Abstract
A hydraulic excavator in the 40000 lbs. to 46000 lbs. class that is self-transportable at highway speeds has been developed.
The excavator consists of a modified 44000 lbs. hydraulic excavator upper-structure and attachment mounted on a custom 6×4 or 6×6 undercarriage.
This results in an excavator having the performance of a 1 cubic yard hydraulic excavator and the transportability of an over the road truck.
