Dimensions are guidance only and do not guarantee access or suitability for a particular job.
Made for narrow access
At 990 mm wide with the tracks retracted, the U17-3 can suit many tight residential access jobs. Measure the narrowest actual path before you call, including gates, gate posts, walls, eaves, turns, slopes and ground conditions.
Once access is clear, the tracks can expand to 1,240 mm for added stability where the site and work allow it.
Built for useful work
Zero tail swing helps in tighter work areas. The machine is well suited to trenching, drainage, landscaping, retaining-wall preparation, post holes and general site preparation where its size is right for the work.
