A unique crawler carrier – a novelty in the Zeppelin CZ Machine Hire
The Zeppelin CZ Machine Hirehas incorporated into their machine park also the unique carriers Morooka MST 2200 VDR.
In difficult conditions of earthworks, everybody must rely on reliable and durable technology that can measure up even with the most difficult terrain. Drenched soil, snowdrifts, or steep hills can often interrupt the time schedule for works. Unless there is a suitable machine present.
Morooka MST 2200 VDR is exactly such a machine. Let us introduce a durable and high-performance crawler carrier. It is 5.9 metres long and almost three metres wide. But the difference from conventional carriers is that this machine got a crawler undercarriage. Wide rubber belts excellently distribute the weight and enable the machine smooth and stable movement, practically on any surface. The Caterpillar engine with 186 kW power will provide necessary power.
Rotating upper structure for easier work
The cab together with the loading platform are not set directly on the under carriage. Morooka MST 2200 VDR uses slewings similar to those on crawler excavators. This solution is a priceless advantage on unstable and drenched surfaces. Conventional machines have to turn during loading which places demands not only on time and space but also on the terrain which becomes less and less stable with each such manoeuvre and makes the work more and more difficult. The Mooroka crawler carrier can turn the body (the cab with the loading platform) into any direction without the necessity to move the undercarriage.
Comfortable and spacious enclosed cab of Morooka MST 220 VDR is an ideal workplace, in any kind of weather. It is equipped with heating, air conditioning, ample glazing for good view, and simple intuitive control of the machine with pedals and joysticks. For a better view in all directions, there are cameras with output on a well arranged display.
Maximum load of 11 tonnes
All of this makes the Morooka crawler an ideal working tool for work in mud or other soft surfaces. It can work in any kind of weather and in any time of the year. Thanks to its design and loading capacity of 11 tonnes is going to significantly increase and make more effective earthworks, with minimal demands and effects on the terrain and the environment.
The Japanese Morooka company has been a manufacturer of construction and agriculture technology for more than 60 years, with factories in Japan and USA. They specialize on specific crawler machines such as the MST 2200 VDR crawler, a new machine in the flotilla of the Zeppelin CZ Machine Hire.
