Mini excavator stirs it up


One of a batch of new minis at Hirex 1995, Sandhurst Mfg (SMC)'s new 1.4t machine, the MX14-1 mini excavator, generated quite a stir at this year's show.

Rugged in design, the MX14-1 has been developed by SMC since its acquistion of Smalley Excavators last year.

Powered by a new water cooled Mitsubishi L3E three- cylinder diesel developing 15kW at 3,000rpm, the MX14-1 will be available from the middle of February .

Attractions claimed for the new machine include reduced noise levels, maximum torque at low speeds and a sharper hydraulic control layout.

The MX14-1, available with either canopy or all weather cab, has a digging force of 850kg and maximum digging depth of 2.2m.
