The sloped-tail platform provides excellent tail clearance when swinging over obstacles, while retaining clear and convenient access to daily service points and machine components. With a fully retracting roof enclosure, both sides of the engine, the valves, and the hydraulic pump area are exposed and easy to reach. The upper assembly is designed to house both the Tigercat FPT N67 and C87 engines for improved commonality. In-tank hydraulic filtration extends service intervals up to 2,000 hours.

Long track frames and an integrated counter weight ensure excellent machine balance and stability. A newly designed ER boom system offers tighter tuck and a larger boom envelope. ER technology, developed exclusively by Tigercat Industries, reduces operator fatigue and conserves energy.

The operator’s cabin is equipped with a comfortable parallel action suspension seat with integrated heating and cooling, and full adjustability. Clear sightlines and ergonomic positioning of controls reduce operator fatigue over long shifts.
