Volvo’s ECR Short-Swing Excavator Range Work in Confined Spaces The result of extensive customer consultation — highlighting the need for short swing machines that offer productivity, ease of operation and safety equal to their “conventional” counterparts — sees the addition of a third, larger model to the Volvo range.

The 34.8 ton (31.6 t) Volvo ECR305CL overcomes the dynamic challenges of producing excavators that can work in confined areas and still perform well and sets a new standard in the industry for not only lifting capacity but also stability — especially important in loading applications. With better weight distribution and increased swing torque, the Volvo ECR305CL also offers superior swing performance when working on slopes, according to the manufacturer.

Whether operating in cities, laying utilities, mining duties, highway work, in addition to a multitude of other, diverse applications, the increased safety and maneuverability offered by short swing excavators on congested work sites has seen the rapid growth of this important segment in the market.

Like the smaller machines in the range, the compact body on the Volvo ECR305CL swings only fractionally outside its own track width — less than 3.1 in. (80 mm) with 31.5 in. (800 mm) shoe — enabling it to work extremely close to objects (walls, road barriers etc.) without risk of collision with the rear of the machine as it swings.

Even when not working close to obstructions, the short front/rear radius has other uses — highway work being a prime example, where the machine can safely swing within a typical single road lane width, minimizing disruption with traffic flow.

The all-new, rounded cab on Volvo’s short swing models, also is designed

The compact body on the Volvo ECR305CL swings only fractionally outside its own track width — less than 3.1 in. (80 mm) with 31.5 in. (800 mm) shoe.

to stay within the rear swing radius.

Despite this design consideration, it remains a roomy and comfortable cab. The sliding door provides the operator with the ability to access and exit the cab even when it is positioned close to an obstruction, such as close to a wall. While at work, the heating and ventilation system ensures the perfect working environment, regardless of weather conditions.

The new cab features, as on all other C-Series excavator models, a larger, brighter, color LCD monitor, providing both a built-in service display and selectable hydraulic control options.This monitor also can be used with an optional, rear view camera, further increasing machine operating safety.

Despite its compact design, the Volvo ECR305CL is both easy to service and maintain. All check and cleaning points are readily accessible; many of them available via a wide opening side door. The optional CareTrack GPS system conducts a self diagnostic routine, alerting the opera-

tor — or the fleet manager back at the office — should a fault be detected. Enabling preventive maintenance operations to be carried out, CareTrack helps to optimize machine uptime and, consequently, return on the customer’s investment, according to the manufacturer.

With its latest generation, Tier III, fuel-efficient, Volvo engine with VACT ((Volvo Advanced Combustion Technology) developing 107 hp (143 kW), the Volvo ECR305CL has the power to perform any task thrown at it, with plenty in reserve. The bucket range on the Volvo ECR305CL is from 1.3 to 2.7 cu. yd. (1.0 to 2.1 cu m) and a wide range of genuine Volvo attachments also is available, as are quick fit options to ensure speedy attachment changes, for maximum machine versatility.

Fitted with a heavier counterweight, the Volvo ECR305CL offers added stability, providing it with its heavy lift capability.

Atlas Copco Construction Tools Offers HB 7000 Hydraulic Breaker The HB 7000 hydraulic breaker attachment from Atlas Copco Construction Tools LLC boasts a service weight of more than 7 tons (6.3 t), making it ideal for primary and secondary quarry breaking, demolition, tunneling, trenching and foundation work.

Accepting a maximum hydraulic flow of 119 gpm (450 Lpm) at 2,610 psi, the HB 7000 delivers an impact rate of up to 450 bpm. This offers maximum productivity in extreme breaking conditions.

The HB 7000 comes standard with AutoControl, a monitoring system that allows the breaker to adapt its frequency and power output to match operating conditions. It begins by firing the first stroke at half power to create a pilot notch that will center the working tool and prevent unnecessary slippage.

