Specifying your special application excavator
Special Application Excavators for Mozambique are typically specified in the Varies range. The configuration options that matter most are: undercarriage track-shoe width and pattern (standard, wide, swamp, or rock-pattern), bucket capacity and pattern (general-purpose, heavy-duty, rock), boom configuration (standard reach, long reach, super-long reach), and hydraulic-circuit options for attachment lines. Cab options include standard, ROPS/FOPS-rated, and HAZOP-rated depending on the operating environment. Each special application excavator we ship to Mozambique is configured pre-export based on the buyer's specified application — which means the machine arrives ready to work rather than needing weeks of configuration changes on-site. We also fit high-altitude air filtration and reinforced cooling for African high-ambient operations as standard.

Buying an excavator from us is only the start.

Our technicians are trained on all twelve brands we supply, with manufacturer-certified service authority for several.
