Slim Machine Design Serves to Stabilize Excavator
Mustang Manufacturing introduces the model 2803ZT zero-tail-swing compact excavator that offers stability, a large operator's station and easy access to maintenance points. The excavator also features 4,923 pounds of arm breakout force.
The zero-tail-swing design reduces rear overhang. “This feature means the rear of the unit does not project outside of the width of the tracks, meaning operators with less experience do not have to worry about the rear of the machine damaging anything while on the jobsite,” says Brian Rabe, product specialist for Mustang Manufacturing.
The company has enhanced stability with a longer undercarriage. The slim machine offers a sturdy track width and optional counterweight, which creates an even more stable machine. The 2803ZT also features a skid-mounted engine and rear-mounted hydraulic and fuel tanks, giving mechanics easy access to all maintenance points.
The unit's four-pump high-volume hydraulic system pumps out a total system flow of 23.8 gpm. “This feature provides for a wide range of attachments and the hydraulic performance to use the attachment seamlessly while performing other functions,” says Rabe.
