Designed for simple maintenance, the rollers feature maintenance-free steering cylinder pins, travel bearings and a bolt-on articulation joint. The engine air intake is positioned high above the ground to increase filter life, and the hood opens vertically for easy access to the engine, hydraulics and all service points.

Several new features on the BW211-40 Series increase operator comfort and jobsite safety, adding a repositioned, integrated instrumentation cluster and improved ergonomics and operator sight ability.
