Applications
| Application | Project Location | Working Results |
|---|---|---|
| Private Villa & Backyard Landscaping | Indiana, USA | Completed 200㎡ yard renovation within 6 days. 1100 mm narrow chassis passes through standard garden gates. Finished terrain grading, tree pit digging and garden bed shaping, greatly reducing manual digging workload. |
| Farmland Irrigation & Drainage Ditching | Queensland, Australia | Completed 150‑meter farm drainage channel in one working shift. Laidong 385 three‑cylinder water‑cooled engine delivers sufficient power with stable fuel consumption. 180 mm tracks minimize soil compaction on farmland. |
| Courtyard Light Demolition & Site Cleaning | Slovenia, Europe | Removed old garden concrete slabs and cleared construction waste for multiple residential courtyards. Compact body works in enclosed narrow yards inaccessible for large excavators. |
| Greenhouse & Small Tool‑shed Foundation Excavation | Saskatchewan, Canada | Excavated multiple shallow foundations for greenhouses and storage sheds. Max digging depth 1800 mm satisfies shallow foundation requirements, precise digging reduces over‑excavation and concrete waste. |
| Residential Suburb Pipeline Trenching | Romania, Europe | Carried out water pipe and cable trenching on narrow residential streets. 30° gradeability adapts sloped roadside terrain without occupying full road lanes. |
| Small Landscape Pond & Waterway Digging | Uruguay, South America | Excavated small garden ornamental ponds. Flexible operation, no need to remove surrounding fences, effectively cuts site preparation time. |
