It has the usual high lifting and digging forces, as well as fast work cycles. Thanks to modern technologies, emissions are reduced while efficiency is increased. The ET42's powerful engine meets Stage V emissions standards. The intuitive operating concept means this powerhouse is both user-friendly and comfortable for the operator, while offering an excellent view of the working area.

FEATURES
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 38C/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.

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 SWIVELING 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 doesnt have to make adjustments.
Infinitely variable swiveling with floating position for more flexibility and efficiency.

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.
The eyelets are perfectly placed for secure attachment of the machine and they are also suitable for large hooks.

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.
