Total Versatility
Compact design
The PW148-8 is perfect for con-
fined work sites, with a compact
design and a tail swing radius of
only 1.850 mm. In urbanised areas,
but also on road or sewer construc-
tion sites where space is limited,
the PW148-8 is a high output per-
former and offers more safety and
less worries for the operator.

Additional hydraulic circuit

To allow the use of many attach-
ments, such as buckets, breakers
or clamshell buckets, an additional
hydraulic circuit controlled by a
sliding joystick button, is stand-
ard on the PW148-8. To further
increase versatility and flexibility, a
second optional auxiliary line and
an optional hydraulic quick-coupler
actuation are also available.

A wide choice of options

With a choice of different styles
of boom, arm and undercarriage
attachments, you can configure
the PW148-8 to match specific
demands for transport, working
envelope or duty. The excava-
tor can for instance be equipped
with a parallel-moving dozer blade
that stabilizes the machine with-
out damaging street surfaces.
Extra hydraulic arrangements are
available for every boom and arm
configuration, to make sure that
the PW148-8 always contributes
strongly to your business.
