Integrated E-Stop
Blind spot collisions during rear-swing maneuvers remain a serious hazard on busy jobsites. When an excavator operates along a trench edge — digging on one side and swinging around to dump on the other — the moving counterweight poses an invisible risk to workers behind. E-Stop does not just display a warning; it actively steps in to prevent collisions.
3 Levels of Automated Protection
330° Radar Active Zone
Powered by Smart AVM, upgraded radars, and the Human Detection System (HDS), E-Stop constantly scans a wide 330-degree radius around the machine during travel and swing routines.
6-Meter Proximity Slowdown
The moment a person enters the 6-meter zone, the cab triggers visual and audible alerts while automatically reducing machine movement speed.
4-Meter Automatic Stop
If a worker enters within 4 meters, E-Stop immediately brings all machine movement to a complete halt — preventing the rear tail-swing or chassis from striking personnel.
Smart AVM & HDS
Eliminate blind spot guesswork. Smart AVM and the Human Detection System (HDS) track workers across the jobsite in real time. Six high-definition cameras combined with deep-learning AI recognize nearby personnel and pinpoint their exact position on your display — removing dangerous blind spots instantly.
Advanced Lift Assist
Lifting heavy loads on slopes or uneven ground can quickly push a machine past its tipping point. Advanced Lift Assist uses an integrated lifting force table to compare current load weights against incline limits in real time. By displaying dynamic risk zones directly on the gauge panel, it gives operators clear boundaries — ensuring consistent, safe operations across fleet rotations.
Virtual Wall
Working in tight urban spaces, beneath live overhead wires, or near underground utilities requires extreme care. The virtual wall feature allows operators to lock the excavator's range directly on screen. Set maximum height, depth, reach, or swing angles — the machine physically restricts movement past set parameters, preventing accidental utility hits or structural damage.
Additional Safety & Structural Protection
- Certified Cab Protection (ROPS / FOPS Level 2):
Structurally reinforced cab structures built to protect operators from roll-overs or falling debris. - Tool-Less FOGS Guard:
Optional front guard for added overhead protection that opens to 95° without tools for effortless window cleaning. - Enhanced Counterweight Balance:
Added counterweight balance boosts lifting stability and minimises tipping risk. - Safe Access Infrastructure:
Large guardrails, anti-slip steps, and grip plates ensure safe entry, exit, and daily walkaround maintenance.
