Each new model features a variety of standard features designed to improve productivity and performance. The new machines feature a zero tail swing, short-radius or conventional design; adjustable boom offset for improved maneuverability in congested areas; and an auto-shift travel system for operator convenience. An auxiliary hydraulic system with standard proportional controls, shut-off valve and easy-to-select joystick control patterns offer increased productivity, and a spacious and comfortable operator environment with excellent visibility, ergonomic controls, adjustable seating and line-of-sight digital displays minimizes operator fatigue.

Bucket breakout force is 4,520 lbf. Configured with a canopy, the R30Z- 9AK has an operating weight of 6,380 pounds. When specified with an optional cab, the machine's operating weight is 6,625 pounds. Standard bucket capacity is .10 cubic yards. Each model in the 9A series includes boom swing capability, enabling the operator to offset the boom 75 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right.

R-Series excavator operators can dig with greater confidence over the side of the machine with a standard dual-flange track roller system. The new dual-flange rollers extend the excavator's undercarriage structure closer to the track's edge and provide up to a 15-percent increase in over-the-side capacity and more stability. A new, integrated rear counterweight design lowers the excavator's center of gravity to further enhance machine stability. The new R-Series excavators feature strengthened hinges and latches, and rigid, aligned excavator panels to reduce vibration in the cab, especially when working on rough surfaces.
