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. So, to drive excavator efficiency Engcon launches its campaign "Do more. Earn more”.
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. Excavators recognize the flexibility and efficiency the tiltrotator brings, improving profitability, enhancing safety and reducing the environment impact.
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.

In addition, global demand for Engcon's products continues to rise steadily.
