Wacker Neuson’s prototype DW50 dumper swings both ways

At the flick of a switch, drivers of the DW50 Dual View dumper can spin 180 degrees and get a perfect view of the dumping action. Wacker Neuson is still working on development of the DW50 but a prototype is in action at this year’s bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany. Although there is no date for eventually getting the dumper to market, visitors have been trying out the moveable seat and console unit.

A dumper with a difference: Wacker Neuson’s DW50

At the flick of a switch, drivers of the DW50 Dual View dumper can spin 180 degrees and get a perfect view of the dumping action.

1651 Wacker Neuson is still working on development of the DW50 but a prototype is in action at this year’s bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany.

Although there is no date for eventually getting the dumper to market, visitors have been trying out the moveable seat and console unit.

The driver releases a lock and turns the entire unit to face the rear of the machine and get a perfect view of the working area. There is also an optional rear-view camera to get the best view in the skip direction. The steering column has tilt adjustment to allow for better access to the cabin.

Further highlights include a hydrostatic drive system. The machine also stops as soon as the driver removes their foot from the accelerator.

  • Hatz Diesel goes quieter with its 1D81 Hydro concept
    January 6, 2017
    Hatz’s Diesel’s 1D81 Hydro concept has been developed to offer a low noise level solution for applications using single-cylinder diesel engines. Still at prototype stage, the 667cc and 772cc capacity single-cylinder engine is a new variant of an existing Hatz engine design. As such, it uses common components from the Hatz range, but it differs with an all-new cylinder block and cylinder head design that includes a water jacket, allowing liquid cooling to be introduced.
