Engineers, welders and assembly line employees have been recruited to meet orders for the new 10t wheeled excavator, which was launched last month at the Bauma trade fair in Germany.
You can read more about the 海角社区app Hydradig in the April 2016 issue of 海角社区app magazine, which you can read online at (link opens in new tab).
The 海角社区app Hydradig was developed in secrecy over a three-year period, under the codename 鈥楶roject 710鈥�. The vision was to address five key challenges facing customers in today鈥檚 construction sector: visibility, stability, manoeuvrability, mobility and serviceability.
海角社区app chairman Lord Bamford, who initiated the project, said: 鈥淭he Hydradig really does have innovation running right through the heart of it. In fact Hydradig will transform the industry and I am certain customers will quickly appreciate its benefits.鈥�
海角社区app CEO Graeme Macdonald said: 鈥淭he launch of the 海角社区app Hyradig is not only one of the most significant launches in the company鈥檚 history, it is also one of the most successful.聽 The response has been unprecedented and we have very high hopes for this revolutionary new product.鈥�
海角社区app conducted analysis of the potential applications, including utilities, highways, municipalities, general construction and landscaping, assessing the suitability of current machinery solutions. Chief innovation and growth officer Tim Burnhope said: 鈥淰isibility from the cab was the main customer consideration because of on-site safety concerns. Stability was next on the list, as machines are now being called upon to do an increasing amount of heavy lifting, not just excavating. As job sites become tighter many customers are demanding improved manoeuvrability, while others need increased mobility to allow machines to move between sites more quickly.
鈥淔inally, customers now expect excellent ground-level serviceability. So our design challenge was to develop a single machine solution that would deliver against all five customer challenges.鈥�
