Features & Benefits

A small machine packed with big features, the EC15E is the perfect choice when a compact machine is right for your application. Strong and tough with the performance to match, the machine is designed to promote low operating costs.

Compact by design

With a machine width less than 1m, combined with a reduced machine height to less than 2.35m, you can count on the EC15E to deliver superior performance when working in confined spaces. The machine design ensures maximum visibility and a reduced risk of machine damage when working alongside obstacles.

Small but tough

The unique high-profile counterweight design is made from three strong pieces of cast iron which wrap around the rear of the machine, protecting all vital components. All-round steel panels, recessed 10mm from the counterweight, offer further protection.

Transport with ease

Transportation of the machine is safe and secure, thanks to its light weight and convenient design. With automatic slew lock and four easily accessed large tie-down points on the upper frame, the machine can be safely transported on a small trailer with up to three buckets and a hydraulic breaker, while maintaining a total transport weight of less than 2t.

Safe and easy operation

Safety is built-in to the machine with a ROPS/TOPS/FOPS canopy, a large entrance including high visibility step, and an orange seatbelt as standard for easy checks by site managers.

Best-in-class serviceability

Complete maintenance tasks with speed thanks to the hinged fuel tank which enables an impressive ease of access to the engine compartment, and easy to locate daily check points. A 50-hour greasing interval further contributes towards the best-in-class serviceability of this machine.
