Integrated power train with differential steering and updated hydraulic system work together to provide power and improved machine maneuverability for any pipelayer application.
Electro-hydraulics offer greater response and precise control to variable speed motors of the heavy duty winch for greater machine productivity.
Counterweight profile improves lift capacity.
Differential steering maintains full power to both tracks for best-in class turning even with a loaded boom, increasing maneuverability in tight locations.
Improved machine center of gravity and lengthened track-roller frame with repositioned rear idler places more track on the ground, enhancing slope capability.
