How Much a 1 Ton Mini Excavator Can REALLY Lift? Rippa R10 Gas vs Diesel vs Cab

How much can a 1-ton mini excavator really lift? In this video, we put three versions of the Rippa R10 through a real-world lifting test to find out: • Rippa R10 Gas • Rippa R10 Diesel • Rippa R10 Cab Using the same load, the same test conditions, and plenty of trial and error, we compare lifting performance, stability, and overall capability to see whether the engine type or enclosed cab makes a difference. We also push each machine to its limits, test different lifting positions, and share what we learned along the way. If you're shopping for a compact excavator for landscaping, property maintenance, trenching, or small construction projects, this video will give you a realistic look at what a 1-ton mini excavator can actually handle.
