Is it a Backhoe? A Loader? – No, It’s a Huddig!

The Huddig is like nothing you’ve ever operated.

It can do so much more than a backhoe, which it resembles.

“It’s a super-diverse machine,” says our guest on this episode of The Dirt, Joel Marreel, strategic accounts manager for Huddig dealer Vancer Rail Systems.

It articulates and oscillates. It can be a 13-ton excavator with no need for stabilizers. It can be a wheel loader, a skid loader, a backhoe. You can even operate a manlift on it.

Any attachment you can run on a 13-ton excavator can be operated on it, and you can travel as you operate. You can even run it by remote control.

“You literally learn something new on the Huddig every single day,” Marreel says.

Host and professional operator Bryan Furnace was blown away by what it could do, including the in-cab functions and ergonomics. “It’s the most comfortable machine I’ve ever operated,” he says.
