10% more dig force. Zero tail swing. The HD35V5 showed up.

The KATO HD35V5 didn't get participation trophies. It just got better.

V5 platform means 10% more digging force than the previous gen. 4-pump hydraulics that respond. Zero tail swing for the tight residential and commercial sites customers bring it to every week.

We spy KATO equipment with 4 Corners Equipment at the API (American Petroleum Institute) Golf Scramble in Farmington, New Mexico. ⛳

Always great seeing our dealers out in the community supporting the hardworking industries that keep America moving. Thanks to the 4 Corners Equipment team for representing KATO and bringing the machines out for a great day on the course.

Zero tail swing — the two-minute explainer your customers need.

Dealers hear this question from customers constantly: 'What does zero tail swing actually mean?'

Here's the short version to share:

With zero tail swing, the cab rear stays within the track width during full rotation. That means:

✅ Work right next to walls, fences, and vehicles
✅ No radius math before every swing
✅ Safer operation in busy or tight work zones

Every KATO V5 mini comes with it standard. Easy to explain. Easy to sell.

The one customers ask for by name. HD50V5.

You know the machine on the lot that the regulars always want? The KATO HD50V5 earns that spot.

Zero tail swing. V5 4-pump hydraulics for responsive attachment performance. Fuel efficiency that keeps operating costs in check across a busy rental fleet.

Not a compromise. A crowd favorite.

Tight site customers? The HD60V5 was made for them.

Zero tail swing means the KATO HD60V5 gets to work right up to the wall, the fence, the curb — without the customer calculating swing radius before every move.

V5 4-pump hydraulics keep attachments fast and responsive. Fuel-efficient enough to run all day.

Easy to rent. Easy to justify on a dealer lot. 🟠 katoces.com | (800) 538-1447

Big project customers. KATO has the machine.

The customers with big projects don't want to compromise on equipment. They want the right machine for the job.

KATO's conventional tail swing excavators are built for serious production work — backed by 30+ years of quality and available through your dealership.

We have an excavator for that. 🟠 katoces.com | (800) 538-1447

Some jobs need the big swing energy. KATO has it.

For the open sites, road cuts, and land clearing jobs where production is the only metric that matters — conventional tail swing delivers what zero-swing machines can't:

➡ More counterweight mass
➡ Greater stability on rough and sloped terrain
➡ Full digging force without compromise

The customers who need these machines know it. Make sure they know you carry KATO.

Happy operators come back. And they bring their crew.

Here's something rental stores know well: customers who have a good experience on a machine come back for it by name.

KATO V5 excavators were designed so operators actually want to run them — low noise and vibration, auto-parking brake, neutral engine start, controls that make sense after a long shift.

Machines that feel good get rented again. And again.

Not every job is a headline project. Most of them are utility trenches, residential foundations, and commercial grades — and those jobs need a machine that shows up, digs, and keeps moving without drama.

The KATO HD308US-7 is built for exactly that. Easy to rent out, easy to sell, easy to support.

Zero tail swing is great — we put it on pretty much every mini we make.

But when the site is open and the job demands maximum stability, counterweight, and digging power — conventional tail swing is the right call for the customer.

More machine working for them. More value coming back to you.

KATO has those machines in the lineup too. 🟠 katoces.com | (800) 538-1447

Small class. Full KATO. No compromises.

Just because it's in the small class doesn't mean it got the small-class treatment.

The KATO HD308US-7 runs the same R7 platform as our medium excavators — cab heat and A/C, pattern change valve, dual aux hydraulics, all included.

Customers renting or buying from your lot get the same quality whether the machine weighs 10 tons or 30. That's an easy conversation.
