Description

Counterweights for Excavators – Maximum Performance, Maximum Flexibility

Hydraulically detachable counterweights are essential for achieving the required transport weight. At the push of a button, the counterweight can be safely and conveniently removed, allowing it to be transported separately. This reduces setup time, simplifies logistics, and ensures cost-efficient and regulation-compliant transport operations.

Additional counterweights can be implemented either as permanently welded intermediate plates or as bolted-on plates. This flexible design has a positive impact on load capacity and makes the machine even more versatile in operation. Depending on the application – whether earthmoving, demolition, or specialized projects – the weight can be optimally adapted to maximize stability, safety, and overall performance.

We also manufacture custom counterweights tailored precisely to customer requirements. Each solution is individually engineered to match specific site conditions and technical demands, ensuring a perfect fit for your machine and your project.

The current product range comprises five crawler tunnel excavators with an operating weight of seven thru 47 tons as well as one wheeled tunnel excavator with an operating weight of 20 tons. All tunnel excavator models are based on trusted and reliable Volvo basic machines and are equipped with diesel drive as standard; optionally, they are also available with an emission-free electric drive. The compact excavators have a short tail-swing and operate with high efficiency; therefore, they are ideally suited for small to large tunnel cross-sections. Due to the modular built of the boom equipment, they can be adapted to different tunnel heights, giving them maximum flexibility. The high hydraulic output of the Volvo machines allows operation of efficient attachment tools, like hydraulic hammers, rock cutters, demolition shears, to name only a few, These can be changed quickly with quick-change devices.
