Gradall At Work: Helsinki, Finland

Hyvinkaan Tieluiska is the finishing contractor on a major highway project in Finland, designed to improve the Helsinki ring road junction with the highway to Tampere -- that country's secondlargest city. It is critical that the job be completed on time, meaning the contractor needs strong, productive, versatile equipment that can work quickly. Hyvinkann used two different Gradall excavator models for this time-sensitive project
-- an XL 4300 III with a rough terrain wheeled undercarriage and an XL 4200 II crawler for challenging work on very rugged terrain. Both machines were involved with grading the correct profiles on the banks and spreading topsoil before grass seed could be sprayed to provide protection from erosion.
