    Flexible adjustable chassis
    The chassis width can be flexibly adjusted between 720mm and 1050mm to adapt to different working conditions. When narrow, it easily traverses narrow areas; when wide, it increases the ground contact area, lowers the center of gravity, and enhances stability and safety on soft and complex terrains.

    Powerful deflection feature
    The working device can tilt left and right by up to 60 degrees and 45 degrees, respectively. Combined with the vehicle's rotation, it can excavate parallel to walls in narrow spaces, adapting to extreme urban conditions and expanding operational capabilities and scenarios.

    High-efficiency power system
    Equipped with a Yanmar engine, it is durable and has a long lifespan. The turbocharging and indirect injection technology optimizes fuel atomization, enhances combustion efficiency, provides powerful performance, and adapts to harsh working conditions.

    Universal tool interface

    Design standardized attachment interfaces to seamlessly connect various attachments such as hydraulic hammers, grapples, and pile drivers, meeting the needs of different engineering projects in urban construction, landscaping, and water conservancy.
