The tail of the upper body extends very little past the back end of the crawlers so that the operator can concentrate on the job at hand instead of worrying about the position of the counterweight. This not only improves operating efficiency but reduces costs associated with collision damage.

The compact design allows the machine to perform continuous 180° dig, swing and load operations within a working space of just 3.5 m.

The iNDr cooling system also helps to keep the machine quiet, even at close quarters. Even the hydraulic relief valves have been designed specifically to reduce irritating noise during operation.

Electrical shielding ensures that the machines clear all European standards and neither cause or are affected by electromagnetic interference.

The engine used in the GEOSPEC machines represents the crystallization of various cutting-edge technologies that minimize the emission of PM (Particulate Matter), NOx, black smoke, and other emissions, thus meeting all internationally recognized environmental regulations, including US EPA Tier III, NRMM (Europe) Stage IIIA, and the latest Japanese regulations.

This function saves fuel and cuts emissions by shutting down the engine automatically when the machine is on stand by. It also stops the hourmeter, which helps to retain the machine’s asset value.
