Powerwise™ II management system perfectly balances engine performance and hydraulic flow for fast, smooth, predictable operation. One work mode makes it simple to do a variety of applications.

Shift from low to high or high to low on the go. The two-speed power-shift transmission ensures a smooth shift every time.

Unlike truck-mounted excavators that are not the most maneuverable, short wheelbases enable the 180C W to slip into close quarters easily. For up-close work, opt for the two-piece boom. Mono boom delivers the reach and lift capacity you need for longer distance work.

Comfort
Generous flow and best-in-class metering ensure powerful digging force, precise low-effort control, and superb multifunction operation.

Wide expanse of glass and numerous mirrors provide nearly unobstructed all-around visibility.

All controls are within easy reach, and their arrangement makes ergonomic sense. Intuitive, easy-to-operate pedals control forward / reverse movement and permit plenty of leg and foot room.

Deluxe suspension high-back armchair adjusts independently or together with the control console to accommodate any size operator.

Automatic, high-capacity blend air bi-level climate control system with optimally positioned louvers helps keep the view clear and the cab comfortable.

Uptime / Service
Durable diesel starts easily, runs quiet, and is easy on fuel. Five-hundred-hour engine oil change interval reduces scheduled service.

Auto-idle saves fuel by reducing engine rpm when hydraulics are not in use.

Aluminum-core coolers provide ten times more corrosion resistance than steel. Wide fin spacing lets trash easily pass to resist plugging and for easier cleanout.

Rigid, reinforced D-channel mainframe and three welded bulkhead plates within the boom and arm deliver maximum strength and durability.

Reinforced resin thrust plates, grooved bushings, and thermal-coated bucket joints increase arm, boom, and bucket lube intervals to 500 hours.
