ZERO TAIL swing design
- The EZ26’s zero tail swing design allows the rear of the machine to remain within the track width when slewing, making it ideal for confined spaces, roadside work, and working close to walls or structures.
- With improved manoeuvrability and reduced risk of impact, operators can work safely and efficiently where larger excavators cannot.
Air-Conditioning System
- The air conditioning system ensures a pleasant and constant temperature at the workplace. This can be individually adjusted manually with the fan.
Designed Around Operator Comfort
-
The EZ26 features a spacious ergonomic cab designed to keep operators comfortable and productive throughout the working day.
Key comfort features include:
- Large entry area for easy access
- Excellent 360° visibility
- Adjustable suspension seat
- Ergonomic joystick controls
- Convenient storage compartments
- Clear machine display and intuitive controls
Optimized hydraulics or engine-pump management
- An optimized drive concept of the latest generation enables precise, fast, and efficient work. The electronically controlled hydraulic pump permanently adapts the required hydraulic power to the available power of the diesel engine, taking into account the operating conditions.
Easy transportation by car trailer
- With the car trailer to the next construction site? No problem – the low weight enables transportation including attachment tools using a 3.5 t trailer.
More Features
Auto idling system
- The automatic RPM speed reduces fuel consumption and emissions to a minimum, by automatically throttling down to idling speed if no control elements are actuated for longer than five seconds.
Compact Dimensions
- High safety during transportation, cost and time savings, high flexibility. The excavator scores points with its low entry height, small external dimensions thanks to intelligent component arrangement and ensures greater stability thanks to its low center of gravity.
- Whether for transportation or in confined spaces: Thanks to its compact design, the excavator can be easily transported to the next job site. And on the construction site, the machine can get anywhere quickly and easily, even in confined spaces - for high efficiency in every application.
Large ergonomic comfort cab
- The roomy comfort cabin is engineered to maximise operator comfort and efficiency. Wide-opening access, generous legroom, excellent all-round visibility, and logically positioned controls create a productive working environment. The well-insulated cabin also helps minimise noise and vibration, providing a more comfortable experience during extended operating hours.
Automatic pressure release
- Changing attachments is faster, easier, and safer thanks to the automatic hydraulic pressure release system. At the push of a button, residual hydraulic pressure is released from the auxiliary circuit, allowing quick and effortless connection or removal of hydraulic attachments.
Adjustable driver's seat
- The fully adjustable operator's seat is designed to suit a wide range of operators, providing personalised comfort throughout the working day. With ergonomic controls positioned within easy reach, operators can maintain a comfortable working position, helping to reduce fatigue and improve productivity on longer jobs.
Hydraulic joystick operation
- Responsive hydraulic joystick controls provide smooth, accurate machine operation with minimal operator effort. The intuitive layout enhances precision during digging, lifting, and attachment operation, improving efficiency and overall control on the jobsite.
Practical storage, including cell phone holder
- Integrated storage compartments provide convenient space for tools, personal items, and everyday essentials. Keeping frequently used items organised and within easy reach helps maintain a tidy, efficient workspace throughout the working day.
6 Heavy duty tie-down points
- Six strategically positioned tie-down points make transporting the machine safe, secure, and straightforward. Their convenient placement allows for fast load restraint, helping reduce transport preparation time while ensuring compliance with transport requirements.
Innovative two-piece front windshield system
The innovative two-piece front windscreen provides outstanding flexibility in changing working conditions. The upper section slides neatly into the cabin roof, while the lower section can be easily removed and stored, allowing operators to enjoy improved ventilation and an unobstructed view when required. This versatile design enhances comfort, visibility, and productivity throughout the working day.
Load sensing flow sharing
- The advanced load sensing hydraulic system automatically delivers power where it is needed most. Flow sharing technology allows multiple hydraulic functions to operate smoothly at the same time, providing precise control, faster cycle times, and improved productivity.
Thermal resistance
- The EZ26 is designed for long working days and challenging environments up to an ambient temperature of 45 °C/113°F. Featuring a robust cooling system that provides excellent thermal resistance. This helps maintain consistent performance, protect key components, and maximise machine reliability even during intensive operation.
Up to 6 additional control circuits ex work
- The EZ26 can be equipped with up to six additional control circuits straight from the factory, providing exceptional attachment flexibility. Whether operating hydraulic grabs, tilt buckets, augers, breakers, or other specialist attachments, the EZ26 is ready to adapt to a wide range of applications.
Jog dial
- The ergonomic jog dial provides quick and easy access to machine settings and functions, allowing operators to adjust parameters smoothly without interrupting their workflow. Designed for intuitive operation, it enhances control, improves efficiency, and delivers a more comfortable operator experience.
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
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.
2 Lifting eyes on the roof
- The machine can be moved very easily and without any problems on the construction site using a crane. Loading and unloading the excavator from the truck can also be done quickly.
Advanced overload warning & hose burst protection
- Designed with operator safety in mind, the machine features integrated hose rupture valves on the lifting arm and dipper stick cylinders. In the unlikely event of a hydraulic hose failure, the cylinders are securely held in their last position to help prevent sudden movement or uncontrolled lowering.
- An advanced overload warning system provides the operator with an alert when lifting limits are approached, allowing quick action to maintain stability, improve safety, and reduce the risk of tipping.
Easy service and maintenance access
- Easy service, thanks to wide-opening engine hood, allows easy access to all parts.
- No disassembly of heavy parts necessary, additional easily replaceable wear parts.
- Quick and unrestricted access. Hydraulic and engine oil filters, air filter, water separator and also the tank filler neck are ideally accessible. Low service costs.
Dirt-repellent chassis
- Less dirt collects in the sloping chassis box, and its special design also makes it easier to clean.
