Tracked Conventional Excavator ET42: The boost for every construction site

Full speed ahead: the ET42 mini-excavator combines proven technology with a large dose of innovation to lead the 4-metric ton class. It has the usual high lifting and digging forces, as well as fast work cycles. Thanks to modern technologies, emissions are reduced while efficiency is increased. The ET42's powerful engine meets Stage V emissions standards. The intuitive operating concept means this powerhouse is both user-friendly and comfortable for the operator, while offering an excellent view of the working area.

Flexible cylinder rod protection

• The cylinders and the cylinder rods are protected from damage thanks to the plastic rails, which lengthens their service life and saves costs. Due to their flexible material, they return to their original shape after an impact. Their appearance and characteristics are completely retained.

Load Sensing Flow Sharing

• Load Sensing Flow Sharing enables precise and efficient control of the excavator. The machine adjusts to the load and the joystick movements are always kept the same for the operator.
• The hydraulics work more efficiently, saving energy and ultimately costs. But it also makes operation easier for the operator.
• Load-sensing systems help to regulate the flow rate according to demand. The less power is used, the lower the fuel consumption.

Vertical Digging System VDS+

• The vertical digging system compensates for slopes of up to 15 degrees, making it possible to vertically excavate on a slope. This is not only ergonomic for the operator, but it also saves time and also means less excavated material.
• Up to 25% material and time savings when excavating and filling. Work is safer with up to 20% increased stability.

3-point kinematics

• With 3-point kinematics, the conventional bucket linkage has been taken to a new level. This "3-bolt" design extends the bucket's angle of rotation to 200 degrees - 10% more than conventional bucket linkage. This increases the vertical dig depth as well as the digging forces. This eliminates the need to reposition the excavator as often, significantly increasing efficiency.

Active Working Signal (AWS)

• The red LED strip running diagonally over the engine hood lights up when the joystick control is pressed down. This signals to bystanders nearby that the excavator is ready for operation and can be moved at any time.

Hydraulic thumb

• The optional hydraulic thumb offers, beside a conventional bucket application, a grip function, which expands the spectrum of applications.
• With this additional grip function, material can be cleared away quite easily.

Up to 5 additional control circuits ex work

• Thanks to the optional additional control circuits, our excavators can be equipped with a variety of attachments. This allows for more application possibilities and increased utilization of the excavator.

Protective grating for windshield

• The sturdy grating protects the operator and the windshield from heavier stone impacts or other bulky obstacles without blocking the view.

Very good all-round visibility

• The design of the machine has been specially adapted to the needs of the operator in terms of optimum visibility. For example, the right front track is very visible in the normal sitting position, which significantly increases safety for the operator and the surrounding area.
• Everything in view - ideal view of the attachment and of the right front track as well as the side and partial rear section of the machine

Compact dimensions

• High level of safety during transportation, cost and time savings. The excavator scores points with a low entry height and reduced external dimensions due to the intelligent component arrangement, providing higher stability thanks to the low center of gravity.
• Whether during transportation or in tight spaces: thanks to its compact design, the excavator can easily be taken to your next job site. And on the construction site, the machine can maneuver anywhere easily and quickly, even in confined spaces - for high efficiency in every application.

Hose guidance by swiveling bracket

• Optimum hose routing through the swiveling bracket provides the best possible protection for the hoses against external influences, which extends their service life. The field of vision is not restricted and abrasion of the hoses is significantly reduced.
