Erkat Celebrates 25 Years of Innovation
Published: 15/1
With 25 years of experience in the development, manufacturing, and application of rock cutting excavator attachments, Erkat has established itself as a pioneer in the industry. All main components are manufactured in Germany, ensuring that the company’s products are robust, reliable, and meet the highest quality standards. Erkat’s product ranges—including the patent pending V- range, ER and ERC transverse drum cutters, ERL axial drum cutter, and ADU auger drills—offer smart solutions for applications such as tunneling, quarrying, demolition, trenching, and many others.
Erkat drum cutters use a low-energy method of impact, resulting in low noise and vibration. Their high production rates are perfect for soft rock excavation and demolition, outperforming other attachment tools and creating cut material with a grain size small enough to be used for backfilling. Best of hall, Erkat drum cutters provide a high return on investment with accurate removal of material, no transportation, and secondary crushing of broken material.
Erkat´s drum cutters have proven their versatility and reliability in a variety of challenging environments, from offshore applications reaching nearly 500 ft (152m) deep off Newfoundland, Canada, to operating at jobsites at an altitude of more than 9,800 ft (3,000m) in Tibet.
