The all-round narrow-alley excavator, the KMZ28, has been launched globally.
—Hydraulic four-link synchronized control and intelligent load-bearing system redefine the performance of compact equipment.
Kima Machinery recently officially launched the all-new KMZ28 zero-tail mini excavator. This model features a zero-tail swing design, with a reduced swing radius of 860mm at the rear, enabling free maneuvering in 1.5-meter-wide lanes. This eliminates the pain points of traditional equipment being prone to collision and damage in narrow lanes, interior renovations, and orchard management. Its four-link hydraulic synchronization system enables seamless coordinated operation of the boom, arm, bucket, and swing movements. Combined with a 23.5kN bucket digging force and a 14kN arm digging force, it delivers a 30% improvement in operating efficiency compared to similar models.
Four Key Technological Innovations
1. Ultimate Maneuverability
Zero-Tail Structure + Expandable Chassis: The tail swing radius is only 860mm, and the rubber track width is electrically adjustable (standard width is 1550mm), ensuring both narrow passage and stability on slopes.
Swinging Boom Design: Supports ±45° horizontal swing, and combined with a cylinder top protection structure, it prevents collisions during corner operations and enables single-step excavation in blind areas.
Dual-Mode Counterweight System: In addition to the standard cast iron counterweight, modular counterweights can be added, improving stability in tilting conditions by 40%.
2. Intelligent Precision Control System
Hydraulic Pilot Load Sensing: A flow-sensitive pump (67.2 L/min, 22 MPa) that adapts to load demands in real time delivers millimeter-level accuracy and reduces energy consumption by 25%.
Proportional Solenoid Valve Joystick: An optional electronically controlled proportional valve handle enables millimeter-level fine-tuning of attachments, supporting over 20 quick-change attachments such as breakers and augers.
S40 European standard quick-change connector: Attachment replacement time is reduced from 15 minutes to 30 seconds, compatible with the entire KIMA accessory ecosystem.
3. Ergonomic Innovation
Panoramic Cockpit: Equipped with a suspended seat and adjustable armrests, the cabin offers 800mm of legroom. Combined with an optional all-directional air conditioning system, it reduces fatigue during continuous operation by 60%.
Multi-stage Shock Absorption: A three-stage shock-absorbing chassis and a silicone-sealed cab keep noise levels below 57dB(A), meeting urban nighttime construction standards.
4. Multi-scenario Durable Design
Cylinder Anti-collision Armor: Key hydraulic cylinders are equipped with 360° protective steel plates to protect against stone impact and metal scraping.
Long-lasting Anti-corrosion Coating: The entire machine utilizes a cathodic electrophoretic coating combined with powder spraying, resulting in over 1200 hours of salt spray corrosion resistance, three times the lifespan of traditional wet paint.

Industry Reviews
"The KMZ28 redefines the performance threshold for compact equipment. Its zero-tail design not only reduces its physical size, but also achieves the operational efficiency of a large machine in confined spaces through the integration of four-axis hydraulic synchronization and load-sensing technology."
