Vehicle for mechanical mine clearance Digger D-250

More powerful, with more performing tracks, the DIGGER D-250 is based on the experience gained over three generations of previous machines. It is the result of ten years of field feedbacks integration giving high efficiency even under extreme environmental conditions.

Equipped with a 250 hp engine, weighting less than 12 tonnes, it can be transported by 6x6 truck (without trailer). Relatively small in size in regards of its high power, it fits in a 20 feet ISO shipping container, without disassembling tools.

The DIGGER D-250 is first of all a multipurpose machine designed to respond to deminers' needs. Equipped with quick front and rear couplers, it is compatible with various specific tools (flail and tiller) or Caterpillar® standards (bucket, fork, ...) easily interchangeable. Like so, it can be used in different types of operations such as ground preparation, vegetation clearance, reduced land and demining itself, storage or disposal of dangerous items, etc.

360° armoured , easy to maintain, it is equipped with over-dimensioned hydraulic and cooling systems to withstand the harshest operational conditions. The DIGGER D-250 is designed for a fast handling, even by an inexperienced pilot, in order to ensure an immediate engagement on the ground.

Several equipments are offered in option, such as ultra-high precision GPS (<2cm) with interface designed for humanitarian demining and IMSMA compatible, camera, digging depth control sensors, flow reversal cooling system for selfcleaning of air intake grids ,diesel engine EURO-2 or EURO-3b compatible.
