YCW T18 Mini Excavator – a familiar favourite, upgraded!

The new YCW T18 builds on the popular YCW18 Pro with updated hydraulics, revised components, and a fresh exterior design. It retains the features of its predecessor, including boom swing, auxiliary hydraulics, side-mounted hydraulic pilot controls, and a Laidong 385B three-cylinder diesel engine. The result is a new addition to the YCW range for home users, farms, and light professional work.

Updated hydraulics for controlled digging

The T18 combines a hydraulic twin-pump system with a pilot-operated load-sensing control valve. Its hydraulic specification also includes an end-cushioned arm cylinder, which slows the cylinder as it approaches the cushioned end of its stroke, softening the stop. Side-mounted pilot controls put the digging functions within reach, while boom swing allows the boom to move sideways for offset digging.

Revised components and a fresh exterior

Compared with the YCW18 Pro, the T18 features an upgraded, stronger swing motor and a revised boom swing pivot structure. The travel motors are recessed within the track frames, and a front protection grille is fitted ahead of the operator. Redesigned sheet-metal covers give the machine its updated appearance, while a separate battery isolator switch allows the battery supply to be disconnected.

A versatile machine for everyday jobs

From trenching and landscaping to ground shaping and site preparation, the YCW T18 provides a compact platform for a variety of digging tasks. It retains the larger undercarriage specification of the YCW18 Pro, with a track length of 1,515 mm and a track width of 230 mm. Auxiliary hydraulics provide connections for compatible hydraulic attachments, allowing the machine to be equipped for different jobs.

Three-cylinder Laidong diesel power

The YCW T18 is powered by a Laidong 385B three-cylinder diesel engine. Together with the hydraulic twin-pump system and pilot-operated controls, it forms the core of the machine's working equipment.
