The 8018 Contractor specification excavator has features designed for urban applications, including the use of graphite-impregnated bushings in all excavator arm and undercarriage bushings for extended, 500-hour greasing intervals.

LED work lights on the front and boom have additional protective guards, and proportional auxiliaries have been updated for electrical operation. A separate hand­held tool circuit and standard auxiliary hoses on the boom provide hydraulic power to drive a range of tools.

Standard rubber street pads on the dozer blade prevent damage to roadways while working, and they can be removed without the use of tools and stored in the cab’s toolbox.

Bolt­on rubber counterweight protection protects the machine from accidental damage.
