Maximum Digging Reach & Depth in a 2.5-Ton Transportable Platform
The TYPHON KUVUO 2.5 is positioned as the deep-reach champion in the KONSTRUCTZ compact excavation lineup. Weighing in at 5,510 lbs (2,500 kg), this machine bridges the gap between ultra-compact backyard diggers and heavy commercial excavators.
At the mechanical core is the proven Japanese Kubota D902 three-cylinder diesel engine producing 20 HP at 2,300 RPM. This industrial powerplant drives a high-pressure hydraulic circuit delivering smooth, multi-function metering for simultaneous boom, arm, bucket, and slew operations.
The true competitive advantage of the KUVUO 2.5 is its extended geometry: an 8.2 ft (2,500 mm) maximum digging depth and 14.1 ft (4,300 mm) ground-level reach. Operators can excavate deep sewer connections, basement egress window wells, and deep foundation footings with fewer machine repositioning moves.
An independent boom swing mechanism allows the arm to articulate 75 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to the right, enabling clean, straight trenching directly parallel to building foundations, fence posts, and concrete borders without repositioning the tracks.
Three critical engineering decisions that translate into lower operating costs and higher jobsite throughput.
Dual-unit specifications (US Standard primary, Metric secondary) verified for commercial procurement and jobsite validation.
