Rubber Tired Excavators

Improve Your Bottom Line

Highest travel speed and gradeability of any wheeled excavator. Quick 29-mph travel speed gets you to the job faster. Eliminates the need and expense to lowboy it from one worksite to another. Less travel time to the job, more productivity on the job and more profit to your bottom line. The 95% gradeability gives you 50% more off-road tractive effort that other wheeled excavators can't match. Four 17.5-25 tires, 16" high ground clearance, longer wheelbase and full-time 4-wheel drive with torque proportioning differentials, enable you to get unmatched rough terrain performance. For more traction, an optional driver-controlled locking differential is available on the rear axle. Do more jobs faster with confidence.

The Power to Perform

The 6-cylinder, 359 cubic inch displacement Cummins turbo-charged diesel engine provides the right power to weight ratio for long life and exceptional reliability. Three power mode settings along with automatic engine deceleration, provides optimum engine efficiency. Powerful 133 net horsepower (99kw) and 440 lb./ft maximum torque (597Nm) gives the power needed to deliver the performance you want, when you need it. Matched with a 6-speed Clark electric powershift transmission and converter, the Cruz-Air has the power and speed ranges to smoothly perform all kinds of excavator and lifting tasks with ease and keeps your operating costs down.

Stability And Flexibility

You can get both with Cruz-Air outriggers. Equipped with front (optional) and rear (standard) outriggers, each is individually controlled from the cab with a quick five-second lowering and raising time. The Cruz-Air also includes a front axle oscillation lock for increased stability on rubber.

Incredible Versatility

This is no single-purpose machine. The exclusive Extendastick hydraulic telescoping stick, adds 5' for deeper digging and also allows you to work closer to the machine with the Extendastick retracted. The Wrist-O-Twistâ gives the operator the ability to sculpt 45° in each direction from the center for increased digging and grading versatility. The exclusive quick-latch attachment, that is standard on the Wrist-0-Twistâ, makes quick work of installing or removing attachments. No pins to remove, no tools required and the attachments can be changed in a matter of minutes; another great time saver exclusive to the Cruz-Air. Optional auxiliary hydraulics enable you to quickly install grapples, mowers, brush cutters and augers. This versatility is available only on the Cruz-Air. It will save you time and money. You get more from the Cruz-Air because of all the attachments, buckets, and stick options that are available to extend the working range of this versatile excavator.

Exceptional Operator Comfort

The big, deluxe operator's cab gives a "platinum" level of comfort for all-day operation. Spacious and ergonomically designed, the easy-access cab features a plush, fully adjustable suspension seat with armrests. Totally integrated joysticks, with low operating forces and short stroke, control boom, bucket, dipper, and swing functions. A tilt, telescoping steering column has automotive style controls for increased operator convenience. New cluster instruments and gauges continually monitor machine status. Panoramic windows give excellent visibility while loading and working in tight conditions. The new sound suppression provides a quiet environment that promotes more productivity. The optional hydraulic heater and air conditioner maintains a comfortable climate control at the flip of a switch. Floor and wall carpeting create a pleasing work platform.

Special Features

Advanced Hydraulics

Dual flow hydraulics with one variable and two fixed displacement pumps provide high efficiency, fuel economy and excellent digging performance.

Stopping Power

Fast, dependable, hydraulic-powered disc brakes on each wheel gives the Cruz-Air the power to stop when needed. The working brake automatically releases when creep function is activated by the push of a button and is applied by a full brake pedal application. Park safely with the spring-applied, hydraulically released parking brake located on the rear axle input.

More Bucket And Stick Digging Power

The Cruz-Air has outstanding performance for this class of wheeled excavator. Maximum bucket breakout force is rated at 23,298 lbf. The stick breakout force is rated at 15,596 lbf. and can get over 30' surface reach and nearly 19' digging depth with a 22' loading height. It’s easy to work under and around obstacles with Extendastick and Wrist-O-Twistâ, without blocking more than one lane of traffic.

Fast, Easy Serviceability

All daily maintenance points are accessible from ground level. Large doors on each side of the engine provide easy access to engine components and filters for fast inspection and replacement. Outboard planetaries also simplify servicing.

Positive Controlled Swing Mechanism

A high torque gear motor powers the swing mechanism with 24,884 lbft. torque, providing 360° continuous swing with an automatic swing brake for positive drift control.
