Wacker Neuson kicked off ConExpo by launching a new mini excavator: the 4-metric-ton ET40. The compact excavator gets a redesigned cab featuring a 7-inch touchscreen display with customizable settings, keyless start and ergonomic layout to reduce fatigue. Coming in with an operating weight of 8,907 pounds, the ET40 delivers 39.6 net horsepower with its Yanmar 3TNV86CT diesel engine. Operators will be working with 7,980 pounds in breakout force and a maximum digging depth with the long stick of 11.2 feet. The ET40 and other excavators in Wacker Neuson’s next-generation lineup feature a four-position door, which allows operators to not only slide open the top and bottom of the windshield but slide the entire piece up to the ceiling of the cab for a completely open view. The ET40 can be configured with options such as coupler packages, auxiliary hydraulics and hydraulic thumb packages. A dozer blade with float function comes standard. The ET40, which is made at Wacker Neuson’s plant in Menominee Falls, Wisconsin, is set to launch this year.
