The compact package with a minimal tail swing design can easily work in confined areas while also featuring a spacious, comfortable cab, similar to those found in four to six-ton models.
The EZ26 is an excellent mini excavator for utility applications such as fiber optic, plumbing and drainage, as well as general landscaping and rental. The EZ26 is powered by a 18.2-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine with a maximum digging depth of 9 feet, 10 inches and bucket breakout force of 5,080 pounds. This new EZ26 keeps the weight low and dimensions compact enough for easy transport behind most half-ton trucks while still increasing lifting and stability over its predecessor.
A new feature added to the EZ26 is a load-sensing hydraulic that provides consistent and precise control regardless of the load. The machine adjusts to the load and the joystick movements are always kept the same for the operator, resulting in a smooth operating experience.
The new cabin design features a large entry door, ergonomic layout of controls and excellent visibility around the machine. All new for this EZ26 is the addition of air conditioning to the cab. The innovative two-part front windshield enhances working comfort with greater ventilation and makes communication between operators and others on the job site easier. The upper front window can be raised over the operator’s head, where it is stored safely, leaving the lower pane in place for splash protection. The lower pane can also be raised to completely open the front of the cab. The EZ26 is also available in a canopy edition.
