The PC78US-10 Hydraulic Excavator features a tight tail swing and an offset boom, allowing it to work in a confined jobsite. Powered by a 55-hp engine, the machine features a diesel-oxidation catalyst system that allows it to meet Tier 4 Final emission standards through passive regeneration. An exhaust-gas recirculation system reduces NOx emissions. Its small footprint makes the excavator suitable for utility work in tight, urban environments.

The Roughneck R600 Rock Drill is designed for horizontal directional-drilling applications. Able to drill in solid rock with bit diameters of 7� in. to 8 in., the drill's larger bit allows for the drilling of larger-diameter holes in fewer passes. The percussive drills are capable of 150 ft of drilling per hour. The rock bit's offset design provides greater steering precision.