It then adjusts the power output to match the density of the specified material to be broken. This reduces excess shock to both the breaker and carrier lengthening the service life on tension bolts and retainer bars.

To further maximize efficiency, the HB 7000 features the StartSelect system, which allows start-up and shut-off to be adjusted to fit job-site conditions. In AutoStop mode, the breaker will not fire until the operator applies down pressure on the demolition tool via the carrier. AutoStop eliminates damaging blank firing by circulating the hydraulic oil internally under low pressure when down pressure is not applied to the tool. AutoStop also is ideal for circulating and warming the hydraulic system before breaking in cold climates.

In AutoStart mode, the StartSelect system works hand-in-hand with AutoControl. The breaker begins operating as soon as the working tool comes in contact with the material regardless of down pressure, but power is limited to 50-percent until the demolition tool

Accepting a maximum hydraulic flow of 119 gpm (450 Lpm) at 2,610 psi, the HB 7000 delivers an impact rate of up to 450 bpm.

can be fully seated in the breaker. This assures that the breaker is properly positioned to accept full single blow energy safely without a damaging blank fire. AutoStart mode makes the breaker more versatile and is ideal for demolition applications.

An energy recovery system that pre-

ConstructionEquipmentGuide.com Excavators and Attachments 2009

vents damage from piston recoil on extremely hard materials also is standard on the HB 7000. The energy recovery system consists of a shuttle valve that detects piston rebound and a highpressure accumulator that stores energy from piston recoil to use on succeeding strokes, making them faster and more powerful. Recycling recoil energy increases breaker efficiency and reduces pressure spikes transmitted back to the carrier.

To reduce excess vibration and noise, the HB 7000 comes equipped with the VibroSilenced damping system. Elastic elements between the percussion mechanism and guide system provide full acoustic insulation, reducing noise by up to 18-dB(A) compared to similar systems.

For prolonged service life, the HB 7000 features DustProtector II and ContiLube II. The optional DustProtector II feature prevents dust penetration by utilizing a reusable sleeve that contacts the working tool at the base of the breaker. This protects the inner mechanism from the damaging effects of dust. ContiLube II is an automatic lubrication system mounted directly on the breaker. Featuring a compact, self-priming pump, ContiLube II eliminates the need to manually grease the breaker before each use.

The HB 7000 uses a working tool of 8.27-in. (21 cm) in diameter at working lengths up to 46-in (117 cm). Available in three lengths for a variety of applications, the HB 7000 tool options include the moil point for multi-purpose use, the flat chisel for rock breaking and demolition and the blunt tool for breaking rock, concrete and oversized material.

Hitachi Introduces New Compact,Swing Boom Excavator

The swing boom enables parallel digging to walls, guard rails, and foundations, making it ideal for excavation and utility work.

The Zaxis 85USB-3 excavator is a compact ultra-short from Hitachi that is the perfect size for all kinds of jobs including landscaping, light residential, urban renewal, and underground utilities Not too big and not too small, the ZX85USB-3 delivers all the power, smoothness, precision, and ease of operation owners and operators expect from the larger Hitachi excavators — in an easy-to-maneuver package, according to the manufacturer.

The unit lets the operator focus on the “business end” of production and worry less about what’s behind. And it reduces the potential for damage to the surrounding area or to the machine itself. Getting closer to the action also eliminates the need for a lot of hand work.

The unit can be fitted with steel shoes or with rubber pads or rubber crawler belts. The new shape of the backfill blade provides better crowding performance, additional machine

stability, and is easier to see by the operator. The swing boom enables parallel digging to walls, guard rails, and foundations, making it ideal for excavation and utility work, according to the manufacturer.

tures a deluxe suspension cloth seat, advanced multilingual LCD monitor, slide-open front glass, generous leg room, short-throw/low-effort controls, and tinted, transparent roof window.

