Small but tough

The ultra-short tail radius of the ECR18 Electric, along with the frame corner, swing post and cylinder which stay safely within the tracks’ width, provide maximum versatility, visibility and reduced risk of machine damage when digging alongside obstacles. ​​Protection has been considered throughout every detail of the design with a unique high-profile counterweight made from strong cast iron which wraps around the rear of the machine, combined with all-around steel panels and hoses routed inside the boom.​

Built with durability in mind ​

The unique high-profile counterweight design is made from three strong pieces of cast iron which wrap around the rear of the machine, protecting all vital components. All-round steel panels, recessed 10mm from the counterweight and hoses routed inside the boom offer further protection.
