Track Dumpers

A tracked dumper is designed to move loads of soil, rubble, or materials across uneven ground and confined spaces.

Unlike wheeled dumpers, tracked machines spread their weight across rubber tracks, making them more stable on soft or muddy terrain.

They are often used in housebuilding, landscaping, and civil engineering projects where ground conditions are challenging. Contractors rely on tracked dumpers like the Kubota KC70 because they can access narrow areas, carry significant loads, and tip directly into skips or lorries. For hire firms, tracked dumpers are in steady demand year-round, as they are easy to operate and versatile across many applications.

The Kubota KC70 series offers contractors and hire companies a compact, reliable dumper that is ideal for restricted-access sites.

Key benefits include a slim profile for moving through tight spaces, a high-tip function for unloading into skips, and rubber tracks that reduce ground damage. The KC70 provides robust, fuel-efficient power for tough site conditions, while the electric model delivers the same productivity with zero emissions and quieter operation. Both versions are built with Kubota’s reputation for reliability, long service life, and ease of maintenance.

For hire firms, the KC70’s straightforward controls and strong build quality make it a fleet favourite that requires minimal downtime.

The KC70-4 has several models including: 

KC70H-4: standard tip function

KC70 VHD-4: Variable track with a high dump function

KC70 SL-4: This comes with a self-loading function

These models can offer versatility and can be either petrol or diesel. 

The main difference is the power source. The Kubota KC70 diesel dumper uses a Stage V-compliant diesel engine, offering strong performance for outdoor and heavy-duty projects where long operating hours are needed. The KC70 electric dumper, by contrast, is powered by a battery system, making it emission-free and much quieter. This makes it ideal for projects in urban areas, low-emission zones, or indoor environments where diesel engines are unsuitable. Both models share the same compact size, load capacity, and tipping ability, so choosing between them depends on your site requirements. Contractors often use diesel models for general civil engineering, while developers and hire firms increasingly add electric models to their fleets to meet customer demand for low-emission solutions.

The Kubota KC70 tracked dumper has a payload capacity of around 700 kg, making it suitable for moving soil, rubble, and other site materials efficiently.

Despite its compact design, the machine can handle heavy loads relative to its size, and the high-tip function allows operators to unload directly into skips or lorries without additional handling.

For contractors, this makes the KC70 an effective choice for housing developments and landscaping projects where small loads need to be moved quickly and consistently.

Hire companies value this payload capacity because it fits the needs of a wide customer base, from builders working on small residential jobs to larger contractors requiring compact but capable material handling.

Yes. Tracked dumpers are specifically designed to handle slopes, soft ground, and uneven terrain.

The rubber tracks distribute the machine’s weight, giving it excellent stability and reducing the risk of sinking or slipping. The Kubota KC70 performs well on gradients and confined spaces where wheeled dumpers might struggle. This makes it a popular choice for landscaping, groundwork, and construction sites with poor access or challenging surfaces.

Contractors benefit from reduced downtime, as the dumper can continue working in conditions where wheeled machines may have to stop.

For hire firms, tracked dumpers like the KC70 offer reliability and flexibility across a wide range of customer jobs, from garden projects to infrastructure works.

The Kubota KC70 dumper is designed with simple, intuitive controls, making it easy to operate even for users with minimal training.

The compact size and excellent visibility give operators confidence in confined areas, while the straightforward steering and tipping functions make material handling quick and efficient. Contractors value the KC70 because it reduces operator fatigue and increases productivity on site. For hire firms, the ease of operation is a big advantage, as it ensures that customers can use the dumper safely and effectively without extensive instruction.

BTE also provides guidance and support to ensure your team gets the most from their Kubota tracked dumper.

Tracked dumpers are built for durability, but they still require regular checks and servicing. Routine tasks include inspecting rubber tracks for wear, checking fluid levels, and monitoring hydraulic systems.

The Kubota KC70 series is designed for easy access to service points, keeping downtime to a minimum. The electric model requires even less maintenance since it has fewer moving engine parts compared to the diesel version. 

At BTE, we supply genuine Kubota parts, service contracts, and mobile engineer support to ensure your tracked dumper stays reliable throughout its working life.
