The K008-5 offers a maximum digging depth of 1,725 mm and an impressive dumping height of 2,035 mm, providing excellent reach and productivity. The redesigned operator area features improved legroom, intuitive controls, and low vibration for greater comfort and less fatigue during long working hours.
