Powerful Engine and High-Efficiency Hydraulic Performance

The Rippa mini skid steer loader is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and efficiency across a wide range of demanding applications. At the heart of this machine is the Kubota D1105 engine, rated at 18.2 kW (24.4 HP). This engine is well known for its strong power output, low fuel consumption, and long-term reliability. Its mature design and global service network make maintenance simple and cost-effective, ensuring stable operation even under continuous heavy workloads.

The hydraulic pump is directly connected to the engine, a design choice that significantly reduces energy loss and mechanical complexity. By eliminating unnecessary transmission components, this direct-drive configuration improves overall efficiency while lowering routine maintenance requirements. Operators benefit from faster hydraulic response, smoother operation, and reduced downtime, which directly contributes to higher productivity on job sites.

With an operating weight of 1386 kg (3056 lbs) and an impressive main pump hydraulic flow of 172.2 L/min (45.5 GPM), the Rippa mini skid steer demonstrates powerful and efficient working capabilities. The machine achieves a maximum unloading height of 1725 mm and a maximum load capacity of 670 kg, allowing it to handle heavy materials with ease. Combined with rapid loading cycles and precise hydraulic control, operators can move, lift, and place loads efficiently, saving both time and labor while maintaining consistent performance.

Compact Design, Speed, and Operator-Focused Comfort

Designed for versatility in confined spaces, the Rippa mini skid steer features a compact 1000 mm machine width. This narrow profile enables smooth and flexible operation in tight environments such as urban construction sites, warehouses, farms, and indoor renovation projects. Despite its compact size, the machine does not compromise on performance, delivering class-leading productivity in restricted working areas.

The skid steer offers best-in-class travel speed of up to 8 km/h (4.97 mph), allowing operators to move quickly between work zones and improve overall job efficiency. Faster travel speed reduces non-working time, especially on large sites where frequent repositioning is required. This balance between speed and stability makes the machine highly competitive within its class.

Operator comfort is a key focus in the Rippa mini skid steer’s design. The spacious ergonomic cab provides ample legroom and excellent all-around visibility, significantly reducing fatigue during long working hours. Clear sightlines enhance safety and precision, allowing operators to maintain full awareness of their surroundings. The cab can be tilted upward, offering convenient access for entry, routine inspections, and maintenance, further improving service efficiency.

Advanced Controls, Attachment Versatility, and All-Terrain Capability

The control system of the Rippa mini skid steer is designed for intuitive and efficient operation. Dual control handles integrate quick-coupler activation and a horn button, enabling operators to manage machine functions and attachments seamlessly without changing hand positions. This integrated design improves workflow efficiency and reduces operator strain during repetitive tasks.

The control panel is equipped with multifunction buttons that allow easy adjustment of features such as cooling fan speed and lighting systems. These controls help operators adapt the machine to varying working conditions, whether operating in high-temperature environments or low-light situations. Real-time responsiveness and ergonomic placement of controls ensure precise handling and enhanced productivity.

Attachment capability is another major strength of the Rippa mini skid steer loader. A single set of three auxiliary hydraulic circuits allows synchronized and precise operation of multiple attachment functions. With an auxiliary hydraulic flow of 48 L/min (12.7 GPM), the machine delivers strong and stable hydraulic power to ensure efficient attachment performance. This makes it suitable for a wide range of tools, including augers, trenchers, sweepers, and grapples.

The RS07 model is available in both wheeled and tracked versions, enabling operators to choose the configuration that best suits their terrain and working conditions. High-torque, low-speed drive motors ensure smooth starts and stops, even when handling large inertial loads, maintaining stability and traction on uneven or challenging terrain. Safety and visibility are further enhanced by warning lights and powerful outdoor lighting, ensuring clear visibility and precise operation during nighttime or low-visibility conditions.

The floating bucket function allows the bucket to automatically adjust its angle according to ground contours, keeping it consistently in contact with the surface. This feature is particularly effective for cleaning, leveling, and maintaining smooth operation over uneven roads or surfaces. By adapting naturally to terrain changes, the floating bucket improves work quality while reducing operator effort, making the Rippa mini skid steer a highly efficient and versatile solution for modern job sites.
