Safety, ergonomics <strong>and</strong> high productivity have been in focus when designing the Boomer<br />
XL3 D <strong>for</strong> users who prefer a traditional direct control system. The Boomer XL3 D has a<br />
modern, attractive design, <strong>and</strong> it also offers several innovations. The <strong>new</strong> <strong>rig</strong> will be on<br />
display at Bauma China at the end of November.<br />
Great emphasis has been placed on the interaction<br />
between operator <strong>and</strong> machine. The work space is now<br />
less noisy thanks to the improved control system that<br />
has a reduced amount of high pressure hoses near the<br />
operator.<br />
The control system’s hydraulics also provides improved<br />
precision <strong>and</strong> simplicity <strong>and</strong> together with the <strong>new</strong><br />
ergonomic control panels this is advantageous <strong>for</strong> both<br />
safety <strong>and</strong> productivity. The easily accessed service points<br />
are also an important aspect of the ergonomic design.<br />
The <strong>rig</strong> has a FOPS-approved canopy, which can also<br />
be fitted with a vertical lift of 1 100 mm, to ensure excellent<br />
visibility over the working area. The optional cabin offers a<br />
high degree of operator com<strong>for</strong>t with a noise level inside<br />
