Kubota U27-4 Mini Excavator Rental for the London, ON Area
Equipment Rental Brothers offers U27-4 zero house swing excavator rental for the London, ON area, a 2.7-tonne compact excavator designed for excavation work in tight spaces where a conventional machine’s tail swing would create collision risk. The defining feature of the Kubota U27-4 is its zero house swing, which allows the machine to rotate fully without the rear of the machine extending beyond the track width.
This makes it a strong choice for excavation directly beside foundation walls, along fences, within confined courtyards, and on residential sites where clearance is limited. Available for half-day, full-day, multi-day, and weekly rentals from our Otterville, ON yard.
What a Zero House Swing Excavator Is
A conventional mini excavator has a rear body that extends past the tracks during rotation. On open sites, that usually is not a problem. On tighter residential or commercial sites, that tail swing can strike fences, walls, buildings, parked vehicles, or finished surfaces.
A zero house swing excavator is engineered so the rear of the machine stays within the width of the tracks throughout the swing arc. In practical terms, the U27-4 can work in spaces only as wide as the machine itself, without needing the additional swing clearance of a conventional excavator.
What the Kubota U27-4 Is Built For
- Narrow Urban Lot Excavation
On older or tighter residential properties, the U27-4 allows excavation beside homes and property-line structures without constant repositioning.
- Foundation Underpinning and Wall-Side Excavation
The U27-4 is well suited to bench excavation directly beside foundation walls, where conventional excavators create too much swing risk.
- Excavation Inside Walled Courtyards and Enclosed Areas
This machine is a practical fit for bounded work zones where swing clearance is very limited.
- Property Line Drainage and Utility Trenching
The U27-4 handles trenching between foundations and fences where the working corridor is tight but still accessible.
- Basement Waterproofing and Perimeter Drainage
It is especially useful for tight perimeter excavation, including corner work around foundation walls.
- Operating Weight: 2,680 kg (5,908 lbs)
- Zero House Swing: Yes
- Max Digging Depth: 2,900 mm (9 ft 6 in)
- Max Reach at Ground Level: 4,600 mm (15 ft 1 in)
- Bucket Digging Force: 17.7 kN (3,979 lbf)
- Engine Output: 15.5 kW / 20.8 HP
- Fuel Type: Diesel
- Track Width: 230 mm rubber tracks
- Tail Swing Radius: Zero, within track width
- Transport Width: 1,390 mm (4 ft 7 in)
- Blade Width: 1,390 mm (55 in)
The most important practical specification is the zero tail swing. The U27-4 stays within its own 1,390 mm width through rotation, which is what makes it effective for close-to-structure excavation where a conventional excavator would require much more caution and clearance.

A zero house swing excavator is designed so the rear of the machine stays within the width of the tracks when rotating. That allows it to work beside walls, fences, and structures without the tail-swing clearance required by conventional machines.
Choose the U27-4 when the site is accessible but the job is close to structures, fences, or walls where tail swing would be a problem. Choose the KX-033 when the site is more open and you want more power and reach.
The Kubota U27-4 has a maximum digging depth of about 2,900 mm (9 ft 6 in), which is suitable for many residential drainage, perimeter, and utility trenching applications.
No. At 1,390 mm wide, it is narrower than some larger excavators, but it is still generally wider than a standard residential gate. If gate width is the main restriction, the KX-018 is the better fit.
Otterville is approximately 30 km from Brantford, 70 km from Hamilton, and 75 km from London.
