility trenches, while the top-mounted boom cylinder keeps the cylinder clear of rocks and trench walls.
Every HT-17Q is built and tested in our factory and supplied direct to equipment dealers, rental companies, landscapers and contractors worldwide, with OEM branding available.
