Same old telematics or non-compulsory complicated telematics spice up productiveness and uptime even farther. And, preserving the long run in thoughts, the excavators’ connectivity platform helps the mixing of upcoming carrier improvements.
Those mini excavators additionally function an absolutely refreshed cab atmosphere designed to stay the operator relaxed, secure and productive all day. A high-definition touchscreen show provides useful purposes like attachment presets, rear and aspect digicam perspectives, carrier period settings and Bluetooth pairing.
All 3 machines come with new seats with non-compulsory air suspension, wider adjustable armrests and a brand new tiltable left-hand console for more straightforward access and go out.