Scalpel-Like Precision With Less Effort At the heart of this new excavator is the match of the turbo-charged Isuzu 4LE2X engine and Hitachi’s own HIOS III hydraulic system. The Isuzu Interim Tier-IV-certified engine works well at high altitudes without sacrificing performance. Regenerative flow on the boom, stick and bucket cylinders result in faster down movements, extremely fine control, and multitasking.

Lower Fuel Consumption, More Torque Two engine modes can be selected to match engine rpm to the operating conditions and application. The E (economy) mode for light-duty work reduces fuel consumption from eight to twelve percent, by lowering engine speed — without sacrificing productivity. It also reduces noise levels.

The P (standard) mode provides a balance of power and fuel economy for most tasks. It controls the engine speed from slow idle to fast idle in response to the position of the engine speed dial.

Gradall XL 3100 III Excavator Delivers High Value Versatility Package

The XL 3100 III is designed to deliver a maximum reach of 27 ft. 5 in. (8.4 m) at grade; a dig depth of 19 ft. 4 in. (5.9 m); and a maximum working height of 16 ft. 3 in. (5.0 m).

The Gradall XL 3100 III excavator, currently being introduced by Gradall Industries, shares new operation and fleet management advantages with other Gradall Series III excavator models. But what really sets this 40,000-lb. (18,144 kg) workhorse apart from the other excavators is its ability to present a cost-efficient solution to many different tasks on many different kinds of jobs.

Like all Series III excavators, the XL 3100 III has a shorter rear swing, allowing it to work effectively in traffic lanes, at the side of highways and on tight job sites. A new Detroit Diesel Mercedes engine powers the carrier — either 4 x 2 or 4 x4 — at highway speeds to distant job sites. The same engine also supplies power to the boom and upperstructure, reducing fuel consumption and engine service requirements. Highway mobility also eliminates the need for lowboy trailers, and enables fleet managers to return the machine to the safety of equipment yards at night.

Repositioning is accomplished from the upper cab,which has a number of new features for operator comfort and efficiency.

For example,one switch in the cab controls carrier speed during repositioning. Using another switch, operators can select Gradall, Deere or SAE joystick patterns, shortening the learning curve for operators who are new to the Gradall telescoping,tilting boom.

Joysticks in the armrests of the comfortable seating module can be used to con-

trol the boom and properly position attachments for full productivity and extra versatility. Unlike conventional excavators or machines with boom-end pivot attachments, Gradall excavators maintain full boom forces through the entire digging cycle and entire boom tilt.The telescoping boom action also allows the excavator to reach under bridges, signs, tree limbs and other obstructions where conventional knuckle booms won’t fit.

The XL 3100 III is designed to deliver a maximum reach of 27 ft. 5 in. (8.4 m) at grade;a dig depth of 19 ft.4 in.(5.9 m);and a maximum working height of 16 ft. 3 in.

(5.0 m).

High pressure, load sensing hydraulics prepare the XL 3100 III and its unique boom movements to handle the jobs of many different machines. Use the XL 3100 III to excavate, demolish, load and unload trucks, lift and position pipe, use a grapple to clear streams and vegetation, or spread rip-rap. Gradall excavators also are able to cut V-ditches, create slopes, spread topsoil and create a finished grade.

The advanced hydraulics system has pressure-compensated, load-sensing valves with circuit reliefs on all circuits.This system delivers the right amount of hydraulic power to the boom, increasing cost efficiency and fuel consumption, according to the manufacturer.

Rated bucket breakout force is 17,990 lbs. (111 kN). Telescoping boom crowd force is 21,940 lbs.(109 kN).

The XL 3100 III carrier cab has extra sound-deadening material, an optional tilt steering wheel and a 9-speed transmission and clutch with hydraulic actuation and double plate. Other standard features include hub piloted disc wheels,upper cab wiper and washer, rear tow hooks and an air ride seat in the carrier.

