We’re thrilled to announce that the wait is finally over —the Kubota U145 lands at BTE Plant Sales this March! This all-new14-tonne excavator takes Kubota’s legendary build quality and operator-focused design to the next level, offering heavy-duty performance, intelligent efficiency, and first-class comfort for groundworks and construction professionals across the UK.
A New Class of Performance
The Kubota U145 isn’t just another excavator, it’s a milestone for contractors looking to step up from compact machines without compromising agility or productivity. With an operating weight of approximately14,640 kg and powered by a robust 106.7 PS (78.5 kW) Stage V Isuzu engine, this excavator delivers the muscle you need for demanding applications.
The intelligent hydraulic system offers three selectable work modes - Super Power (SP), Heavy (H) and Auto (A) - so operators can tailor performance to site conditions, from high-output digging to fuel-efficient general work.
Engineered for Precision and Efficiency
The U145 comes equipped with advanced features designed to maximise productivity and minimise fuel consumption. From Auto Idle and Power Save Control to Boom-down Energy Save (BES), this machine helps you work smarter on every job.
Its zero-tail swing design makes it ideal for tight urban environments and constrained sites — offering powerful performance in spaces where traditional full-size excavators struggle.

- Spacious ROPS-certified cab with generous legroom
- Heated, air-suspension seat and automatic climate control
- Large 178 mm full-colour monitor with intuitive controls
- Multiple storage compartments and thoughtful ergonomic extras
For maximum visibility and safety, a 230° surround view camera system and LED work lights come as standard, helping operators stay in control on busy jobsites.
Built For Daily Demands
Whether working on civil engineering projects, highway construction, or urban infrastructure, the U145 delivers versatility that fits a wide range of applications. Choose between mono boom or 2-piece boom configurations to match your work style and site demands.
