Fullwin FW18Pro Mini Excavator at Work in Australia: The Right Bucket for the Job

One of our customers in Australia recently shared several photos of his Fullwin FW18Pro mini excavator at work. In the photos, the machine can be seen digging a trench with a narrow bucket, chosen specifically for the job.

It's a practical setup for trenching work where a narrower digging width is needed. And it's a good example of why choosing a mini excavator is about more than just operating weight or digging depth. The machine's design and the attachments available can make a real difference to how it fits your work.

A Compact Excavator Designed for Everyday Jobs

The FW18Pro is a 1.8-ton-class mini excavator designed for construction, landscaping, farm work and other excavation tasks.

With a machine width of 1,100 mm, its compact footprint makes it a practical option for jobs where working space is limited. The zero-tail design helps reduce the space needed when turning, while the swing boom allows the operator to adjust the boom position when digging alongside walls or other obstacles.

Hydraulic pilot controls provide responsive operation, and the X-shaped heavy-duty undercarriage is built to handle regular work on site. The boom cylinder is mounted on top of the boom for added protection, while the reinforced structure and 120 kg cast counterweight contribute to the machine's robust working setup.

For customers looking for a mini excavator with a Kubota engine, the FW18Pro offers Kubota and Laidong engine options, depending on the selected configuration.

It's a combination of compact dimensions, practical design and attachment flexibility that makes the FW18Pro worth considering for contractors, landscapers, farmers and equipment dealers.

More Than Digging: Choose the Right Mini Excavator Attachment

The narrow bucket used by our Australian customer is just one example of how an attachment can be matched to a specific job.

Different projects call for different tools. A narrow bucket is useful when a trench needs a smaller digging width, while a standard digging bucket is better suited to general excavation. For jobs beyond digging, changing the attachment can open up even more possibilities.

Fullwin offers a range of mini excavator attachments for different working needs:

Digging and earthmoving: Narrow Teeth Bucket, Plain Bucket, Tilting Bucket and Sieve Bucket

Breaking and ground preparation: Breaker Hammer and Ripper

Drilling: Auger Drill

Grabbing and handling materials: Hydraulic Thumb, Mechanical Thumb, Wood Grapple and Rotation Grapple

Landscaping and site maintenance: Rake, Lawn Mower and Hedge Trimmers

Faster attachment changes: Mechanical Quick Hitch and Hydraulic Quick Hitch

Whether you're digging trenches, preparing a garden, clearing vegetation or handling materials, the right attachment helps you get more out of your compact excavator.

Attachment compatibility depends on the machine model and configuration, so it's always worth checking the requirements before ordering.

Easier Attachment Changes with the Fullwin CW05-Type Quick Hitch

If you regularly switch between buckets and other tools, changing attachments efficiently becomes part of the working day.

That's why Fullwin has developed a CW05-type quick hitch solution for selected mini excavator models. It is compatible with the FW12Ultra, FW18Ultra, FW20Ultra and FW30Ultra.

A compatible quick hitch makes attachment changes more convenient, helping operators move between different tasks without repeatedly removing and reinstalling mounting pins manually.

For equipment dealers and contractors who use multiple attachments, this is another option to consider when configuring a mini excavator for their work.

Contact Fullwin Machinery to confirm the correct quick hitch configuration and compatibility with your machine.
