Shandong Tiankun Machinery has released a new "Panda" series of ultra compact excavators, defining a new standard for the 1-ton market
Jining, Shandong, July 23, 2025- Shandong Tiankun Machinery Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer of small construction machinery, officially released its latest research and development of the "Panda" series of high-end small excavators today. This model is positioned in the 1-ton market (with a total weight of 750kg), aiming to meet the high-end operational needs of extremely confined spaces such as urban courtyards, greenhouses, and narrow alleys with its ultimate compact design, flexible performance, and reliable quality.
The naming of the "Panda" excavator vividly embodies its product philosophy: agility, preciousness, and outstanding capabilities. Its body size has been carefully optimized, with a total length of only 3150 millimeters and a total width of 940 millimeters, especially with a tail turning radius of only 900 millimeters, achieving a near zero tail turning operation effect. This design allows it to easily navigate through standard doorways, greenhouse corridors, and courtyard paths, freely operating in spaces that were previously inaccessible to machinery.
This model is equipped with an efficient single cylinder air-cooled engine with a displacement of 0.499L and a rated power of 7kW. It provides sufficient power while ensuring low fuel consumption and maintenance costs. The gear pump hydraulic system used has a rated working flow rate of 21L/min, rapid response, and precise operation. The digging force of the boom is 5.5kN, and the digging force of the bucket is 9kN, which is sufficient to handle conventional earthwork, planting ditch excavation, and material handling operations.
The "Panda" excavator has a walking speed of 2.5km/h and a traction force of 15kN, with a climbing ability of up to 30 degrees, and can stably move on uneven terrain such as courtyard slopes and orchard mountains. The swing amplitude of the working device's boom is asymmetric (62.7 ℃ to the left and 49.7 ℃ to the right), providing a more flexible ability for wall sticking operations. The standard configuration bulldozer has both leveling and auxiliary stability functions.
Despite its compact size, the "Panda" series has not sacrificed operational comfort and range. Its maximum excavation height is 2850 millimeters, maximum excavation depth is 1750 millimeters, maximum excavation distance is 3200 millimeters, and its performance parameters comprehensively exceed those of similar products. The exquisite cabin layout and ergonomic control design aim to reduce operator fatigue, improve operational accuracy and efficiency.
We launched the 'Panda' series in response to the growing demand for ultra micro, high-performance construction machinery in the global market, "said the product manager of Tiankun Machinery." It is not only an excavator, but also an intelligent solution to solve the pain points of narrow space construction. We believe that it will redefine the value standard of 1-ton small excavators and become the most capable partner for horticulturists, municipal maintenance personnel, and small contractors
This model is now available for pre order and will be released simultaneously in the global market.
