This is a wheel excavator, also known as a wheeled digger, built by Solmec. Wheel excavators are mobile earthmoving machines used for digging, material handling, demolition, and loading work across construction, quarrying, and infrastructure projects. They combine the digging power of a tracked excavator with the road mobility and speed of a wheeled platform.
The Solmec EXP5035HD dates to 2014 and has operated for approximately 12,500 hours. It is equipped with a 7.0-metre main boom and 6.0-metre stick, delivering good reach for general excavation and material-handling tasks. The carrier frame features eight solid twin wheels (dual tyres), a 3.60-metre front blade, and rear stabiliser legs to provide stability during digging operations. The cab is mounted on a parallelogram hoist system with a maximum height of 6,000 millimetres, and steering is controlled by joystick rather than a conventional steering wheel. Manual centralised greasing is provided for the chassis. The machine carries a scrap grapple bucket and a rotator head, making it versatile for demolition and recycling work. Operating weight is approximately 41 tonnes.
The machine has undergone a comprehensive 2,000-hour service and overhaul. Work completed includes replacement of boom foot bushings and pins, renewal of hydraulic cylinder seals, belt replacement, replacement of approximately ten hydraulic hoses, electrical harness refurbishment with new connections, replacement of all five boom-mounted hose clamp fittings, overhaul of remaining clamp fittings, replacement of the stick-to-tool interface bushing and pin, replacement of the front-left and front-right wheel rim internal bands, refurbishment of footsteps and repainting, and replacement of headlights. The machine is currently located in France.
