Experience unparalleled performance with Kubota’s new 14 tonne excavator. Optimised
hydraulics deliver powerful digging and reach capabilities. An operator focused design
provides superior comfort. And precision control and zero tail swing ensure enhanced
productivity. Ideal for confined applications, the U145 delivers powerful performance without
compromise even in tight spaces where an excavator is typically used. The blade equipped undercarriage provides outstanding stability, whilst best in class lifting capacity drives productivity across a range of applications whether replacing a compact digger or supporting heavy construction equipment. The perfect solution for the toughest construction challenges.

Emissions Standard EU Stage V

RANGE OF EFFICIENCY MODES

For superior efficiency, the U145 features three working modes Super Power SP for faster

operations, Heavy H for heavy duty applications, and Auto A for even better fuel

efficiency across a range of different operations. Within the A mode you can choose from six

different levels so that you can quickly and easily match the appropriate mode to the

demands of any site. These modes give operators familiar with digger equipment an intuitive transition to a more powerful excavator platform.

SPOOL STROKE CONTROL

The U145’s hydraulic control system has been optimised to maximise productivity, delivering

precision control for any task that requires high levels of accuracy. This enables both high output and delicate operations to be carried out with greater efficiency, especially valuable when completing fine grading work often done with an excavator. For even greater

versatility, the U145 features two auxiliary systems, complete with Spool Stroke Control

SSC. SSC automatically detects operating conditions and regulates hydraulic pressure to

optimise fuel efficiency, enhancing the level of control that a digger operators rely on for detail sensitive applications.

BUILT FOR EFFICIENCY

Energy saving benefits of the U145 include Power Save Control that automatically reduces

the hydraulic pump flows when the machine is idle. Boom Down Energy Save BES also

improves fuel efficiency during boom lowering, whilst Auto Idle and Idle Shut Down

automatically lower the engine speed when the controls are in neutral and shut the engine down when the system detects that the machine is idle. 

COMFORT THAT SETS THE STANDARD

A luxurious cab with generous legroom and a deluxe seat ensures day long comfort for

greater operator productivity, thanks to class leading head and foot space. The adjustable

air suspension seat with tilting back for personalised operator comfort includes a heater

as standard. Other benefits include fully automatic air conditioning and climate control, a large

and easy to read 178 mm colour monitor, under cab storage and more. This ensures that operators used to the tighter cabins of an excavator experience a major upgrade in comfort.

ALL ROUND VISION

As well as a panoramic forward facing view, the U145 excavator delivers 270 degree rear and side vision via cameras linked to the onboard monitor for enhanced visibility and site safety. For

even greater visibility, the U145 features bright LED work lights complete with a rain deflector

as standard. 

EASY SERVICEABILITY

Easy access to key parts ensures fast and simple maintenance to ensure optimal

performance every day. Key parts such as the coolant expansion bottle, air cleaner, air

conditioning condenser, relay box, engine oil, and windscreen washer fluid are all easily

accessible.
