Tyres / Tracks

Small but tough
The unique high profile counterweight design consists of three strong cast iron pieces that wrap around the rear of the machine and protect all major components. All-round steel plates, 10mm recessed in by the counterweight, provide further protection.
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.
