Three Kubota mini excavators for a municipal pipe network project in Algiers

A company doing municipal pipe networks in Algeria is working in the old city, where the streets are narrow and large machines cannot get in, so it needed 5 to 6 tonne mini excavators.

The customer first asked about one machine, and after looking at the information decided to buy three Kubota KX057-4 units at once, from 2016, 2018 and 2019. The three machines have hours ranging from 2800 to 5200, and on mini excavators the price depends heavily on the hours, so we quoted each one separately according to its actual condition.

The customer asked for a quick coupler and a 30 cm narrow bucket on each machine for digging pipe trenches. We supplied these attachments domestically and shipped them together with the machines.

The three mini excavators were loaded into two 40 foot flat rack containers and departed from Tianjin port, arriving at Algiers port in about 30 days.

The customer says the narrow bucket gets the most use. The three machines are now working simultaneously in different districts.
