About this machine
The L1000 is a 1-ton mini excavator built for tight-access jobs that still demand real digging power. At 1,050 kg operating weight it has a compact footprint but delivers full-size capability. It fits through a 930 mm gap and digs to 1.66 metres. Whether you are working in a domestic garden, a narrow alley, or a confined construction site, this machine gives you the reach and force of a larger excavator without the transport headache.
Dual joystick controls and an expandable track chassis (820 mm to 1,020 mm) make the L1000 easy to operate and stable on uneven ground. The KOOP diesel engine delivers reliable power with low fuel consumption, and the piston-pump hydraulic system gives you smooth, responsive control.
Every Lion machine is factory-tested before it ships and backed by a 12-month parts warranty, with genuine spares held in UK stock and dispatched within 3-7 days. Real UK support is only ever a call, WhatsApp or email away.
