WHY CHOOSE THE GR12?

SMALL FOOTPRINT. PROPER EXCAVATOR.

The GR12 is designed for operators who want the advantages of a compact machine without compromising on the features that matter when you're working with it every day.

Its compact dimensions make it ideal for restricted-access sites and smaller projects, while the diesel engine, pilot controls and hydraulic system provide the control and capability needed for more demanding work.

Whether you're digging foundations, preparing ground, installing drainage or working on landscaping projects, the GR12 gives you a highly versatile machine in a manageable package.

Compact enough to get in. Capable enough to get it done.

KUBOTA POWER

PROVEN DIESEL PERFORMANCE.

At the heart of the GR12 is a Kubota diesel engine.

Kubota engines have an established reputation across the compact construction machinery industry, making them a natural choice for a machine designed for regular working use.

For the GR12 owner, that means dependable diesel power from a recognised engine manufacturer, combined with the compact dimensions and versatility that make this size of excavator so useful.

Engine: Kubota
 Fuel: Diesel

Proven power from a name operators know.

PILOT CONTROLS AND PARKER HYDRAULICS

PILOT CONTROLS

CONTROL WHERE IT MATTERS.

The GR12 is equipped with pilot-operated controls, giving the operator smooth and precise control of the excavator's working functions.

For anyone spending significant time on a machine, good controls matter.

They help make accurate digging, grading and positioning easier while giving the GR12 the operating feel you'd expect from a larger professional excavator.

It's another example of the Grizzly philosophy:

Put the features that matter into the machine from the start.


PARKER HYDRAULICS

QUALITY AT THE HEART OF THE MACHINE.

Hydraulics are fundamental to how an excavator performs.

That's why the GR12 specification includes a Parker hydraulic pump.

Smooth hydraulic performance helps provide the controllability and response operators need when digging, grading or working with attachments.

We don't choose components simply because they make a specification sheet look impressive.

We choose them because they're important to how the machine works.

ONE COMPACT MACHINE. PLENTY OF POSSIBILITIES.

The GR12 sits in a particularly useful part of the mini excavator market.

It's compact enough for residential and restricted-access projects, yet capable enough to become a genuine everyday working machine.

The GR12 is ideally suited to:

Construction
Foundations, extensions and general building work.

Landscaping
Ground preparation, gardens, pathways and larger landscaping projects.

Groundworks
Excavation, preparation and general site work.

Drainage
Trenching and installation work.

Property Development
A versatile machine for ongoing development and refurbishment projects.

Utilities
Compact excavation where space and control are important.

EQUIPPED TO WORK

THE BUCKETS YOU NEED. NOT JUST THE ONE THAT COMES WITH IT.

A mini excavator becomes much more useful when you have the right bucket for the job.

That's why we've taken the same practical approach to the GR12's equipment as we have to the machine itself.

The 400mm digging bucket is included as standard, with additional bucket sizes and attachments available to configure your GR12 around the work you actually do.

Available options include an 800mm bucket, alongside a range of specialist attachments.

Whether you're digging, grading, clearing, ripping or carrying out specialist work, talk to us about the jobs you take on and we'll help you put together the right package.

WHO IS THE GR12 FOR?

The GR12 is a particularly good fit for:

Builders who want a compact excavator for extensions, foundations, drainage and general site work.

Landscapers needing more capability while retaining access to residential gardens and tighter working areas.

Groundworkers looking for a versatile compact machine for excavation, trenching and preparation work.

Owner-operators who want their own professional-specification excavator without moving into a larger weight class.
