With its 17 tons and a raw power engine of 255 horsepower, the Euromach R145 can call itself the world's largest spider excavator. Able to perform all conceivable functions from one and the same position whilst climbing steep terrain. And to help improve efficiency, it has now been equipped with an Engcon tiltrotator.
The world’s leading tiltrotator manufacturer Engcon announces that there will be additional smart features on the tiltrotators' quick hitch. The quick hitch had previously been adapted for installation of the detachable GRD grab cassette and SWD rotating sweeper.
Engcon has invested significantly in a brand-new office building, covering an area of over 400 square meters, spread over two floors. The new building connects with the existing production facilities located at the Swedish headquarters in Strömsund. The investment is part of a long-term strategy to create the right conditions for continued expansion.
Engcon has always taken good care of its employees and its local presence in the areas where the company runs businesses around the world. Now that Corona is challenging everyday life for people and businesses alike, Engcon has chosen to provide local support when its 300 or so employees get their Christmas gifts.
Since its inception 30 years ago, Engcon has been actively involved in driving safety development in the excavation industry. This year is no exception: from 1st October 2020, Engcon will offer the Quick hitch Standard Control (QSC) its safe locking system as standard on all tiltrotators with Engcon's control system.
Despite challenging market conditions, interest in Engcon's products in North America continues to grow. Inquiries increased after a very successful participation at Conexpo, this year's largest trade show held in Las Vegas. The pace of growth means that Engcon North America (Engcon NA) has had to move to new, larger premises to meet the demands of the business with a larger warehouse facility.
The effects of Covid-19 are not over yet, but this summer's sales figures have provided Engcon with a positive outlook. The unexpected increase in sales during the months of June and July mean that Engcon is now overseeing extra efforts to produce and fulfil the delivery of additional orders.
When discussing the benefits of making product improvements and efficiencies the environmental impact is increasingly in focus. Excavators that perform more work with less driving time reduce the environmental impact. In addition, excavators that optimise performance, increase their profitability by undertaking more assignments while reducing the environmental impact of excavation work.
Although the tiltrotator phenomenon has been around for over 30 years, more than 97 percent of the world's excavators still don’t have one. This is despite the fact that it streamlines digging and turns the excavator into an all-round multi-tool. The concept is well established in the Nordics and through Engcon the tiltrotator has gradually extended its reach globally.
All of 2020’s major global machine fairs have either been canceled or postponed – with this in mind, Engcon chose to produce their own live digital broadcast called Engcon 360, covering key products. The production was recorded at Engon’s own “exhibition center” located at the headquarters in Strömsund, Sweden. The live broadcasts were adapted by Engcon staff for their customers in each home marke
Engcon Group achieved net sales of just over SEK 1.3 billion in 2019, an increase of 13 percent on the previous year. As well as seeing 10 years of continuous sales growth, 2019 stands out because of pricing levels, establishing new markets and the roll-out of strategic plans for Engcon’s future. In addition, global demand for Engcon's products continues to rise steadily.
To strengthen its position Engcon are now establishing a sales office in Australia, to support the increase in demand locally for tiltrotators and quick couplers "down under". The new Engcon facility is located in western Sydney and includes technical sales support staff, an administration office, a warehouse, spare parts and servicing. There will also be a demo area where customers can be trained
