The IT revolution had a tremendous influence on the technology of construction equipment as well. The satellite operation management system was developed during the 90's as a method to supervise and manage equipment from a remote distance, and became an industry standard during this era.
This model was equipped with the newest engine technology "ecot3". It incorporated two operation modes, "prioritizing productivity" and "prioritizing fuel economy", according to the characteristics of the large shovel. It also added 3 more levels to the "prioritizing fuel economy" mode to select from, which improved fuel efficiency even further.
"Reinforced stone crushing bucket" with superb durability was part of the standard specs, and for the bucket tooth, it adopted the [XS] tooth system that used the original blade shape. It maintained blade sharpness and high penetration performance for a long time.
Weight: 109900kg, Bucket capacity: 5.2m3
Hydraulic excavator
Since its first emergence in 1951, it took only 50 years for the hydraulic shovel to establish its primary position on construction sites worldwide. Its size ranges from mini to super size depending on the scale of construction, and during the half century, it kept evolving by achieving a minimum rear-swing radius and adapting styles that would work with characteristics of each site. Mirroring the movement of a human hand, a hydraulic shovel will continue to evolve during the 21st century.
