Wacker Neuson ET42

Flexible cylinder rod protection

• The cylinders and the cylinder rods are protected from damage thanks to the plastic rails, which lengthens their service life and saves costs. Due to their flexible material, they return to their original shape after an impact. Their appearance and characteristics are completely retained.

Load Sensing Flow Sharing

• Load Sensing Flow Sharing enables precise and efficient control of the excavator. The machine adjusts to the load and the joystick movements are always kept the same for the operator.
• The hydraulics work more efficiently, saving energy and ultimately costs. But it also makes operation easier for the operator.
• Load-sensing systems help to regulate the flow rate according to demand. The less power is used, the lower the fuel consumption.

3-point kinematics

• With 3-point kinematics, the conventional bucket linkage has been taken to a new level. This "3-bolt" design extends the bucket's angle of rotation to 200 degrees - 10% more than conventional bucket linkage. This increases the vertical dig depth as well as the digging forces. This eliminates the need to reposition the excavator as often, significantly increasing efficiency.

Active Working Signal (AWS)

• The red LED strip running diagonally over the engine hood lights up when the joystick control is pressed down. This signals to bystanders nearby that the excavator is ready for operation and can be moved at any time.

LED work lights

• The durable LED headlights enable safe working through the all-round lighting in the dark. Optimal illumination of the work area ensures a higher level of machine utilization, even in dark visibility conditions. The headlights on the chassis ensure that the work area is well illuminated, even when the machine is panning.
• The best illumination and long service life as a result of the LED technology.

EFFICIENCY

Jog dial

• The jog dial system, familiar from the automotive area, including a clear display, allows intuitive selection of the right operating settings via a press-push button as well as various settings via a keypad. ECO mode is the standard mode for efficient and fuel-saving work; HI mode stands for maximum pump performance and fast, powerful work and LOW mode for extremely precise, sensitive work.

New positioning of the exhaust system

• Hot exhaust gases are directed upwards, avoiding possible damage to people or objects. This is a particular advantage in gardening and landscaping (e.g. trench and canal construction). In addition, the stirring up of dust on the ground is considerably reduced.

Guided track rollers outside

• In particular for lifting heavy loads, the externally located guide track rollers as well as an optimized weight distribution give the excavators a higher lateral stability.

Hydraulic swivelling dozer blade

• The swivel blade can be swiveled straight or variably by up to 25 degrees to the left or right. This way, the machine does not have to be reset in one direction as often during longer-lasting backfilling tasks. In the floating position, the dozer blade automatically follows the contour of the ground, so that the driver doesn’t have to make adjustments.
• Infinitely variable swivelling with floating position for more flexibility and efficiency.

High cab comfort with excellent ergonomics and air-conditioning system

• The intuitive operating concept allows for the simple and comprehensive control of the excavator. The joystick, 3.5-inch display, jog dial, and keypad are used to operate the machine, store attachments, control auxiliary circuits or set oil quantities. The well-placed discharge nozzles create a pleasant cab temperature and enable fatigue-free working. The air conditioning system enables a cool down of up to 16 ° C/61° F (at an outside temperature of 38°C/100° F) and this in half the specified ISO standard time.

Stage V emission standards

• To implement this European emissions directive, we install state-of-the-art engine technologies equipped with exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. DPF regeneration takes place automatically when required and during normal working operation. Therefore, no standstill regeneration is necessary and the working cycle is not interrupted. The more stable coolant temperature increases the lifetime of the diesel engine and, thanks to thermal management, also the efficiency of the cab heater.
• New technology to increase efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions - reducing harmful diesel particulate, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide emissions. The filter does not require additives, nor a burner or additional power sources, and the operator is not required to intervene manually.

VARIETY

Hydraulic thumb

• The optional hydraulic thumb offers, beside a conventional bucket application, a grip function, which expands the spectrum of applications.
• With this additional grip function, material can be cleared away quite easily.

COMFORT

USB port

• Combined with a radio, the option of convenient cellphone charging is available.

10 large tie-downs

• 6 large lashing eyes on the chassis frame and 4 more on the superstructure ensure easy and fast tie and secure transport of the machine.
• Die Ösen sind perfekt platziert für eine sichere Befestigung der Maschine und sie sind auch für große Haken gut geeignet.

Innovative front windshield system

• The windshields can be adjusted to any condition on the construction site. Closed, they are water- and windproof. The upper front window can be pushed under the cabin roof. The lower pane serves as splash protection. The lower windshield slides behind the upper window, making it ideal for talking with colleagues. If necessary, both windows are pushed below the cabin roof, where they are stored safely.
• The two-part front window allows for optimal ventilation in the cabin in any weather. In addition, it makes it easier to communicate with the operator. A separate removal and storage of the window is a thing of the past.
• Significantly lower risk of damage or loss; higher level of operating comfort

Windshield wiper motor integrated in A-pillar

• The wiping direction from top to bottom provides better cleaning, while the new positioning of the motor in the A-pillar and its cabling prevent any restriction of visibility.

Safe entry and exit

• Through the repositioning of the control level bracket and the armrest, it has generated space and minimized the risk of unintentional operation of a machine function.

QUALITY

Hose guidance by swiveling bracket

• Optimum hose routing through the swiveling bracket provides the best possible protection for the hoses against external influences, which extends their service life. The field of vision is not restricted and abrasion of the hoses is significantly reduced.

SAFETY

Very good all-round visibility

• The design of the machine has been specially adapted to the needs of the operator in terms of optimum visibility. For example, the right front track is very visible in the normal sitting position, which significantly increases safety for the operator and the surrounding area.
• Everything in view - ideal view of the attachment and of the right front track as well as the side and partial rear section of the machine
