Powerful Lifting Operation

The Auto Power Lift mode, which automatically increases the

surge lifting force by 10% when needed, allows for powerful
lifting of buried concrete pipes or sheathing sheets.

Boosted Swing Torque

Allows for powerful wall cutting with the bucket, and smooth
swing operation on slope.

Enhanced Power Boost

The Power Boost mode allows the operator to surge 10%

more digging force for powerful excavation by pressing its
button on the control lever.

Swift Front Movements with HIOS* III Hydraulics 10% * Reduction in Fuel Consumption
