As you know, mini excavators provide the prime solution to tackling work in tight spaces, and the CARTER CT16 does just that. This CARTER 1.7Ton model is fast gaining popularity in the mini construction market, and there are several reasons why this is the case.
Max. Digging Depth: 2.11m
Max. Dumping Height: 2.36m
Engine: 15.5kW/3600rpm Yanmar 3TNV70 Engine
Power & Precision
The Carter CT16-9BE is a 1.7-tonne piece of precision equipment, hitting that ‘sweet spot’ where power and manoeuvrability coexist at optimal levels. Powered by a 15.5kW Yanmar engine, this piece of reliable machinery delivers maximum digging performance.
Add a superior hydraulic pump and a powerful bucket breakout force to match this engine’s torque and you have the power you need, with excellent control for an overall balanced level of performance. We’ve increased the hydraulic pump capacity to 49.5L/min, giving you the boost of performance needed to power a very wide range of hydraulic-driven attachments. Carter provides the versatility you need to take on a wide variety of jobs.
Efficient design
An impressive element of the Carter excavator is its smart and efficient design. With a boom cylinder located above the boom, this forward-thinking placement keeps maintenance costs at a minimum (as this accounts for a decreased chance of materials and bucket teeth damaging the rod in the cylinder).
The CT16-9BE also has a swing boom which not only comes in handy at specific applications where space and manoeuvrability is limited, but offers a maintenance benefit. The final drives are protected as well as the drive hoses are protected meaning increased durability. This level of attention-to-detail in design results in one very efficient and reliable piece of machinery.
EASY TO TRANSPORT
The CT16 model weighs only 1.7 tonnes making it cost-effective and easy to transport on a double-axle trailer. This offers a big cost advantage over larger excavator models requiring trucks to be transported from site to site.
The compact size-class of the CT16 also enables you to get jobs done where other larger equipment cannot reach into. This makes the CT16 a specialist machine.

The hydraulically activated retractable undercarriage gives you the flexibility to access tight spaces like passageways, alleys, and doorwards. The dozer blade also retracts meaning you can really get to sites no larger machine can. Operator fatigue is minimised via a high back full suspension seat (this makes a big difference over those intensely long hours spent on the job). The Two-Speed Function enables you to get from point A to point B faster. Simply select low range travel speed for pushing and dozing applications and high speed for increased job site mobility.
