Engcon announces additional smart features on the tiltrotators' quick hitch. Previously it had been adapted for installation of the detachable GRD grab cassette and SWD rotating sweeper. Now nearly all the hoses in the quick hitch under the tiltrotator is replaced with a simple modular system. The hose-free design reduces wear and maintenance needs, and adding more hydraulic functions.
Engcon has invested significantly in a brand-new office building, covering an area of over 400 square metres, spread over two floors. The new building connects with the existing production facilities located at the Swedish head office 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.
Engcon UK and Hitachi Construction Machinery UK (HCMUK) has announced a new partnership to supply and fit their range of tiltrotators at HCMUK’s state-of-the-art preparation centre in the North East.
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. In short, the current system for controlling the bucket lock under the tiltrotator is being replaced by Engcon's standardised locking panel.
Despite challenging market conditions, interest in Engcon's products in North America continues to grow. Enquiries 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 N A has had to move to new, larger premises better adapted to meet the demands of the business with a larger warehouse.
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 optimize 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 lack one. This is despite the fact that it streamlines digging and turns the excavator into a veritable multi-tool. The concept is well established in the Nordics and through Engcon the tiltrotator has gradually extended its reach globally.
EC-Oil, Engcon's automatic quick mounting system, when combined with a tiltrotator and hydraulic tools makes a huge difference to an excavator's productivity. Increasing profitability, efficiency and safety for the excavator industry. The benefits are so strong that Engcon has decided to make EC-Oil accessible to as many operators as possible, by offering it without additional costs.
The prevailing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has meant machine fairs this year have been either cancelled or postponed worldwide. Fairs traditionally have provided an easy way to demonstrate technically advanced products. So instead of fairs, Engcon has decided to arrange its own live, digital event. Providing a showcase to live stream this year's top news and key product updates for excavators.
In 2012, Engcon launched its proportional control system, DC2 (Digging Control) for tiltrotators, with an associated app for remote support via the mobile phone network. Combining safety with the latest technology means that a service technician can connect to the excavator and provide remote support, saving time and money
