Founded in 1864, Eickhoff operates worldwide as a manufacturer of heavy-duty roadheaders for tunnelling and mining applications. Current jobsites include road and rail tunnels in Switzerland as well as metro extensions in different cities around the globe.
The first of the new Eickhoff ET 480 roadheaders is due to be commissioned shortly in a Swiss hard rock tunnel. Thanks to its 800mm telescopic boom with 300kW cutting power, upgraded heavy-duty machine chassis, bigger crawler carriers and a new easy-maintenance (low-cost) conveyor system, this latest model in the well-proven ET 400 series not only allows cutting a cross-section of up to 94m2 from a stationary position but also exceptional excavation rates in extremely hard and wear-intensive rocks.
Eickhoff also offer a broad range of hydraulic milling cutters for standard excavators, derived from decades of experience in hard rock cutting conditions.
