The A 918 Compact Litronic wheeled excavator is a newly developed type of machine combining the performance characteristics of a standard excavator with the reduced dimensions of a short-tail excavator. Despite the compact construction type of the vehicle, the operator’s work area provides a considerable amount of freedom of movement, for its layout conforms to standard cabin size for machines in larger categories. As the high-quality components are positioned in an intelligent way, the machine allows for excellent maintenance and servicing. Its sober, geometric formal language and deliberately restrained design convey the impression of a long-lasting, high-quality product.
