Ergonic® inside means that the machine not
only works with high power, fuel e­ fficiency
and low wear, but can also ­efficiently operate
automatically thanks to EPS, for example.

In addition, we have focused on ensuring

optimum interaction between the machine
operator and the machine.

In this way, even complex tasks can be com-

pleted intuitively and therefore easily.
Similarly, the feedback that appears on
the clearly organised display of the radio re-
mote control and on the control cabinet pro-
vides effective support in daily work.

One-handed control for

­easier operation

When the EBC mode is activated, it is

­possible to control the boom horizontally and
vertically using the ergonomic one-handed
control system. As a result, the ­machine
operator does not need to change hand
position or carry out additional ­switchovers
to individual arms.

The pumping process is overall more

the boom and machine are kept to a mini-

pump and vehicle as well as off local
residents and construction workers.
Increased power with „Gas +“
In order to accelerate specific processes such as folding out the boom, the power can be
increased at short notice using „Gas +“. In extreme situations, e. g. if the concrete is
harsh, EOC can be switched off.

 Ergonic® and support – operating range
in a protected environment

Ergonic® Setup Control (ESC) –

protects people and ­investment

ESC is the safety system from Putzmeister used for truck-mounted concrete pumps in
accordance with the guidelines of the DIN EN 12001:2012* standard. However, ESC pro-
vides even more. It helps the machine operator to safely set up and operate the machine,
especially during long, strenuous working days when concentration can start to lapse.
This system therefore serves to both significantly increase the safety of the persons at
the job site and to prevent damage to the investment of the machine operator.

ESC extends the operating range

The working areas given as examples on the following page show just how much flexibil-
ity the ESC safety system allows. Placing arm 1 in a vertical position enables further ad-
ditional working areas.

* E N 12001:2012: This standard stipulates the automatic control over the interaction between the support,
boom movements and pump function.

Ergonic® Graphic Display (EGD) –

ensuring a transparent overview
On the EGD, the machine operator can view all relevant machine data and adjust ­individual
parameters. Live feedback and system information for the machine appear in real time on the
display.

Thanks to a reliable fault management system with a double protection for the control system
(electronic and hydraulic), the machine is fully operational in the event of a fault, even in
emergency operation. If components, such as sensors, that are not relevant for safety fail,
they can be switched off, enabling work to continue without interruption.
