What is tail swing and why does it matter?

What it is

Tail swing is how far the rear of the upper structure extends beyond the undercarriage when the machine rotates. A conventional machine needs that space behind it; a reduced-tail-swing or zero-tail-swing machine stays closer to its own footprint.

On narrow streets, beside live traffic or against a wall, less tail swing means you can work without closing the lane. The trade-off is usually a tighter cab and sometimes less lifting capacity at the rear.

Ask us for the model, tonnage or destination you have in mind — we reply with matching units and an FOB or CIF quotation.
