Facts about M23

Specially designed motor support sleeve

When compared with conventional two-motor drive machines, the M23 adopts a four hydraulic motor direct drive system that drives the wheels directly. This reduces transmission components such as sprockets, chains, sprocket shafts, bearings, etc., and avoids the hidden problems that those components could cause.
Common to mini diggers on the market now with a four hydraulic motor design is that the motor is mounted directly on the side plate of the rack, with the motor output shaft cantilever mounts over the tyres. The motor output shaft is then unsupported and operational forces could reduce the service life of the motor. Also motor maintenance and disassembly must be done from the inside of the rack and it is a complex task.
However, the Meerkat mini digger's four-motor-driving system is connected to the frame through a specially designed motor support sleeve and the forces transmitted to the motor output shaft have been reduced by more than 50%, significantly improving the service life of the motor. At the same time, the motor can be easily removed by loosening the bolts of the externally mounted motor support sleeve, reducing maintenance downtime and labour costs if required.

Mini diggers designed to work in narrow spaces for the professional & DIY

When the M23 is fitted with either track or narrow tyre, the width of the whole machine is only 835mm, so it can be easily driven into the backyard or through narrow gates. The maximum working height of the M23 mini digger's hinge pin is 1798mm significantly more than some others on the market, whose maximum working height can be only 1670mm.