The XL 3100 III shares commonality with other Series III Gradall excavators.Common service parts can simplify inventory and parts management, while the new diesel engine allows for longer periods between oil and filter changes,fuel filter and coolant replacement and valve adjustments. Most service points can be reached at ground level to help assure maximum life and productivity.

Series III excavators also use common attachments including excavating, trenching, ditching, pavement removal and dredging buckets. Also available are a single-tooth ripper, grading blade, tree limb shear,grapple and boom extensions.

Maintenance advantages include an internal swing gear, planetary tilt transmission that’s “lubed for life” and the elimination of boom tilt rollers to avoid service time for roller lubrication and adjustment.

The Gradall network of authorized distributors supports all Gradall excavators, supplying service advice and parts that meet Gradall engineering specifications.

Nye Ripper Takes on the Toughest Surfaces The MOAR (Mother of all rippers) is a new concept in heavy duty ripping from Nye. These rippers are built with extra steel plates to make them super heavy, the extra weight is additive to the carriers downward force, yielding enhanced penetration and performance.

The MOAR was originally conceived in Nova Scotia, Canada, for ripping shale on a particularly tough job where blasting was not permitted. Conventional

rippers could only scratch the surface and were ineffective at penetrating the stratified rock. MOAR rippers are effective in: rock, shale, sandstone, coral, asphalt and frozen ground.

Nye produces MOAR rippers for excavators in the 15 to 100 ton (13.6 to 91 t) range. Quick coupler and pin-grabber models are offered by the company.

LiuGong Introduces 21 Ton Excavator It’s been quite a year for LiuGong Machinery Corporation. This past year, the company received China’s only “National Quality Award” for the machine industry.

And now, LiuGong’s North American division is introducing its 21 ton (19 t) excavator to dealers in March.

The LiuGong 922LCIII excavator is the most popular size sold in the United States.

The machine has been tested by U.S.operators over the past year and received rave reviews from dealers and customers alike for its performance and competitive price, according to the manufacturer.

The 922LCIII ensures higher customer service, being backed by LiuGong’s “National Quality Award,” the highest honor in Chinese quality management.

This is awarded to those companies who have established quality improvement processes which will drive continuous improvement based on customer feedback. The National Quality Award is the equivalent of the Malcolm Baldridge

award in the United States.

“Customers will see excellent production and durability from a machine that provides great value,” said George Lumpkins, director of aftermarket support and product development of the 922LCIII. To make sure the 922LCIII is as efficient as possible,LiuGong gave it a powerful,U.S. manufactured Cummins Tier III 6.9 L engine which produces 155 hp (115 Kw) and has 456 ft./lbs.of torque.

Users also will notice cost savings when using this machine.

“Because of the low acquisitions cost, plus the fact that the 922LCIII will move equal or greater quantities of material, the customer’s cost per yard of material moved is significantly lower,”stated Ron Hargrave, president of LiuGong North America.

New Generation of Mechanical Quick Coupler Is Simple,Efficient

The Klac system reduces the amount of time spent unhitching and hitching attachments because of its simple design with fewer parts that eliminates the need to adjust, service or grease the coupler.

Rockland Manufacturing, based in Bedford, Pa., has introduced the Klac system — a mechanical quick coupler for mini-excavators from 2,200 to 22,000 lbs.

(998 to 9,980 kg).The Klac system reduces the amount of time spent unhitching and hitching attachments because of its simple design with fewer parts that eliminates the need to adjust, service or grease the coupler. The Klac system is adaptable to any mini-excavator bucket, and its rugged cast steel construction ensures long wear life.

Owners of mini-excavators historically have dealt with mechanical coupler systems that require safety pins, keys, nuts, cams, seals, thread mechanisms and/or wedges,among other parts.These systems can be time-consuming to use because they require the operator to leave the cab for unhitching and hitching. Often the operator also must leave the cab after hitching to adjust slack and/or alignment on the attachment after it is mounted. In

ConstructionEquipmentGuide.com Excavators and Attachments 2009

addition, many mechanical coupler systems add length to the angle of the bucket, changing the working geometry of the entire machine and lowering its breakout force.

