The ZG036S is a zero-tail-swing compact crawler excavator designed for construction in confined spaces. With an overall width of 1,740 mm and a tail swing radius of just 860 mm, it is well suited to working between buildings, along roadsides, in orchards, and in other areas with limited space.

Powered by a Yanmar 3TNV88F three-cylinder diesel engine rated at 18.2 kW at 2,200 rpm, the compact excavator combines compact dimensions with a boom swing function that facilitates trenching alongside walls, fences, and road edges. A two-speed travel system provides speeds of 2.4 km/h and 4.4 km/h for different working conditions.
