Raising the bar for the Aussie hydro excavation industry

KOR has recently developed and released the KOR-Train program: a media enabled training program that is accessible via a smart mobile device or tablet. With video training packages outlining key operational functions of the units, the training will enhance operator safety and unit efficiency.

The program is endorsed as the correct operating procedure by the original equipment manufacturer and is available for 24/7 use. It encourages compliance and builds competency within a business, leading to greater profitability through greater productivity.

Hydro excavation is a method that is becoming the nation’s standard as a safe method of asset protection when working to expose subsurface utilities, limiting or removing the risk of asset strikes and improved worksite safety in comparison to traditional modes of excavation. Further to that, hydro excavation has the capability to complete trenching, manhole excavations pole installation and piling.

Considering hydro excavation’s long-term steady growth in Australia, KOR delivers, trains and supports equipment designed to exceed the requirements of working in Australian conditions.

CC Drain Cleaner and CC Hydro

The CAP COMBI 2600 CC Hydro unit and CAP COMBI 2600 CC Drain Cleaner have ease of use and simplicity at the core of their design. This makes both units popular with civil construction and infrastructure businesses.

Their simplicity is demonstrated through full wireless remote-control functionality and superior boom rotation and extension to increase the safe operational area which in turn reduces the safety risk to operators, ensuring high productivity and driving value for both the client and contractor.

The Cappellotto CAP COMBI 2600 CC 6×4 Hydro unit rivals other four-axle excavators for productivity, has low operating costs and, despite its compact size, can complete larger jobs that 8×4 units would typically complete.

Meanwhile, the corresponding CAP COMBI 2600 CC Drain Cleaner offers minimal design changes for businesses to easily support a fleet containing both units. The CC Drain Cleaner offers simplistic operational capability without compromising on performance, offering full size drain cleaning with a 1 inch (26 mm) jetting system and a 6 inch (153 mm) vacuum pump.

Equipped with a 7,000 kg payload, the units can transport significant waste loads while remaining legally compliant with axle limits when on the road. Both units feature an unmatched 8,000 L sludge tank coupled with a 4,300 L water tank and a high-performance vacuum system.

Innovation at the ‘KOR’

The KOR-Train program offers and innovative solution to improve operator safety and compliance in a way that complements the CC Hydro and CC Drain Cleaner’s performance capability to meet the demands of the Australian hydro excavation industry.

For those interested in learning more about these units or KOR-Train, the KOR team are more than happy to provide information or organise a unit demonstration.
