Vertical milling excavators use imported hydraulic motors, high-torque reducers, and high-strength alloy cutters to ensure stable operation under high loads in harsh environments, and can also work underwater. In addition, connecting sleeves of different lengths can be customized to adapt to various construction conditions.
High efficiency: Its cutters and power system quickly mill various materials, greatly accelerating construction progress.
Flexibility: It adjusts flexibly for horizontal or vertical operations, adapting to different scenarios. The rotary drum cutter also has such flexibility, working well in complex conditions.
Durability: High-quality imported components (e.g., motors, bearings) extend service life and reduce maintenance. The rotary drum cutter also performs well in durability, withstanding long-term high-intensity work.
Safe construction: The equipment runs stably, ensuring worker safety and efficient progress. Small milled materials need no secondary processing and can be directly used for backfilling, saving costs.
