Zero-tail Swing With zero-tail swing,even the tightest space becomes an efficient work place. The tail alwaysstays within the width of the tracks (when extended) and lets you turn the canopy throughoutits 360-degree turning radius with complete confidence and safety.Starting point by developingour zero-tail S18, balance,fast and smooth operation was our main target. It results in acompact excavator with excellent balance and comes to its full potential in urban environmentslandscaping, and small demolition in and outside buildings. |
