The Bobcat-series KV22 is a 2-ton class zero-tail-swing mini excavator with an operating weight of 1,850 kg. Designed for confined spaces and complex terrain, it is suitable for both agricultural orchard work and municipal engineering projects. The machine features a unibody chassis made of Q355 manganese steel and a robust four-post ROPS canopy, ensuring structural integrity and easy maintenance. Its design mirrors international Bobcat models, featuring a compact zero-tail-swing configuration that allows for operation in tight corners and narrow alleys without the need for frequent repositioning. Power options include the imported Kubota D902 diesel engine or the domestic Laidong 380 engine, delivering a rated power of 11.8 kW.
Paired with a variable displacement piston pump and a load-sensing control valve, the hydraulic system ensures smooth, powerful operation; the machine offers a maximum digging depth of 1,665 mm and a 30° gradeability. The undercarriage is extendable (990–1,240 mm), and the rubber tracks protect road surfaces. A standard dozer blade ensures stability, while the boom swing function enables excavation right up against walls. Highly versatile, the machine supports quick-change attachments for tasks such as excavating, breaking, trenching, timber handling, and desilting. It features intuitive ergonomic controls and an optional enclosed cab with heating. Easy to transport, it is ideal for orchard trenching and fertilizing, landscaping, rural infrastructure, and small-scale municipal maintenance. With low fuel consumption and minimal maintenance costs, it represents a cost-effective choice for both overseas retail markets and domestic small-scale engineering projects.
