Compact construction equipment

Mini excavator repair: Kubota first, every other make next.

A mini excavator out of action means a site on hold. Hydraulics, engine, tracks, electrics, covers and paint: one workshop, one point of contact, and genuine parts sourced from manufacturer networks.

Why Kubota first

Kubota U and KX series machines are among the most common mini excavators on building sites and in hire fleets across Île-de-France. Our mechanics know their hydraulic circuits, their engines and their typical wear points: we know their common faults. LNVI is an independent workshop, not a Kubota dealer.

A replaced Kubota cover is repainted in our booth to the manufacturer’s colour code.

JCB (8000, C and Z series), Yanmar ViO, Takeuchi TB, Bobcat E and all other makes are handled with the same method: diagnosis first, then a costed quote, repair and testing.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions about mini excavator repair

Do you only repair Kubota mini excavators?

No. Kubota is our speciality, but we handle every make of mini digger: JCB, Yanmar, Takeuchi, Bobcat, Hitachi, Volvo, Caterpillar and others.

My mini excavator is leaking hydraulic oil. What should I do?

Lower the attachment to the ground, switch off the engine and locate the leak (cylinder, hose, fitting or swivel joint) without ever running your hand over a pressurised jet: hydraulic oil can pierce the skin. Send us a photo. A hose is made up in our workshop; a cylinder is rebuilt in our workshop (new seals, rod inspection).

A track on my mini excavator has come off or is worn. What should I do?

Before replacing the track, we check the tension, the idler and the rollers: a track that comes off often has its cause elsewhere. Rubber tracks are replaced in the workshop.

Can you collect the machine?

We arrange transport with you, depending on the size of the machine. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What servicing does a mini excavator need?

The servicing set out in the manufacturer’s schedule, based on engine hours: oils, filters, greasing, tracks and a hydraulic check. We keep the history of every machine by serial number.

Do you paint mini excavators?

Yes: covers, chassis and boom are repainted in our paint booth, in the manufacturer’s colour.

Book
