The Vertical Digging System (VDS) from Wacker Neuson, Menomonee Falls, Wis., is available on select compact excavators. The VDS is designed to compensate for height differences on uneven terrain and quickly sets the operator in an upright position to increase productivity, the company says. The system enables operators to tilt the cab and boom of the excavator by up to 15 degrees with the push of a button, allowing the operator to compensate for slopes up to 27 percent. The excavator can then be used to dig more precisely in a vertical position, which speeds up excavation and backfilling work, the company says, resulting in time and material savings of up to 25 percent.