With the Klac system, the operator unlocks the coupler by pulling a lever.The Klac system then can lock a new attachment into place automatically, without the need for a safety pin. The Klac system features double safety levels, using two springs versus one. Because it follows the original machine’s digging geometry,there is no loss of breakout force.

While a hydraulic quick coupler is the most efficient coupler type in terms of operation, it is often expensive, with laborintensive installation. The Klac system offers mini-excavator owners a mechanical coupler that is simple,inexpensive and efficient,according to the manufacturer.

Zaxis 350LC-3 Is a Versatile Performer Beefed-up in several critical areas and powered by Isuzu’s six-cylinder Tier-III-certified engine, the ZX350LC-3 performs more like its larger production-sized siblings,according to the manufacturer.Swing torque, traction force, and digging force have all been increased over previous models.The P Mode increases production; the E mode can reduce fuel consumption.

The Zaxis 350LC-3 weighs 77,269 lbs.

(35,049 kg) and comes standard with a 13ft. 1-in. (4 m) arm, a 16,314 lb. (7,400 kg) counterweight, and 32-in. (80 cm) triple semi-grouser shoes.Other arm lengths are optionally available.

Engine and Hydraulics Powering the 350LC-3 is the Isuzu AH6HK1YSA-01 engine, with a rated power of 271 SAE net hp (202 kW) at 1,900 rpm. A fresh new design, rather than a re-work of older technology, the Isuzu Tier-III-certified engine achieves increased fuel efficiency and greater output primarily through a common-rail fuel-injection system and the cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system that uses an isochronous control for the electronic governor.

Working in synergistic tandem with the engine is the Hitachi HIOS III hydraulic system, formulated to specifically match the Isuzu’s torque curve. When combining functions such as boom-up, arm-in, bucket-curl, and travel, HIOS III ensures smooth and powerful performance — no one function is sacrificed for another. Swing speed is 10.7 rpm.

Comfy Cab The CRES II cab has a wide, comfortable seatback, more foot room, and a much larger right-side window for visibility.

greater external pressures.The widescreen color LCD monitor is multilingual and multifunctional. From the seat, the operator can make simple oil flow adjustments for attachments, monitor 32 items, and track maintenance for 14 items. Short-throw, low-effort levers mean fingertip control is truly possible.

Built for Durability Like all Dash-3 excavators, the undercarriage X-beam is stronger — due to monolithic plates top and bottom instead of conventional welded plates. Box sections are larger. Side frame height has been increased for greater rigidity.

Track links are thicker and have been reshaped for higher durability. Instead of the conventional one, three track guards are now provided, protecting the track links from disengagement during steering.

ConstructionEquipmentGuide.com Excavators and Attachments 2009

Wider idler brackets, thicker idler bracket locking plates, and bigger, stronger upper and lower rollers also contribute to durability and reliability, according to the manufacturer.

The track chain is sealed and lubricated.

The upperstructure continues with Hitachi’s signature D-section frame skirt to increase rigidity.The boom foot,boom top, and arm cylinder mounting area have been strengthened. HN bushings, using Hitachi’s own molybdenum-based lubricant, are used at the boom-arm joint and arm cylinder mounting area for better lubrication and higher durability. At the arm-bucket joint, the arm top is hardened with tungsten-carbide thermal spraying for greater wear resistance at its contact surface with the bucket.

Kubota Unveils Super Double Boom Utility Class Excavator

Kubota’s KX080-3 super double boom 8-ton (7.2 t) utility class excavator features an expandable boom that adds reach and functionality to the excavator, allowing operators to work closer to the machine as well as reach further, dig deeper and level wider ranges than an excavator with a standard boom.

Kubota has introduced the KX080-3 super double boom 8-ton (7.2 t) utility class excavator. The double boom adds length and functionality to the machine while allowing operators to reach further, dig deeper and level wider ranges.

