What the 40-Ton Excavator Can Do

Heavy-duty muscle for the biggest jobs in Johor Bahru. With the right head fitted it also drives sheet piles and bores foundation holes, so one machine covers earthwork, shoring and piling support.

Hire the 40-tonne when the job looks like this

  • High-power bulk excavation: mass earthmoving, cut-and-fill and deep digs where the quantity, not the access, sets the programme.
  • Sheet pile driving with a vibro hammer: shoring, cofferdams and jacking pits, using our excavator-mounted sheet piling head.
  • Auger foundation drilling: boring holes for piles, footings and foundation works.
  • Quarry and aggregate works: loading, ripping-face handling and bulk material movement.
  • Infrastructure and piling support: platform preparation and heavy trenching alongside a piling rig.
A 40-tonne excavator is the heavy class: 345 horsepower and 26 tonne-force at the bucket, long reach and the breakout force to move serious volume. It is also the carrier for our vibro hammer sheet piling head and our auger, so the same machine that digs the platform can drive the shoring and bore the foundation holes.

What a 40-Ton Excavator Moves in a Day

The 40-ton is not a bigger 20-ton. It is a production machine: a 1.9 cubic metre bucket instead of 0.8, and 26 tonne-force at the bucket instead of 16. On a bulk cut that is not an incremental difference, it is the difference between one machine and three.

One thing to check before you compare quotes. “40-ton” is used loosely in this market. Machines sold as 40-ton run anywhere from 36 to 52 tonnes depending on brand, and a 36-tonne machine has roughly 15 percent less of everything than the figures above. If another quote is cheaper, ask for the operating weight and the bucket capacity in writing before you decide it is the same machine.

Figures are the working specification of our 40-ton class. Breakout and crowd forces are quoted on the ISO 6015 standard, without power-boost. Transport is on our own low loader — roughly 12.0 m long, 3.44 m wide and 3.29 m high on the trailer, which is what your site access has to accept.

Attachment Options

What We Can Fit on the 40-Ton

Two heads turn the same carrier into a piling rig or a drilling rig. Both run on our own 40-tonne machine, with the operator included, so you are not mobilising a second contractor to do one item of work.

penetration sheet pile excavation side SCHEMATIC, NOT TO SCALE

Vibro Hammer

Excavator-mounted sheet pile driver for shoring, cofferdams and jacking pits. Drives and extracts on the same head, so there is no separate piling rig to bring in. On record driving the sheet pile wall for a jacking pit on the Electrified Double Track railway job at Segamat, Johor.

Auger

Bores holes for piles, footings and foundation works. Clean vertical holes cut straight from the excavator, without mobilising a dedicated drilling rig.

Looking for a rock breaker? It runs on our 20-tonne excavator and our backhoe, not on the 40-tonne.
