Walking Excavators for Hard-to-Reach Work Sites
A walking excavator is the right choice when earthwork needs to be performed in areas where conventional mini-excavators reach their limits. Whether on slopes, forest trails, in ditches, on uneven terrain, or in tight work areas—thanks to its compact design and hydraulic outriggers, a walking excavator can be flexibly positioned and safely operated. The Jansen MB-360° was developed specifically for such tasks and combines high maneuverability with a robust design.
Thanks to its 360° rotating turret and powerful hydraulics, digging and excavation work can be carried out efficiently without having to constantly reposition the machine. This saves time and makes work easier, especially on small properties or in difficult terrain.
The Jansen MB-360° is the walking excavator in the Jansen lineup. Its compact design allows it to be used wherever larger construction machines cannot fit or are unsuitable due to the ground conditions. At the same time, the sturdy construction ensures a secure footing while working.
The powerful gasoline engine reliably supplies the hydraulic system with the necessary power. The excavator arm can be precisely controlled using the responsive cross-lever control, allowing both small-scale earthwork and more demanding projects to be carried out with precision.
- 360° slewing ring for maximum maneuverability
- Hydraulic outriggers for a secure footing
- Powerful gasoline engine
- Compact design for tight work areas
- Precise hydraulic control
- Auxiliary hydraulics for additional attachments
- Removable drawbar for on-site transport
Typical applications for a walking excavator
Thanks to its design, the Jansen MB-360° is suitable for a wide variety of tasks in residential, agricultural, forestry, and gardening and landscaping applications.
- Excavating foundations
- Drainage and cable trenches
- Earthwork on sloped properties
- Work along embankments
- Planting holes and landscaping
- Renaturation and landscape conservation
- Work on forest and logging roads
Attachments and accessories for the walking excavator
A major advantage of the Jansen MB-360° is its versatility. With the right attachments, the walking excavator can be optimally adapted to the task at hand. This ensures the machine remains flexible even when requirements change.
Excavator buckets for various tasks
Various bucket sizes are available for the walking excavator. The appropriate model can be selected based on trench width, soil conditions, or excavation volume.
On compacted soil, in areas with roots, or on rocky ground, the right ripper tooth makes soil preparation much easier. This allows the actual excavation work to be carried out much more efficiently.
The optional grab significantly expands the walking excavator’s range of applications. Wood, branches, tree trunks, stones, or cut material can be safely picked up, transported, and placed. The grab offers tangible added value, particularly in gardening, landscaping, and forestry work.
For longer distances on the property or construction site, the optional set of transport wheels makes it easier to move the walking excavator. This allows the machine to be conveniently moved between different work sites.
What should you look for when buying a walking excavator?
In addition to digging depth and engine power, maneuverability and expandability play a particularly important role. A wide swing range saves time while working, while auxiliary hydraulics enable the use of additional attachments. Equally important are a robust construction and a long-term supply of replacement parts.
- Stable footing even on difficult terrain
- 360° slewing ring for efficient operation
- Auxiliary hydraulics for attachments
- Precise controllability
- Robust construction for heavy-duty use
- Long-term supply of replacement parts