Kubota’s KX080-3 super double boom is ideal for contractors and landscapers looking for a versatile excavator.

“The super double boom on our KX080-3 is the latest development in the utility class excavator market,” said Keith Rohrbacker, Kubota product manager. “The expandable boom feature lets professional operators continue working while repositioning the machine less, resulting in a more productive work site. In fact, the KX080-3 super double boom provides a wider working range than many larger excavators.”

Wider Working Range Whether the job calls for leveling, dumping, or digging, the Kubota KX080-3 super double boom delivers greater performance than a standard

boom. The super double boom is designed to bring the bucket more than 3 ft. (.9 m) closer to the machine, making it easy to hold soil in front of the blade when leveling, while eliminating the small piles of rocks and rubble often left by a standard boom. Other features include a dumping height of just over 20 ft. (6 m) and a digging depth of slightly more than 15 ft. (4.6 m).The wide leveling range with a wide tilt bucket also allows operators to easily level and finish on uneven surfaces.

Ease of Operation The super double boom is designed to operate with the simple step of a pedal. Stepping on the left side of the pedal retracts the boom. And stepping on the right side of the pedal extends it.

A breakout force of 14,660 lbs. (6,650 kg) ensures high productivity in the toughest of applications and a tight tail swing allows maneuvering in narrow job spaces. The KX080-3 is equipped with a three-pump load sensing system to ensure consistent performance dur-

ing movement and simultaneous undertaking of applications, according to the manufacturer.

Like the standard KX080-3, the super double boom is equipped with a fourcylinder 70-hp. (52 kW) Kubota diesel engine and an auto idling system that contributes to reduction in noise and fuel consumption. Standard features include: dual auxiliary hydraulic ports, an anti-theft system for added security, deluxe suspension seat with retractable seatbelt, air conditioned cab and travel motors that automatically downshift.

Kubota Tractor Corporation,Torrance, Calif., is the U.S. marketer and distributor of Kubota-branded equipment, including a complete line of tractors up to 118 PTO hp (88 kW), performancematched implements, compact and utility-class construction equipment, consumer lawn and garden equipment, commercial turf products and utility vehicles.

A fully adjustable suspension seat with retractable seat belt lessens fatigue, and pilot proportional joystick controls with wrist rests permit continu-

ous, comfortable operation.

• Productivity The PC35MR-3 is a member of the minimum swing radius (MR) family of compact excavators. This enables the operator to focus on the work in front and worry less about rear swing impacts in confined areas.The PC35MR3 accomplishes these tasks while maintaining high lift capacity and stability.

The PC35MR-3 has an operating weight of 7,909 lbs. (3,587 kg), and features a maximum dig depth of 11 ft. 4 in.

(3.4 m). The standard thumb mounting bracket and auxiliary hydraulics simplify hydraulic thumb installation, enhancing the machine’s capability and versatility.

The optional Power Angle (PA) Blade allows the operator to angle the blade 25 degrees to the right or left, increasing the excavator’s productivity; this is especially useful when backfilling trenches.

• Value The PC35MR-3 gets its power from a Komatsu engine with a net power of 28.9 hp (21.5 kW). The direct injection

engine meets EPA emissions requirements and is fuel efficient without sacrificing power or efficiency. The X-track frame deters the build-up dirt and debris, saving the operator valuable time when cleaning the machine. The single, large diameter swing pin ensures long life and durability of the boom swing mechanism.

• Service and Maintenance To simplify maintenance, Komatsu equipped the PC35MR-3 with numerous features. The operator compartment tilts up for providing access to the hydraulic components and the back of the engine (starter/alternator).The wide opening engine cover and side covers provide outstanding access to daily checkpoints. In addition, the radiator and oil cooler are side by side making them easy to inspect and clean, and it ensures that only the cleanest freshest air reaches each component. Extended greasing and service intervals make it easier to schedule maintenance.

