Wacker Neuson ET18 VDS, canopy excavator on trailer.
With the excavator ET18, Wacker Neuson is setting new standards in the 1.7 to 2.4 ton class. The combination of proven elements and intelligent development approaches provides a plus in performance and efficiency. Sophisticated features such as a large cabin and the two-part windshield mechanism also increase operator comfort.
More performance and efficiency
Thanks to the most powerful drive in its class, the ET18 works in a timesaving and efficient manner, providing faster work cycles.
The powerful diesel engine and the innovative hydraulic system increase the digging and pulling power by 30%. The result is increased productivity at lower costs.
Full performance even at high temperatures thanks to the intelligent engine-cooling concept.
Efficient operation – even on the slope
The continuously variable VDS (Vertical Digging System) upper carriage tilting system compensates for inclines of up to 27 % and makes vertical digging on slopes possible. This not only saves time and excavation, but the operator also works in a more ergonomic natural position.
Telescopic undercarriage – ideal combination of stability and compact dimensions
The optional telescoping undercarriage width from 990 to 1300 mm with folding dozer blade is ideal for operations in confined spaces.
Stabilizers fitted to the telescopic trolley ensure a stable standing position with maximum trolley width. The wider chassis makes the machine more stable and safe.
With the narrowest chassis width, the ET18 fits easily through narrow passages, such as doors and easily reaches places of operation that are difficult to access.
