Wacker Neuson Compact Excavators
Wacker Neuson ET08 Mini Excavator – Compact Tracked Diesel Excavator
The Wacker Neuson ET08 mini excavator is a compact tracked diesel excavator designed for professional construction, landscaping, groundwork, renovation and confined-access excavation applications.
With a hydraulically adjustable undercarriage from 700mm to 860mm, the ET08 combines narrow-access capability with additional stability when the tracks are extended.
Its compact design makes it particularly useful for restricted-access construction sites, garden projects, property renovations and other locations where larger excavators may be difficult to position.
Powered by a three-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine, the ET08 provides dependable hydraulic performance for digging, trenching and suitable attachment-powered applications.
The machine also features rubber tracks, a folding ROPS safety bar, a dozer blade and standard auxiliary hydraulics, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of professional tasks.
Configuration note: Specifications and equipment may vary by country, production version and selected options. The technical details below follow the manufacturer's UK technical specification. Confirm the exact machine configuration, attachments and engine specification before ordering.
Compact Dimensions with Professional Digging Performance
The Wacker Neuson ET08 is designed to provide useful excavation capability in areas where machine width, transport dimensions and site access are important considerations.
700–860mm
Adjustable track width
1,766mm
Maximum digging depth
9.9kW
UK-listed engine output
1,029–1,115kg
Operating weight range
With a maximum digging depth of approximately 1.76 metres and an operating weight of approximately 1.0 to 1.1 tonnes, the ET08 is suitable for a range of smaller excavation and groundwork projects.
Hydraulic Telescopic Undercarriage – 700mm to 860mm
One of the main advantages of the Wacker Neuson ET08 is its hydraulically telescoping undercarriage.
The track width can be reduced to 700mm for access through narrow routes and extended to 860mm to provide a wider operating stance.
This flexibility is particularly valuable on construction sites with restricted access, residential landscaping projects and renovation work where space is limited.
700mm Retracted Width
Narrow track configuration
helps the excavator travel
through restricted-access areas.
860mm Extended Width
The wider track position
provides an increased stance
for suitable excavation operations.
Dozer Blade Extensions
Foldable blade extensions
allow the blade configuration
to be adapted alongside
the adjustable undercarriage.
Access measurement: Although the retracted track width is 700mm, the manufacturer's dimensional information lists an upper carriage width of 730mm. Check the complete machine clearance, including height and attachments, before planning access through doorways or narrow passages.
Yanmar Three-Cylinder Diesel Engine
The UK technical specification lists the ET08 with a Yanmar 3TNV70 three-cylinder diesel engine.
This engine has a displacement of 854cc and a listed effective output of 9.9kW at a nominal engine speed of 2,100rpm.
The water-cooled diesel engine provides power for the machine's travel and hydraulic systems, supporting digging, grading and compatible attachment operations.
The manufacturer's UK standard equipment information identifies the engine as a Stage V configuration.
Engine specification: Wacker Neuson's general ET08 overview also refers to an 11.6kW Yanmar engine. The UK technical data and standard components identify a 9.9kW Yanmar 3TNV70 version. Engine specifications must be confirmed for the particular machine being supplied.
Auxiliary Hydraulics for Versatile Excavation Work
The Wacker Neuson ET08 features standard one-way auxiliary hydraulics, providing the ability to operate suitable hydraulic attachments.
The manufacturer's listed hydraulic specifications include an operating pressure of 170 bar and a hydraulic flow rate of 23 litres per minute.
This gives the ET08 the flexibility to support tasks beyond conventional bucket excavation, subject to the compatibility of the selected attachment.
A two-way auxiliary hydraulic configuration is available through certain equipment or edition arrangements for applications requiring bidirectional hydraulic operation.
Attachment compatibility: Buckets, hydraulic breakers and other attachments must be matched to the machine's hydraulic output, mounting arrangement and permitted operating limits. Do not assume attachments are included with the base machine.
Folding ROPS Safety Bar and Compact Transport Design
The ET08 incorporates a folding ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) safety bar.
The ROPS can be folded in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions to reduce the machine's height for suitable low-clearance transport or access situations.
The manufacturer's UK technical data lists a machine height of 2,261mm and a shipping height of 1,490mm.
Its compact dimensions and relatively low weight can simplify movement between work sites when suitable transport equipment is available.
Transport requirements: Always verify the machine's actual transport weight, attachments, trailer capacity, towing vehicle limits and applicable road regulations. The ROPS must be used in the correct operating position as specified by the manufacturer.
Operator Controls, Rubber Tracks and Easy Maintenance
The Wacker Neuson ET08 includes several practical features intended to support everyday professional use.
ISO / SAE Control Selection
Switchable control patterns
allow the operator to select
the appropriate control logic
according to training
and operating preference.
Rubber Tracks
Rubber tracks support
movement across suitable
site surfaces and can help
reduce marking compared
with steel tracks.
Accessible Maintenance Points
The machine is designed
with accessible service points
to support routine inspection
and maintenance.
Additional manufacturer-listed standard equipment includes an adjustable operator's seat, boom-mounted working light and a dozer blade.
