Product Snapshot: Concrete Pump and Compact Excavator
The CC 3300 Combi-Cutter is now available with a mobile shear jaw that is designed for demolition of steel structures, including beams, frames and rebar. As each of its two movable jaws has a hydraulic cylinder, the demolition attachment allows for a constant crushing force during the entire closing cycle. A single main pin supports the cutter jaws, reducing the amount of time needed to change out the jaws during maintenance.

The 60G Compact Excavator is powered by a 53-hp diesel engine that meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The cab enclosure features a redesigned left-side door, allowing for a larger entryway and improved visibility. An auto-idle feature slows the engine speed when the pilot-control levers are released, reducing fuel consumption and noise. It is available with an optional hydraulic backfill-blade attachment that can tilt 25� to the left or right for efficient trench backfilling.
