For safer, more efficient operation in tight, single traffic lanes, compact and reduced radius excavators are the perfect choice.
Tail Swing Is Minimal Compared to Standard Excavators
Compact radius swing excavators are ideal for work in tight quarters and restricted spaces such as single lanes of traffic in road and bridge construction.
Tail swing is minimal compared to standard excavators. When rotated, the minimal amount of rounded counterweight extends beyond the track width.
Boom Repositioned
To further minimize the working envelope, the boom is positioned more towards the center of the machine versus a standard excavator. This reduces the front swing and this design also increases the lift capacity of the machines over the front when compared to standard excavators.
In addition, to enhance operator safety in restricted areas, cab doors slide open alongside the cab instead of swinging outward.
