Rippa R32 PRO

The R32 PRO is the mini excavator you choose when the work goes beyond DIY: foundations for houses and outbuildings, trenches for water mains, sewerage or cable, tanks and swimming pools, topsoil stripping and earthmoving on sites where a large excavator simply has no room. It is a semi-professional machine, built for full working days, not for occasional jobs.

The difference from cheap mini excavators shows in the engine and the hydraulics. The Kubota V1505 engine, in its Euro 5 version, is a Japanese engine with spare parts available and predictable fuel consumption, and the hydraulic system delivers a breakout force that lets it tackle hard ground, compacted clay and gravelly soil without stalling. The dozer blade stabilises the machine when digging and handles levelling without changing equipment.

For the operator, the R32 PRO comes with an adjustable air-suspension seat and good vibration damping — a detail that really matters after eight hours in the cab. On the safety side, the hose burst valve on the boom cylinder instantly stops the oil flow if a hose fails, preventing the boom from dropping suddenly.

It is the right machine for small construction firms in Moldova doing turnkey work, for large farms and for plant hire businesses that need a machine that pays for itself. The range of attachments — buckets of various widths, grapple, quick coupler — lets you adapt it to the type of job without investing in a second machine.
