Top - Efforts Toward Environmenal Harmony

Mankind is currently facing environmental problems on a global scale. In order to hand down the beautiful natural environment to the younger generation, we are making efforts for the development of environmentally friendly machines that can be recycled and with less environmental burdens.

We are developing machines with low-noise, low-vibration and low-gas emission.

The construction equipment industry is developing machines with less environmental burdens such as low-noise, low-vibration and low-gas emission to protect the lives of those living near construction sites like those in city construction projects. Currently, low-noise/low-gas emission type construction equipment approved by the Ministry of Construction with standards equivalent to that in the U.S. and Europe are entering the market one after another. Furthermore, tighter regulations concerning noise and gas emission by the Ministry of Construction and the Environment Agency in the same way as the U.S. and Europe are currently being examined for the beginning of the 21st century. We are currently challenging various technical issues to answer to these demands.

We Are Developing Environmental Creation Type Construction Equipment

Construction debris such as concrete and asphalt that is generated during construction work is becoming a social issue. Recently mobile crushing machines to recycle such debris directly at the site for reuse as filling material and aggregate heve been developed and commonly used. In such manner, the construction equipment industry is making efforts in new environmental measures concerning construction work by the development of machines.

Development of Designs that Harmonize with the Environment

The exterior design of construction equipment has shifted from the conventional flat look to a rounder design. Colors such as green and sky blue are also more commonly used. The construction equipment industry not only develops construction equipment with scenic attention for operators and construction related personnel but for those living near such sites as well.

Development of Designs that Harmonize with the Environment

The "Independent Action Plan for Earth Environment Preservation" has been established to tackle issues such as energy saving and industrial waste measures even in the manufacturing stages of construction equipment.
