The heavy-duty excavator R 970 SME is designed for intensive use. Its equipment includes a massive undercarriage borrowed from the larger R 976 model and a heavier counterweight, allowing the excavator to handle particularly large buckets. At the same time, the special design of the boom and stick provides very high digging forces.
