Description

Wacker Neuson EZ17: Compact Strength for Confined Worksites

Built for Tight-Space Performance

The EZ17 zero tail swing excavator gives contractors the ability to work confidently in limited spaces while maintaining full power. As a reliable 1.5 ton mini excavator, it delivers strong digging force, excellent stability, and smooth maneuverability. Because this mini excavator is compact yet durable, crews can complete trenching, grading, and foundation work with efficiency in every environment.

Diesel Power with Hydraulic Precision

The EZ17 runs on a dependable diesel mini excavator engine that combines fuel efficiency with consistent output. Its advanced hydraulic system allows precise movement, so operators transition easily between heavy digging and fine grading. Therefore, productivity stays high without sacrificing fuel economy.

  • Fuel-efficient engine designed for demanding applications
  • High breakout force for reliable digging and lifting
  • Optimized hydraulics for smooth, responsive operation
