Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0671511A2] In a swing type excavator, a swing post 13 is attached to an upper structure 11, which is able to turn within a width of an undercarriage 10, at a position forwardly and laterally of a cab 12. A front attachment 1, including a bucket 22, an arm 19, an upper boom 17, a lower boom 14 and a cross link 15, is mounted to the swing post 13. The cross link 15 intersects a line connecting a coupling point between the upper boom 17 and the lower boom 14 and a coupling point between the lower boom 14 and the swing post 13, and changes an opening angle between the upper boom 17 and the lower boom 14 depending on a vertical tilt angle of the lower boom 14. With this arrangement, the upper structure including the front attachment can be turned within the undercarriage width by a simple construction with no need of using a complex link mechanism, and interference between the front attachment and the cab can be easily avoided when the front attachment is swung. Also, a horizontal pin 31 as the coupling point between boom 14 and the swing post 13 is positioned rearwardly of a swing pin 30 as the swing center of the swing post 13 away from the front attachment. With this arrangement, the so-called ultra-small or undercarriage-width turn is realized without reducing both the side ditch distance in a side ditch digging condition and the maximum digging depth in a deep digging posture. <IMAGE>
