Volvo PL4809E Works as Two Machines

摘要

According to Volvo Construction Equipment, the new excava-tor-based PL4809E rotating pipe layer has safety-enhancing features, uses an advanced load-management system, and is easier to transport, compared with conventional pipe layers that might require removal of boom and counterweight. The company's claim is that the PL4809E, using a Volvo D13J Tier 4-Final engine, "de-livers lifting capacity that outperforms the largest traditional side booms in its size class." When not working as a pipe layer, the PL4809E can be converted to a conventional excavator for conventional tasks.
