The 245XR crawler excavator, launched by ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ last year, competes in the 22-26 tonne reduced swing market.
At just 1,720mm, the 245XR has a tail swing that is 40% shorter than the conventional 220X, with which it shares many features.
Dealer Greenshields ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has supplied four units to Wooldridge Group, each equipped with a Leica 3D guidance system and Engcon tiltrotator.
Nobby Grimes, Wooldridge’s senior operations director, said: “ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has always been on our radar so when we were looking to invest in some zero tailswing machines we thought we’d try the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ 245XR. Our operators had always wanted ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½s and we were really impressed with them.
“We work on mainly residential sites so the zero tailswing feature is really useful in tight spaces. The machines are easy to manoeuvre, the fuel economy is fantastic and it saves wear on the tracks.�
