WN’s steer in right direction

It might be logical to think that bigger construction machines will be harder to steer – but then there’s the Wacker Neuson DT25 crawler-mounted dumper.

Wacker Neuson presents new ‘steering logic’ DT25 crawler-mounted dumper at INTERMAT 2012
It might be logical to think that bigger construction machines will be harder to steer – but then there’s the 1651 Wacker Neuson DT25 crawler-mounted dumper.  
The largest in the five-strong DT series of crawler-mounted dumpers, the DT25 comes with in-built ‘steering logic’. On sensitive surfaces or restricted spaces, the driver doesn’t need to turn, merely having to rotate the seat through 180°, and is always driving in the direction in which they’re moving the joystick.

The DT25 has a loading capacity of up to 2.5tonnes and is equipped with fully hydrostatic traction drive. This, with either a powerful diesel or gasoline engine, is said by Wacker Neuson to guarantee excellent manoeuvrability even on difficult terrain.

  • One-touch chassis levelling and stabilisation for ROTO models
    January 6, 2017
    Italian manufacturer Merlo has developed an automatic chassis levelling and stabilisation system for its ROTO range of rotating telescopic handlers. Rather than using individual controls for each stabiliser leg, the operator pushes a button to both level the chassis and stabilise the machine for heavy lifting. This greatly reduces set-up time and increases safety.
