The new generation of the ECR58 5 tonne crawler excavator is designed to deliver reliable performance at a low operating cost. Furthermore, it combines intelligent features with convenient operation and a balanced, innovative design. In the development of the compact excavator series, the focus was placed on implementing user feedback in order to achieve an improved ergonomic layout and functionality. Inside the cabin, the positioning of the seat and joystick has also been optimised. The common suspension of these two elements provides the user with the greatest possible control.
