Small machine, big performance
Bring power to a new level, with an increase in traction force of 13% and 2 130 kg combined digging forces. The 11% longer undercarriage contributes to even better all-round lifting capacity and stability compared to the previous generation. To do so, add the smooth combination of movements that make sorting easier as well as the ability to work near the blade or complete jobs on site has never been faster.

Compact by design
With a variable undercarriage that pulls back to less than 1m and extends up to 1.35m, combined with reduced machine height down to below 2.35m, you can rely on the compact excavator when working in confined places. The machine design ensures right-hand frame corner, swing post and cylinders stay inside the tracks; resulting in maximum visibility conditions and a reduced risk of machine damage while working alongside obstacles.

Best-in-class serviceability
Complete speed maintenance tasks thanks to the hinged fuel tank, which gives impressive access to the engine compartment and makes daily check points easy to locate. A 50 hour lubricating interval also contributes to the best serviceability of this machine.
Safety first
Safety is fitted to the machine with a ROPS/TOPS/FOPS cab and canopy, large entrance including high level of visibility plus an orange seat belt as standard for easy checks by site managers.
The operator's choice
The spacious and uncluttered cab is designed to keep operators comfortable and productive, while their flat floor makes it easy to stay clean. Superior visibility, ease of layout of controls, fingertip controls and large travel pedals contribute to great ease of operation.
