The service accessibility has also been
greatly improved.
The result: Larger bucket capacity, high-

less wear and tear.
Maintenance effort has been decreased
to achieve long term availability of more

The RH 120-E is assigned for highest

Including electronic-hydraulic servo control.

Ample space, easy control

The cabin of the RH 120-E has been
increased in width by another 300 mm
compared to it’s predecessor. It pro-
vides maximum space and comfort. The
operator has an excellent view over the
entire working area thanks to an eye
level of 6.1 m. The comfortable and
pneumatically cushioned seat is indi-
vidually adjustable to all functional and
ergonomic requirements.
The joystick control according SAE stand-
ard allows fast, safe and exact loading.
These conditions encourage the readi-
ness for a high level performance which
can be achieved over long periods with-
out stress and fatigue.

Fast service and high availability

via BCS
All operation and service data are
monitored and checked by the Board-
Control-System and can be displayed
on the screen. Therefore all important
information is clearly visible, any irre-
gularities are immediately detected and
the operator is alerted visually and aud-
ibly.

Unique fine control by electronic

hydraulic servo control
All servo functions are computer-con-
trolled for precise working if required.
Moreover the amount of hydraulic
hoses is reduced and trouble shooting is
eased.

keep the hydraulic oil at an ideal tem-

stances. Lower thermal load on the oil

Encapsulated, powerful two-stage travel motors are
the key for mobility. The travel gearboxes are

in highly stressed areas and the fully
hydraulic self-adjusting track tensioning
system have positive effects on life
expectancy. Track pad and link are
combined in one unit, face pressure on

reduced.
Each crawler is driven by two powerful
hydraulic motors and can be controlled

best adjustment to changing application
conditions. The new layout of the bottom rollers on the
RH 120-E is reflected in reduced face pressure. The
introduction of new materials and a high performance
