Hydraulic System and Standard Configurations
To, co naprawdę wyróżnia ten 1.5 ton excavator apart from competitors is its standard side swing oraz standard chassis extension. In most brands, these are costly add-ons, but we include them as baseline features. The side swing allows the boom to offset independently—perfect for working flush against walls, curbs, or foundations without repositioning the entire machine.
Additionally, the chassis extension feature lets you widen the track gauge from 1,000 mm to 1,200 mm on the fly. This provides extra stability when operating on slopes or lifting heavy attachments, ensuring that your 1.5 ton excavator remains safe and productive in diverse terrains.
For operator comfort, we offer an optional driving cab with air conditioning—a game-changer for those working long shifts in tropical or desert climates. The enclosed cabin significantly reduces noise and dust ingress, protecting both the operator and the machine’s internal components.
