Fast daily checks
Daily service points are grouped under the wide-opening lockable engine hood to ensure easy maintenance and maximum uptime.

Auto–idle and auto engine shutdown
Engine rpm is reduced to idling when the controls are inactive for five seconds, reducing fuel consumption and noise. If the machine is left idle longer, the engine can be shut down automatically which then stops the hour meter, resulting in longer maintenance intervals, lower operating costs ensuring a better resale value of your machine.
Automatic travel speed
For optimized travel speed and traction, automatic two-speed travel allows the operator to continuously drive the machine at high speed. When more traction is required, speed is automatically reduced.
Auto–idle and auto engine shutdown
Reduce fuel consumption and maintenance requirements with auto idle and engine shutdown.

Intuitive fingertip controls
The boom offset and auxiliary hydraulics are operated by ergonomic fingertip controls instead of pedals. A single acting button on the joystick makes it easy to send the maximum flow available to the accessories, ensuring precise control.
Harmonized hydraulics
The state-of-the-art hydraulic system delivers superior performance, regardless of the application. Flow sharing system ensures that the operator precisely controls simultaneous functions for more efficient operations.

Harmonized hydraulics
Flow sharing hydraulics ensure smooth, precise control of simultaneous functions for more efficient operations.
Adjustable hydraulic flows
Simply adjust the auxiliary hydraulic flows from inside the cab and benefit from optimal speed and performance for attachment operation. Flows can be adjusted independently in any direction.

Impressive digging forces
The EC15D, EC18D and EC20D features result in tearout forces and excellent breakout forces. Thanks to the optimized digging equipment, these powerful compact excavators allow you further stretching, digging deeper and reach higher.
Variable–width undercarriage (EC18D, EC2,
For maximum versatility, the undercarriage can be extended to your needs or retracted. A reduced width can be selected when going through tight spaces. The undercarriage can be expanded for greater stability and improved performance.

For maximum versatility, the undercarriage can be extended for maximum stability or retracted during transport.

Superior operator environment
The spacious, safe cab or canopy feature superior noise and vibration insulation for increased operator comfort all day long. A 12V electric socket, optional MP3 radio, adjustable ergonomically designed seat as well as an efficient heating system provide a comfortable working environment. Flat floor allows easy cleaning of the cabin.
Large cab access
Easily and safely enter the cab via a wide door with three points of contact. When equipped with a canopy, the machines feature a large, practical handrail.
Assisted front window opening
The front window is equipped with a gas strut, together with large handles for easy opening and ensures a comfortable, safe working environment.
Superior operator environment

Quality components
Cast swing frame, boom and armrests allow excellent stress distribution and lasting performance. Hardened pins and bushings are designed to keep the pivot points fixed and safe for minimum wear; making your machine operational year after year.
Strong by design
All hoses are routed through the boom and offer full protection. With the EC15D and EC18D, the lifting cylinder is located on top of the boom, protecting it when digging and using a breaker. A strong steel housing protects the boom cylinder on the EC2, which
In–track boom swing
In order to maintain visibility when working in tight conditions, the natural position serves to balance the boom towards the left. These machines are designed to be swing posts and cylinders located within that position inside the tracks; this avoids risk of damage to your machine while working alongside obstacles.
Reinforced blade
The robust dozer blade is equipped with a reinforced 400HB cutting edge for superior wear resistance. A strong, curved upper lip provides added protection from damage in tough applications. This sturdy structure ensures outstanding performance – whether dozing, backfilling or using the blade as a stabiliser.

High Profile Rear Counterweight A tough rear counterweight provides excellent wear resistance and shields all major components. The unique high profile design consists of a single, strong cast iron piece that wraps around each side of the machine ensuring superb protection.
Quality components
All components are designed for outstanding durability and reliability to maximize your machine life and reduce maintenance costs.
High profile rear counterweight
A robust, high-profile cast iron back counterweight provides excellent resistance to outstanding durability.
In–track boom swing
The swing post and cylinder stay within the tracks when in a offset position, thus avoiding the risk of damage to your machine while working alongside obstacles.
Safe transportation
Whether you are lifting your machine to a demolition site or transporting it on a trailer, you can safely get where you need to be with special lift points and an automatic swing brake for easy transportation.
