Anti theft system for mini excavators
To combat the increasing theft of construction plant, Kubota has responded to market demands by introducing their unique key-based 'Anti-Theft' system as standard equipment on its mini excavators.
The easy-to-use security system, the first of its kind fitted as standard from an excavator manufacturer, is yet another pioneering innovation from the world leader in mini excavators.
Among other machines on show for the first time at SED will be the 5 tonne Kubota U50-3, a zero tail swing model fitted with a long reach arm, which together with the U45-3 4.5 tonne machine, are some of the most advanced minis in their class.
In addition to a long reach arm for extra digging depth, the U50-3 has a heavier counterweight for enhanced stability and improved torque for increased traction, compared with the U45-3 model, whilst both machines provide the highest standards in design, technology and performance.

"Our minis represent the global benchmark that customers and end-users consistently ask for, and to which other manufacturers compare their own machines", said Richard Harrison, Sales and Marketing Manager, Kubota (UK) - Construction Equipment Division.
"In addition to the tremendous capabilities of our existing range of machines, continuing product enhancements, new models and the strength of our dealer network should help ensure the on-going achievement of record sales levels and our continued leadership of the mini excavator sector of many years to come".
