PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE
The Tier II compliant, 1.1 litre capacity engine provides an increase in capacity of 18% over previous models. Rated at 17hp (12.7kW), it boasts 11% greater fuel efficiency, lower emissions and a 30% greater capacity diesel tank. The use of a tubular boom challenges the conventional design of mini excavators. Its light yet rigid construction provides outstanding strength and durability.
Unique in the 1.5 tonne mini excavator range is the incorporation of a two-piece cast slew frame. This has allowed the longitudinal positioning of the engine, placing the fuel and hydraulic tanks at the rear of the machine. This increases stability whilst digging and reduces weight by removing the need for excessive counter-weighting.
The 801 range uses improved servo controls complimented with an advanced 'micro section' valve block to produce smoothness, accuracy and multi-functionality, without reducing power or speed.
RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY
The hydraulics comprise fewer hoses and 20% fewer joints for reduced potential leak paths and improved reliability. The large capacity diesel tank allows for a day's uninterrupted operation.
SAFETY
TOPS (Tip Over Protection Structure) and ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) Certified Cab / Canopy, with the added option of FOGS (Fall Over Guard Structure) Guard.
Control Isolator pod fitted as standard. Now made from an aluminium casting, this makes it much stronger and durable. In addition is now isolates not only the servo controls but the track levers for increased safety.
The shape and narrow width of the tubular boom allows increased visibility.
OPERATOR ENVIRONMENT
The cab unit is isolated from the slew frame via 4 isolation mounts. The cab base including floor and seat base consists of a one-piece plastic moulding. These 2 factors mean a drastic reduction in the levels of noise and vibration within the cab. The in-cab noise level is just 76dB(A).
The spacious cab design is both spacious and comfortable and provides class leading all round visibility.
The 'up and over' front window is now gas assisted, further extending the 801 range's theme of quality and ease of operation.
SERVICEABILITY
Items requiring routine checks are grouped in close proximity in a remote service panel for easy access to top-up engine oil, coolant, diesel and hydraulics.
The tilting radiator enables easier cleaning of the cooling pack and access to the fan belt.
Major maintenance is eased by the inclusion of a new tilting cab design. The cab unit tilts from the rear, revealing the slew motor, valve block, hydraulic hoses, engine and hydraulic pump.
The engine has increased service intervals of 500 hours, twice as long as previous models.
