RIPPA R15 Mini Excavator — $13,480

The RIPPA R15 ECO steps up to a 1.5-ton class chassis, which buys you deeper digging, longer reach, and more stability over the side than the R13 without pushing you into a trailer or truck upgrade. It is the sweet spot for crews that outgrew a 1-ton machine but still need to move between residential jobs daily.

The added operating weight matters more than the spec sheet suggests — heavier machines settle less under load, so grading passes come out flatter and you spend less time re-working a finished surface.

Starting at $13,480, shipped from our Waterview, Virginia warehouse. Call (804) 499-2129 for the best price on your configuration.

What the R15 is best for

  • Grading and finish work
  • Deeper trenching and drainage
  • Small site prep and driveway work
  • Crews stepping up from a 1-ton machine

Where it falls short

  • Still a residential-class machine. Commercial site work with continuous truck loading belongs on an R22 PRO or larger.