Gradall Rolls Out XL 4100 III Excavator The Gradall XL 4100 III excavator has a single Detroit Diesel Mercedes engine, providing an extra edge in horsepower while cost-efficiently operating both the over-thehighway carrier and the powerful upperstructure and boom. The ability of the operator to drive the excavator to job sites and then back to the safety of the equipment yard at night saves time and eliminates the need for a trailer — a traditional advantage for Gradall’s highway-speed models.

even spreading soil and grading. Rated bucket force is 24,900 lbs. (111 kN) while the telescoping boom crowd force is 24,500 lbs. (109 kN). Unlike conventional excavators, the telescoping boom forces are constant through the entire dig cycle, according to the manufacturer.

The automatic hydraulic system allows operators to concentrate on the joystick controls, built into the large seating module armrests, to mange boom motions that tele-

Like many of the component and service parts on the XL 4100 III, all of the attachments also are interchangeable with the other Gradall Series III machines. For equipment fleet owners and managers, that makes it both economical and efficient to inventory fewer service parts and attachments.

Mobility on the job site is highly efficient because the carrier can be repositioned from the upperstructure cab using foot pedals and a speed selection switch on the control

The XL 4100 III carrier tail swing is 12 in. (30.5 cm) shorter than the XL 4100 II, the model it replaces in the Gradall lineup.

The XL 4100 III carrier tail swing is 12 in.

(30.5 cm) shorter than the XL 4100 II, the model it replaces in the Gradall lineup. The shorter tail swing allows the machine to be more productive on roadside jobs, with less interference with traffic. The carrier is available in either 6 x 4, weighing approximately 47,500 lbs. (21,545 kg) and 6 x 6, weighing approximately 49,420 lbs. (22,416 kg).

The spacious upperstructure cab has more standard comfort features and operating advantages including a switch that allows the operator to select the Gradall, Deere or SAE joystick pattern — a feature that shortens the learning curve for some equipment operators. Another cab switch adjusts carrier speed during repositioning from the upper cab.

The advanced hydraulics system has pressure-compensated, load-sensing valves with circuit reliefs on all circuits. This system delivers the right amount of hydraulic power to the boom, increasing cost efficiency when performing a wide range of jobs from high productivity excavation to loading trucks or

scope, tilt 220 degrees, swing from side to side or up and down. The low profile telescoping boom action allows the XL 4100 III to work where conventional knuckle booms cannot, under bridges and tree limbs or in tunnels.

The boom delivers a maximum reach of 30 ft. 3 in. (9.22 m) at grade; a dig depth of 20 ft. 3 in. (6.17 m); and a lift height of 22 ft.

6 in. (6.83 m).

Increased swing speed and cycle times, combined with the power of high pressure hydraulics, make the XL 4100 III competitive with conventional excavators while also handling the work of many machines. To achieve full versatility, a single operator can quickly change between an array of attachments including excavating, trenching, ditching, pavement removal and dredging buckets. Also available are a single-tooth ripper, grading blade, tree limb shear, grapple, and boom extensions including the Telestick. A live boom extension can give the XL 4100 III the ability to reach over obstacles and into ditches.

panel.

Also designed for comfort as well as efficiency on highways and back roads, the carrier cab has extra sound-deadening material and an optional tilt steering wheel. The carrier has a 9-speed transmission and clutch with hydraulic actuation and double plate.

Other standard features include hub piloted disc wheels, upper cab wiper and washer, rear tow hooks and an air ride seat in the carrier.

Maintenance advantages include an internal swing gear, planetary tilt transmission that’s “lubed for life” and the elimination of boom tilt rollers to avoid service time for roller lubrication and adjustment. The new diesel engine allows for longer periods between oil and filter changes, fuel filter and coolant replacement and valve adjustments.

Most service points can be reached at ground level to help assure maximum life and productivity.
