VIDEO: Huddig 1370 TIGON G2 brings hybrid power to a multifunctional excavator loader
Complex jobs can require an equally complex equipment lineup, with different machines brought in for digging, loading, lifting, and specialized attachment work. Huddig's 1370 excavator loader is designed to consolidate those functions on one platform, allowing an operator to move between tasks without changing machines. The Swedish OEM targets construction, utility, and rail applications where crews may encounter difficult terrain, confined spaces, frequent moves between jobs, and several different types of work in the same day. Instead of specializing in a single task, the articulated Huddig 1370 combines excavator and wheel loader capabilities with a range of equipment options that allow it to function as a crane, mobile elevating work platform, and high-capacity tool carrier. For even greater operational flexibility, contractors can choose between the standard 1370, with a conventional diesel powertrain, and the 1370 TIGON G2, which is powered by Huddig's hybrid technology — now in its second generation. Huddig 1370 combines multiple machine functions Huddig has been refining the excavator loader concept since 1959 and has manufactured more than 12,500 machines. The 1370 is purpose-built as a multi-functional excavator loader, with an oscillating centre pivot that keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground over uneven terrain and high-capacity hydraulics designed to support a wide range of attachments. Equipment options can further expand the machine's role on job sites. Depending on the configuration, the 1370 can be equipped with a loader-mounted crane, work platform, tiltrotator, and a wide range of specialized attachments. That can significantly change how a utility contractor approaches a job. For example, following storm damage in Sweden, a Huddig 1370 was used to replace a utility pole in about four hours without repositioning. By combining crane and lift functions on one machine, Huddig says the 1370 completed work that would otherwise require two or three pieces of equipment. The economics of the Huddig are built around that consolidation. The company acknowledges that its machines can carry a higher initial investment, but fewer pieces of equipment to transport, maintain, and insure; fewer operators required; and greater productivity from a single platform can offset that cost.
