Low-Effort Joysticks

Low-effort joysticks in R2-Series excavators respond easily to operator input, helping operators work longer with less fatigue.

Dual Flange Roller System

Dual Flange Roller System

Dual flange track rollers extend the undercarriage structure closer to the track’s edge so you can dig with greater confidence over the side of the machine.

Multiple Arm Configurations

Multiple arm configurations are available on select models, including standard, long and extendable. Depending on the reach, depth, power, and lifting performance you need, there’s an arm to meet your job requirements.

Premium Cab
