Engine
A rugged EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV PowerTech™ diesel engine meets rigid emission regulations, enabling you to work, wherever there's work — without compromising power, reliability, or ease of operation.
Cooling
Highly efficient, heavy-duty cooling system keeps things cool, even in tough environments or high altitudes. Optional reversing fan back-blows cooler cores to reduce debris buildup. It's a welcome addition that helps increase uptime.
Structures
A new hood design ensures optimal visibility to the sides and rear, even with the increased under-the-hood space requirements of EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV components.
Durability
Thick-plate single-sheet mainframe, box-section track frames, and industry- exclusive double-seal swing bearing deliver rock-solid durability. Reinforced D-channel side frames provide maximum cab and component protection.
Cab
Operators will also appreciate the comfortable fabric-covered high-back seat and generous legroom in the spacious, well-appointed cab.
CONTROLS
Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, predictable fingertip control with less movement or effort. Pushbuttons in the right lever allow fingertip control of auxiliary hydraulic flow for operating attachments.
VISIBILITY
Wide expanse of front and side glass, narrow front cab posts, large overhead glass, and several mirrors provide virtually unobstructed all-round visibility. If you need to see more, choose the camera option that displays the action behind on the monitor.
Service
Swing open the side panels and you'll discover many of the numerous ways this excavator can minimize maintenance, increase uptime, and reduce daily operating costs.
