HAVE WHEELS, WILL TRAVEL Uneven terrain doesn’t intimidate our wheeled excavators. We’ve increased the oscillation angle by 16 percent over previous models. This improved surface-holding performance on rough roads results in more stable driving and safer operations. We’ve also integrated the transmission with the rear axle and The oscillation angle has been increased by 16 percent over the conventional, improving surface holding performance on rough roads. installed it in an upper position for more efficient power transfer and better ground clearance. Our wheeled models sport fancy yet practical...

IMPROVED EFFICIENCY The new engine increases airflow to the cylinders to boost combustion efficiency. Use of the common-rail-type fuelinjection system means fuel-injection pressure, timing, and volume can be precisely regulated by electronic control for efficient combustion. Isuzu also has the industry’s first cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, which lets part of the exhaust gas mix with suction air for recombustion. An isochronous-controlled electronic governor maintains a constant speed despite changes in engine load, reducing fuel consumption and noise in no-load and light-duty...

IMPROVED OPERATOR CONTROL, MOST COMFORTABLE IN ITS CLASS Cab LARGER Operators, rejoice! The CRES II cab is larger, has more foot room, and comes with a wider, more comfortable seat. There is more visibility to the front and 47-percent more glass to the right. The right downward view and the rear view are improved as well. Fully automatic air conditioning is standard. And the machine is quieter inside and out, thanks to a low-noise-design suppression muffler, a high-efficiency cooling fan with curved blades to reduce air resistance and air flow, a new tread design on the tires, and isochronous...

The large transparent hatch provides excellent visibility overheard. Sliding windows on the front and side enable direct communication between the operator and other workers. Use the foot-operated angle adjustment lever to move the steering tilt column to whatever position is most comfortable for the operator. Multilanguage widescreen color LCD monitor provides easily accessible maintenance, attachment, and operational information. CONTROLS Short-throw levers mean fingertip control with less effort. Independently mounted armrests keep them always in the right position. Joystick controllers are...
