When developing products, Wacker Neuson has always placed great importance on the design language of its construction machines and equipment. Now, the Zero Tail excavator EZ50 has been distinguished with the Red Dot of the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design.
In the utility vehicle area, the 5-metric ton excavator EZ50 by Wacker Neuson received a distinction for product design. The 5-metric ton excavator EZ50 is a powerful machine without rear projection: the rear of the upper structure does not protrude over the tracks. This way, safe working is possible – without the risk of damaging the machine or, for example, house walls when swiveling. Especially in matters of safety, design aspects play an important role: the large windows and an intelligent configuration of the components in the cabin, in connection with a quick-falling enclosure concept, allow an ideal all-round visibility. A red LED light strip in the rear, the Active Working Signal (AWS), provides even more safety on the construction site. It shows that the excavator is ready for operation, sending a signal to all persons in the machine’s surroundings. The compactly constructed cabin has ideally placed stowage compartments that are easy to reach. The exterior trim can be opened wide without tools and guarantees easy maintenance access – which is important for efficiency in daily routine checks. All in all, the machine has a sturdy and at the same time highly dynamic effect. The language of form is linear, modern and timeless. The excavator was given a sophisticated, concentrated and self-confident appearance.
