KATO HD35V5 Mini Excavator
Big Power in a Compact Frame — Now at Mech-N-Air
The KATO HD35V5 is the ultimate mini excavator in the 3.5-tonne class — blending strength, advanced control systems, and superior operator comfort into one versatile package. At Mech-N-Air, we’re proud to bring you this premium machine, backed by over a century of KATO’s engineering heritage.
Built for Bigger Jobs
Fitted with the YANMAR 3TNV88F engine, the HD35V5 delivers 17.2 kW at 2,200 rpm and 83.9 Nm of torque at 1,320 rpm. This power translates into serious on-site performance, with 29.1 kN of bucket digging force and 17.1 kN of arm force — ideal for demanding earthworks, trenching, backfilling, and heavy-duty tasks.
Its standard reinforced dozer blade and robust boom swing pin enhance durability and reduce wear, while the V-shaped dual-layer boom cylinder cover protects critical components in the toughest environments.
Stability Without Compromise
The HD35V5 comes equipped with an expandable undercarriage, increasing width from 1,550 mm to 1,800 mm for improved side stability and easy transport. The enhanced low center of gravity ensures confident handling on uneven terrain, while Tough Track rubber shoes with spiral structure and anti-corrosion steel cords deliver excellent wear resistance and traction.
Operator-Focused Design
Step into a thoughtfully designed cabin that puts productivity first. The HD35V5 offers:
Seat suspension and armrests for all-day comfort
Wide step access and lowered entry height
Ergonomic lever layout with proportional control
LED-lit monitor with live engine diagnostics and error codes
Cabin options include air conditioning, heater, AM radio, and front guard, making it ideal for Australian job sites in any season.
Advanced Controls and Efficiency
Choose between Vmax mode for maximum output or ECO mode to reduce fuel use by up to 9%. The auto-idling function cuts engine speed when levers are at rest, saving an additional 10% in fuel over a standard workday.
The travel auto-shifting system automatically switches between high and low speed based on load — giving you smooth movement and consistent power delivery without manual intervention.
Streamlined Maintenance
All critical service points are easily accessible without tools, and the machine features:
Steel-pressed covers for durability and easy repairs
Double-element air cleaner
Hydraulic oil return filter
Water separator with electric sensor
Side-by-side cooling system
Everything is engineered to reduce downtime and simplify your daily checks.
