The "Space Battle" in Euro-American Urban Construction: How Can Wheel Excavators Navigate Narrow Streets Without Causing Congestion?

Date: Jul 11, 2025

In the narrow streets (<6m width) of European old towns (e.g., Paris Left Bank, London West End) and dense underground pipeline scenarios, the compact design and precise operation of wheel excavator for urban construction become crucial. Hengwang Group offers multiple models ≤2.5m wide, achieving "zero-obstruction" construction with 90° in-place steering and foldable booms.

I. Three Core Advantages of Compact Design

Ultra-Narrow Body: Effortless Navigation

HWL40 wheel excavator for urban construction has a width of just 1.8m, easily passing through single-lane barriers.

HWL75S foldable-arm wheel excavator for urban construction reduces to 2.14m when transported, traversing narrow intersections without attachment removal.

Flexible Steering: Precision Matters

All wheel excavator for urban construction models feature standard 90° in-place steering. In Paris’ 6m-wide medieval streets, they complete bidirectional operations with a single turn.

Hydraulic dual outriggers (e.g., HWL90 configuration) support the chassis, preventing damage to underground utilities.

Quick Attachment Change: Versatility

Wheel excavator for urban construction enables 30-second attachment swaps (bucket, breaker, auger, etc.), simultaneously performing road breaking, pipeline laying, and backfilling in London’s historic districts.

II. Technical Parameters Prove "Space Conquest"

Take HWL75S wheel excavator for urban construction as an example:

lMin. turning radius: 6.8m (enables bidirectional work in Milan’s 6m-wide Gondola docks);

lBucket capacity: 0.3m³ (covers two parking spaces per operation, efficiency +50%);

lLow-noise design (<75 dB) meets EU certification, allowing night work without disturbance.

III. Application Guide for Typical Scenarios

lParis underground pipeline repair: Foldable boom + HD camera remote control avoids cables;

lLondon old-town road renovation: Dual outriggers + quick-change attachments for simultaneous breaking/laying/backfilling;

lBerlin historic district restoration: Low chassis + silent hydraulics protect century-old stone roads.

Why Choose Hengwang?

Compliance: Full EU CE certification, pre-installed utility detector slots;

Cost advantage: 30% lower energy consumption than electric equipment, 40% reduced rental costs;

The precision and flexibility of wheel excavator for urban construction liberate old-town renovations from spatial constraints.
