The Menzi Muck M4x walking excavator is designed for use in difficult terrain. With four independent arms and wheels, a high-tech chassis and an innovative boom, it adapts to steep areas. The hydraulic excavator has a 360-degree radius. The adjustable wheel and outrigger carriers optimise the tipping edge for maximum lifting and ripping force. The design is focused on optimal visibility and protection of the operator as well as the internal mechanics, while the ergonomic cabin has a touch screen and optimised controls.
