Kaiser’s mobile walking excavators offer unique advantages
Kaiser’s range of walking excavators has been recognised with a nomination for the Bauma Innovation Award.
Among the machines nominated for the award, Kaiser’s updated S-line is undoubtedly the easiest to imagine being used as apart of an expedition to another planet.
It’s bit of a looker as well. Rounded bodywork, enhanced ergonomics and optimised optional equipment not only create visual harmony but also ensure a significant increase in driver comfort.
The new generation of walking mobile excavators reveals a consistent focus on dynamic and at the same time functional design of every element of the vehicle – whether it’s the cab interior, the field of vision inside and out of the cab or the positioning of the heating and air-conditioning system. The cab and superstructure form a single unit which in turn harmonises with the vehicle as a whole. The new design is based on the principle of a compact radius excavator, offering outstanding all-round visibility of the entire working zone. The driver has a direct view of each of the excavator’s pads from the cab.
Integration of the new, significantly more powerful drive and cooling system called for innovative technological concepts and presented a major challenge in the design phase. When it came to developing and designing the new walking mobile excavators, KAISER benefited from the excellent collaboration between its own development team and established industrial designers from the firm “Design Department” based in Linz, Austria.
