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 become a champion in 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 excavator also makes an impression in terms of user-friendliness. The intuitive operating concept and excellent view of the work area contribute to the easy and comfortable operation of the machine.

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.

More Features

New positioning of the exhaust system

  • Hot exhaust gases are directed upwards, avoiding possible damage to people or objects. This is a particular advantage in gardening and landscaping (e.g. trench and canal construction). In addition, the stirring up of dust on the ground is considerably reduced.

Guided track rollers outside

  • In particular for lifting heavy loads, the externally located guide track rollers as well as an optimized weight distribution give the excavators a higher lateral stability.

Hydraulic swivelling dozer blade

  • The swivel blade can be swiveled straight or variably by up to 25 degrees to the left or right. This way, the machine does not have to be reset in one direction as often during longer-lasting backfilling tasks. In the floating position, the dozer blade automatically follows the contour of the ground, so that the driver doesn’t have to make adjustments.
  • Infinitely variable swivelling with floating position for more flexibility and efficiency.
Auto-Stop Excavator

Auto-stop

  • To avoid unnecessary diesel consumption, or to reduce the operating hours of the machine, it is possible for the operator to activate the Auto-Stop function. This reduces fuel consumption and protects the environment. Furthermore, unnecessary operating hours and service costs are avoided, and as a result the resale value of the machine is increased.

High cab comfort with excellent ergonomics and air-conditioning system

  • The intuitive operating concept allows for the simple and comprehensive control of the excavator. The joystick, 3.5-inch display, jog dial, and keypad are used to operate the machine, store attachments, control auxiliary circuits or set oil quantities. The well-placed discharge nozzles create a pleasant cab temperature and enable fatigue-free working. The air conditioning system enables a cool down of up to 16 ° C/61° F (at an outside temperature of 38°C/100° F) and this in half the specified ISO standard time.

Stage V emission standards

  • To implement this European emissions directive, we install state-of-the-art engine technologies equipped with exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. DPF regeneration takes place automatically when required and during normal working operation. Therefore, no standstill regeneration is necessary and the working cycle is not interrupted. The more stable coolant temperature increases the lifetime of the diesel engine and, thanks to thermal management, also the efficiency of the cab heater.
  • New technology to increase efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions - reducing harmful diesel particulate, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide emissions. The filter does not require additives, nor a burner or additional power sources, and the operator is not required to intervene manually.
JogDial control unit of the ET42 and EZ50

Jog dial

  • The jog dial system, familiar from the automotive area, including a clear display, allows intuitive selection of the right operating settings via a press-push button as well as various settings via a keypad. ECO mode is the standard mode for efficient and fuel-saving work; HI mode stands for maximum pump performance and fast, powerful work and LOW mode for extremely precise, sensitive work.

10 large tie-downs

  • 6 large lashing eyes on the chassis frame and 4 more on the superstructure ensure easy and fast tie and secure transport of the machine.
  • The eyelets are perfectly placed for secure attachment of the machine and they are also suitable for large hooks.

7-inch display and rear-view camera

  • The large, multi-functional 7-inch color display ensures a perfect overview of all the machine's functions, as well as the respective camera images. The rearview camera enables safer reversing of the excavator. In addition, the view of the machine is better when it is rotated.

AUX pressure relief

  • When the function is activated, the auxiliary control circuits AUX I / AUX II are depressurized via a valve. This facilitates the connection of hydraulic attachments. Tools can also be attached while the engine is running by means of a pressure release.

Innovative front windshield system

  • The windshields can be adjusted to any condition on the construction site. Closed, they are water- and windproof. The upper front window can be pushed under the cabin roof. The lower pane serves as splash protection. The lower windshield slides behind the upper window, making it ideal for talking with colleagues. If necessary, both windows are pushed below the cabin roof, where they are stored safely.
  • The two-part front window allows for optimal ventilation in the cabin in any weather. In addition, it makes it easier to communicate with the operator. A separate removal and storage of the window is a thing of the past.
  • Significantly lower risk of damage or loss; higher level of operating comfort

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.
