Low-effort joysticks in R2-Series excavators respond easily to operator input, helping operators work longer with less fatigue.

Dual Flange Roller System

Dual Flange Roller System

Dual flange track rollers extend the undercarriage structure closer to the track’s edge so you can dig with greater confidence over the side of the machine.
