HX12 1.2 Ton Excavator

HX12 – 1.2 Ton Mini Excavator

The HIXEN HX12 is a 1.2 ton mini excavator engineered for jobs where space is tight but performance still matters. With a total width of just 880mm and a compact 2650mm length, the HX12 can move through narrow gates, fences, and indoor doorways that larger machines simply can’t reach. It’s the natural step up from our 0.8 ton HX08, giving you more digging depth and reach while staying light enough for trailer towing with a small SUV or pickup.

Key Features

• Compact & Maneuverable – 880mm body width and a 1190mm minimum turning radius let the HX12 work in backyards, basements, and confined construction sites with ease.
• Flexible Engine Options – Choose from KOOP, Kubota D722, or Briggs & Stratton engines depending on your budget and regional parts availability.
• Solid Digging Performance – Max digging depth of 1650mm and max digging height of 2490mm, with a 0.025m³ bucket capacity suited for small trenching and material handling tasks.
• Strong Climbing Ability – 30° climbing gradient handles uneven or sloped terrain on residential and landscaping job sites.
• Easy to Transport – Light enough to load onto a small trailer, making the HX12 ideal for rental fleets, landscapers, and homeowners who need to move the machine between sites frequently.
